West Control Solutions KS 45 Single Loop Universal Temperature Controller

The universal KS 45 controller is designed to provide precise and cost-effective temperature control. The controller output is configurable as a signaller, 2-point or continuous PID control, 3-point control with optional split range and 3-point stepping control. A universal input is provided for the process value signal. A second analog input is available for heating current measurement or for an external setpoint signal. The KS 45 has two switching outputs. The universal output is configurable as a voltage or current signal, for controlling solid-state relays or as a transmitter supply signal. Galvanic isolation is provided between inputs and outputs as well as from the supply voltage and the communication interfaces. The controller is ideal for use in the following applications: Furnaces, ovens, burners and boilers Plastics processing Driers and climatic chambers Heat treatment plants Sterilizers Oxygen applications Benefits & Features Compact solution for distributed automation Display and operating functions 2 universal inputs for TC, RTD, R, U, I, O2 Universal output, relays / optocoupler outputs Front interface and BlueControl®-softwar e RS 485 interface Compact design, only 22.5 mm (0.87”) wide - saves space in the control cabinet Clips onto top-hat DIN rail Plug-in screw terminals or spring-clamp connectors - simple connection Dual-line LC display with additional display elements - process values always in view Convenient 3-key operation Direct communication between mounted controllers, fieldbus connections via bus coupler - simple integration into PLC / PC Universal input- also reduces stock keeping Second analog input - for external setpoint or heating current - as universal input (optional) Universal high-resolution output as combined voltage/current output Two output relays or optocoupler outputs Fast 100 ms response - also suitable for fast signals 2-point, 3-point, 3-point stepping, continuous output Self-tuning function
