New profiling capability comes in the form of the smart ramp-soak feature that provides 16 steps (ramp/dwell) with 7 profile patterns.
A guaranteed soak feature ensures the load is kept within a specific temperature range for a specific time period, making the PXG range a very competent performer.
Other features new to the range include true universal input, ramping SV, soft-start, auto manual operation, password protection and alarm flicker function.
The PXG accepts temperature and process inputs and offers two control outputs.
A wealth of low-cost options include RS485 communications, remote set value input, digital input (max 5 points), digital outputs (max 5 points), transmitter power supply (1/4 DIN only), programmable alarms and 24V AC/DC supply voltage.
One of the most impressive features is the large LED display - larger than any other on the market in the 1/16 DIN size format, offering unparalleled display quality.
The faceplate, designed for IP66 (NEMA 4X equivalent), is watertight and corrosion-resistant.
In addition to auto-tuning and fuzzy control, it 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.
Remote monitoring of up to 31 controllers at a time is possible with the RS485 option that uses the industry-standard Modbus protocol.
A powerful tool for the OEM customer is the configuration programme loader option with Windows-based software.
Programmes for different applications can be saved to and from the controller.
