PRC-309 – Ramp/Soak Programmable PID Temperature Controller – 1 to 10 profiles – each of 16 steps.
Libratherm offers Microcontroller based multiple Ramp/Soak Programmable PID Temperature Controller Model PRC-309 which is designed to improve reliability, accuracy, and control for all processing applications. It features Ramp and Soak functions (the capability to control the temperature and its rate of change over a predetermined time span). This PID Pressure Controller PRC-309 offers one to ten different patterns each of 16 (ramp/soak) steps, which can be programmed into the memory with the user-friendly membrane keyboard. Separate displays are provided to monitor simultaneously; the Process temperature, Set temperature, and the Program number. They can also be used as single set point control when the profile control is not desired. They accept user-selectable standard temperature sensors like K, R, S, and B type thermocouples.
The Profile Ramp Soak PID Temperature Controller offers both switching outputs in the form of SSR driver or Triac to drive external single or three-phase Solid-state relays or load contactors and linear analog control outputs in the form of (4-20)mA or (0-5)volt or (0-10)VDC, which can be used to control heater power through Thyristor Power Regulators (for an electrical heating system) or to control the position of a modulating motor valve (for oil or gas-fired heating systems). The analog outputs can be directly connected to Libratherm make single-phase/three-phase SCR based phase angle fired power controllers, which are ideally suitable for both resistive and inductive heating load. Additional 4 relays are also provided for time or temperature-dependent event outputs as per the system requirement. The programmed profile and other parameters are retained in the nonvolatile flash memory in the event of power failure.
To monitor the online temperature profile of the heating system, a serial communication port on the RS485 interface can also be optionally provided, the same can be connected to the computer. Libratherm offers Microsoft Window-based Software to view the online behavior of the heating system in both graphical and tabular format on the computer screen.
