EPC3000 Programmable Controller

The EPC3000 range of programmable single loop process and temperature controllers maximizes efficiency and repeatability and is certified for cybersecurity communications robustness.

Accuracy and Repeatability

Process inputs are fast and accurate, with exceptional thermal stability, aiding precise and consistent control over long periods without calibration drift. Recalibration and user calibration correction functions are available to further improve accuracy.

The industry-leading Eurotherm PID algorithm delivers fast reacting and repeatable control and has been enhanced in the EPC3000 range to further reduce overshoot. Rapid rise to operating temperature and low oscillation helps improve yield. PID settings may be adjusted to suit specific process operating regions, helping deliver optimum performance.

Connectivity and Cybersecurity

The EPC3000 controller range is Ethernet enabled as standard and is the first Eurotherm controller to be designed and certified to meet the stringent cybersecurity requirements of Achilles® Communications Robustness Testing Level 1. Ethernet communications are supported via a standard RJ45 connector, providing fast access to process and diagnostic information as well as connectivity to external PLCs, SCADA systems and IIoT technologies.

Modbus RTU serial communication is also supported.

A free PC-based backup and configuration tool uses a USB connection, to power the instrument for convenient desktop configuration.

Both the piccolo™ P304i Melt Pressure indicator and P304c controller have a 50ms sample rate to give the fast-acting control and alarm functionality required in the plastics industry. The P304c controller provides outstanding control performance in an affordable package for a wide variety of pressure sensors.
Input/output flexibility

A strain gauge or process linear input is standard with an optional strain gauge input for differential pressure control, or a universal input for remote setpoint. Up to two opto-isolated DC linear outputs are available for control or retransmission along with one standard logic input for alarm reset/acknowledge or zero calibration of sensor. An additional four logic inputs may be selected for remote activation of functions like auto/manual mode selection and increase/ decrease of power output.

The display

A custom, dual-line 5-digit display provides a complete view of the process while a horizontal bar graph gives clear visual indication of the process input. The status of alarms, outputs, active setpoint and engineering units are represented with clear beacons on the front of the unit.

Configuration

The P304 is fully software configurable using iTools PC configuration and parameter monitoring. iTools provides the ability to edit, store and ‘clone’ complete controller configurations as well as data logging and process monitoring capability.

Ramp-soak timer and soft start

A ramp soak timer is provided for time based profiling of temperature sequences. These can be used to gradually vary the temperature in a control zone before maintaining it at a defined level, and is typically used to avoid the dangers of damage due to thermal shock.

Overshoot elimination

The unique cutback system ensures precise control to setpoint and when correctly tuned inhibits temperature overshoot.

Ideal for:

• Precision PID controller
• Plastics Extrusion
• Food and Beverage
• Furnaces and Ovens
• Incubators
• Laboratory equipment

User function block wiring with optional math, logic, totalizer and specialized functions allows the unit to take on additional system functions beyond PID control.

EPC2000 is designed for an extended service life, with FRAM battery-free non-volatile data storage.

Accuracy and repeatability

The EPC2000 measurement input is fast and accurate, with exceptional thermal stability, aiding precise and consistent control over long periods without calibration drift. As such it provides excellent front end control for processes requiring accurate control, including aerospace and advanced materials processing.

The Eurotherm PID algorithm delivers fast reacting and repeatable control and has been further enhanced to help reduce overshoot Rapid attainment of operating temperature and low oscillation aids high process throughput at low scrap rates. Different PID settings may be applied in different operating ranges for optimum performance.
