Universal Process / Temperature Controllers
Controllers offer 3-phase alarm.
Press Release Summary:
CB Series is available with 2-point input for 3-phase Heater Break Alarm (HBA) in addition to single phase. Alarm detects heater load that has been partially or completely broken. HBA function requires 30 or 100 Amp current transformer to check actual amperage on heater load. Controllers come in 1/16, 1/8 vertical and horizontal, 72 mm, and 1/4 DIN sizes. They accept thermocouple, RTD, current and voltage input with user-programmable ranges and scaling.Original Press Release:
RKC Instrument Announces CB Series 3 Phase HBA Option
SOUTH BEND, IN - RKC Instrument announces an additional option for the Heater Break Alarm on the versatile CB Series controllers. A new two point input allows for a Three Phase
Heater Break Alarm in addition to the single phase currently offered. Heater Break alarms reduce down time by detecting a heater load that has been either partially or completely broken. The HBA function requires a 30 or 100 Amp current transformer to check actual amperage on the heater load. The series continues to offer three other user-programmable alarms that may be set for High, Low, Band, or Loop Break Alarm.
The CB Series, available in 1/16th, 1/8th vertical and horizontal, 72mm and 1/4th DIN sizes, feature large, easy-to-read displays. The series accepts thermocouple, RTD, current and
voltage input with ranges and scaling that are user-programmable. Relay, voltage, and current outputs are available as plug-in modules for easy field installation. MODBUS protocol is available.
Other features include digital inputs, analog retransmission for use with chart recorders or other devices requiring process information, and RUN/STOP or RUN/Standby modes. These contact inputs allow the user to remotely control PID loop calculations and output to the process without turning off the display.
The availability of numerous sizes and features make the CB Series flexible enough for end-users or OEM's in a wide range of applications which include plastics extrusion, blow molding, ovens, furnaces, kilns, food baking, petro-chemical, semiconductor, test stands, environmental chambers, and other heater processes.
