Comprehensive security and data integrity make the versadac ideal for use in regulated industries, such as pharmaceutical or heat treatment, or for any application where loss of data during a manufacturing process would result in loss of revenue through scrap or rework. Data is recorded in tamper resistant binary check summed files (known as UHH) and stored in on board flash memory. Flexible archiving strategies ensure long term data is kept secure for later retrieval and analysis if required.

The versatility of this unit comes from a flexible range of base sizes and selection of input and output modules to best suit specific application needs. A wide range of software features are available including batch control, maths functions, totalisers, communications channels and audit trail. Electronic signatures and password control functionality which meets the requirements of FDA 21 CFR Part 11 is also available. Upgrade of both software and hardware can be easily carried out on site ensuring the versadac recorder can grow with your process needs.

The versadac recorder is easy to integrate into wider systems with Modbus Master or Slave communications options. The modular equipment can also be distributed throughout the plant in best position to reduce installation and cabling costs.

Set up of the recorder is via the easy to use iTools PC software. Configurations can be saved and re-used and pre-configured modules are available to reduce engineering costs. Once installed, the recorders can be viewed and managed securely from anywhere on the network, improving operational efficiency. Archived data can be automatically stored to designated FTP servers.

This new package automates the production of survey reporting by combining the secure .uhh file data from a Field Test Instrument with the database management of Eurotherm Review. This directly produces reports which comply with the requirements of AMS2750F.

The report is created in 3 steps!

1. Using your Eurotherm graphical recorder of choice, collect relevant data pertaining to the survey.
2. Once you have collected the necessary data, transfer the data to your Review data management software. This can easily be done via removable media (USB & Compact flash), transfer to FTP server, or let Review connect to the recorder to pull data as necessary.
3. With all data collected and transferred into the Review database, you can now use the TUS software to generate your report and print.

Mechanical contactors controlling heating elements may operate three million times per year. The lifetime of these contactors is between 1 and 3 years; therefore they need to be replaced regularly during the typical life of an industrial machine.

ESwitch is an interesting solution to solve this problem. Because the contact is electronic, the lifetime is significantly extended. Its wiring is as simple as for a mechanical contactor and the mounting is very easy: just clip it on a DIN rail! It features a broad range of AC and DC command signals with a front face LED to display the input status to help commissioning and diagnostics.

Extend the life of your heaters

Tests performed by a well-known heater supplier have shown that heaters can last up to seven times longer when used with a solid state contactor. Faster on/off cycle times cause less thermal expansion and contraction and thus reduce breakage due to fatigue and thermo-mechanical stress. So by preserving the heating elements, ESwitch will allow you to maximize your ROI:

• Increase lifetime of heating elements​
• Reduce downtime
• Minimise scrap
• Improve yield and productivity

By combining robustness, security of operations with simplicity of integration and use, ESwitch offers the best ratio of ‘performance versus price’ for the power switches market.

Ideal for

• Injection moulding
• Thermo-forming
• Multi-zone heating
• Autoclaves
• Ovens

Easy to integrate and commission, yet highly cost effective, the EFit SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) Power Controller provides no compromise control for resistive and infrared heating elements. Ideal for all heating applications and fully compliant to international quality, immunity, and emissions standards, Efit power controller achieves outstanding stable, precise control in the most demanding industrial environments, even when cabinet space is at a premium.

The perfect fit for simple heating applications

Some Industrial processes such as heat treatment require precise temperatures in order to comply with regulations and it is imperative that the workpiece temperature is kept within specific limits. This can be difficult to achieve in industrial plants where the operation of large machinery can cause fluctuations in the voltage supply. In the case of resistive heaters a variation of 10% in the supply voltage will generate a 20% variation in the power to the load, resulting in undesirable temperature fluctuations. EFit SCR controller contains built in compensation that continues to apply stable power with better than ±2% linearity at the boundaries of the load, even during fluctuations in the supply. The result is a reliable, repeatable heating process and high quality end products compliant to demanding heat treatment standards.

Connect Easily

Straightforward connection and commissioning, combined with a compact format to maximise use of cabinet space makes EFit controller the perfect fit for power control in both new and retrofit applications.

Easy Installation

• Nothing to configure — plug and play
• Nothing to fix — just clip onto DIN rail
• Minimal connection — pre-wireable plug in connectors

Easy Integration

• Compact dimensions reduce cabinet costs
• Integrates worldwide — global standard approvals and international voltages
• Consistent form factor — same height and depth across the range
• Ideal form and fit drop in replacement for EurothermTE10A

Improve Processes

Designed to give a fast stable response even in heavy industrial environments, EFit SCR power controller will enable you to run continuously optimised heating processes with minimum down time. This faster throughput improves OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), helping you achieve your KPIs (Key Performance Indicators).

Increase throughput

• Maximise utilisation of plant equipment thanks to fast stable control response

Reduce down time

• Reliably operates in heavy industrial conditions — high immunity to electromagnetic disturbances
• Robust — operates in high temperature, humidity and altitude environments

Control Precisely

EFit SCR controller offers built in power stabilisation and a variety of firing modes for different types of load, which lead to energy savings and higher quality end products when compared to more basic power controllers.

Reduce hidden energy costs

• No wasted energy — built in compensation provides stable power control even during power fluctuations, eliminating unexpected changes in heater temperature
• Better power factor— save hidden energy costs with dedicated firing modes for each type of load, including a variety of burst modes that provide an efficient alternative to Phase Angle, such as advanced single cycle firing to reduce flicker in short-wave infrared heaters

Consistently high quality end products that comply to standards

• No scrap or rework – linearity better than ±2% of range, accurately controls heaters and maintains the correct load temperature

Standardise Globally

EFit power controllers offer peace of mind for installers working in a global environment where industry regulations form an essential part of the engineering supply chain.

• Conformity to cUL directive (Canada and USA)
• CCC exempt: product not listed in catalogue of products subject to compulsory certification
• China RoHS
