Designed to offer outstanding performance in an affordable package providing a complete solution for a wide variety of applications, this range guarantees extremely easy access to parameterization and operation in a high quality unit.

Despite their advanced features, the controllers are easy to use and apply and may be customised for ease of operation. Full autotune is provided.

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

P304 1/4 DIN Melt Pressure Indicator / Controller

Eurotherm — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 08:52:56 +0000

Specifications

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.
