West Control Solutions KS 816 Multi-Loop Multiple Transmitter & Temperature Controller

Description
The microprocessor-contr olled KS 816 controller provides precise, low-cost multi-loop control of temperature and features an interface for bus or field-bus. The KS 816 can be used as a freely configurable field-bus transmitter with universal inputs for standard signals, thermocouples and Pt 100 signals. The instrument provides optional functionality for output hold in case of sensor break and the start-up circuit ensures increased element life and prevent interruptions during production. The self-tuning feature guarantees very short start-up times. Standard functions such as set-point lowering and heating/cooling with four alarms make the KS 816 ideally suited for temperature control process in the following applications: Plastics processing machinery Heated moulds Packaging machinery Tempering units Other similar thermal processes Benefits & Features 16-channel-controlle r/transmitter in housing for rail mounting Connection for "Blue Control" engineering software 16 individually configurable universal inputs Controller outputs via (field) bus compatible to KS800 CAN/CANopen, PROFIBUS-DP, RS 485/422 16 individually configurable universal inputs for ± 0...10 V, 0...20 mA, thermocouples, Pt 100 Comprehensive software functions: self-tuning, start-up circuit and set-point gradients Controller outputs via (field) bus Connection of Engineering Tool or local operating terminal
