The C50 is a 1/16 DIN controller and alarm unit designed for simple PID control applications. It features a high visibility dual 4-digit display that shows both the set point and process variable. The unit supports a universal process input, allowing direct connection for various process signals, including thermocouples, RTDs, and linear milliamps or volts. It offers standard relay or logic control outputs for on/off or time proportioning control, and can be configured with an optional alarm relay for high/low process alarms. With an IP65 (NEMA3) rating, the C50 is suitable for use in harsh environments, ensuring reliability and full noise immunity. The one-shot autotune function allows for automatic optimization of PID settings, enhancing ease of use. The unit can also be configured to ramp set points gradually, minimizing process shock during changes. Overall, the C50 is a versatile option for engineers seeking a compact and efficient controller/alarm unit for various applications.
The C50 Controller/Alarm unit is a compact, single-loop controller, with the capability to measure, indicate and control a variety of process variables. The unit is ideal for simple PID control, offering on/off or time proportioning control with a one shot self-tune facility. The C50 can also act as an independent alarm unit, for example, as an over-temperature safety cutout unit for furnaces or ovens. The unit is quickly set up for most process signal inputs and, with IP65 (NEMA3) front panel protection, is suitable for a wide range of applications.
