Original Press Release:
New Features Enhance Fuji Electric's PXR4 1/16 DIN Controller
January 13, 2003 - The new PXR4 controller includes a host of options to meet a wide variety of needs in the process industries. Existing low-cost options include RS485 communications, digital input, timer function, heater burnout alarm, dual outputs, and programmable alarms. Brand-new options include retransmission and remote setpoint. The PXR4 is truly the most feature-packed 1/16 DIN controller at this price.
One of the most impressive features is the large LED display - larger than any other 1/16 DIN controller on the market. The faceplate, designed for NEMA-4X (IP66 equivalent), is watertight and corrosion-resistant. The easy-to-use 3-button keypad allows for programming similar to the popular PXW controller. The screw terminal on the back further reduces cost by eliminating the need for sockets.
In addition to the auto-tuning and fuzzy control that is standard in Fuji Electric controllers, the PXR4 now comes with self-tuning - an innovation in the control field. It automatically retunes the controller under certain conditions, without the need to revert to auto-tuning. The standard 8-segment ramp/soak feature has been expanded to include two patterns that can be linked to create a 16-step profile. The PXR4 accepts temperature and process inputs, and offers two control outputs and two programmable alarms.
Remote monitoring of up to 31 controllers at a time is possible with the RS485 option that uses the industry-standard Modbus(TM) protocol. The purchase of a PXR4 with PC communications includes our free Windows®-based software - PXR-LITE(TM).
Prices start at $179. As with all products purchased from TTI, Fuji Electric's PXR4 controller comes with free technical support for the lifetime of the product. The PXR4 carries the UL, CSA, and CE marks.
