The EPC3000 range of programmable single loop process and temperature
controllers maximizes efficiency and repeatability and is certified for
cybersecurity communications robustness.
The controllers combine industry leading control and measurement performance
with simplicity of use while remaining highly flexible.
A simple “Quick Start” configuration code, enables fast commissioning “Out
of the Box” using just the instrument HMI. For applications requiring additional
processing, user function block wiring provides a full range of math, logic,
totalizer and specialized functions.
A highly visible three-color display with natural language status and alarm
indications is easy and clear for operators to use.
EPC3000 is highly durable, with a battery-free design and extended service life. |
Process inputs are fast and accurate, with exceptional thermal stability, aiding
precise and consistent control over long periods without calibration drift.
Recalibration and user calibration correction functions are available to further
improve accuracy.
The industry leading Eurotherm PID algorithm delivers fast reacting and
repeatable control and has been enhanced for EPC3000 to further reduce
overshoot. Rapid rise to operating temperature and low oscillation aids high
process throughput at low scrap rates. Different PID settings may be applied in
different process operating regions for optimum performance. |
The EPC3000 Ethernet enabled controller range is Eurotherm’s first to be
designed and certified to meet the stringent cybersecurity requirements
of Achilles® Communications Robustness Testing Level 1. Ethernet
communications are supported via a standard RJ45 connector, providing fast
access to process and diagnostic information as well as connectivity to external
PLC or plant SCADA.
Modbus RTU serial communications is also supported.
A free PC based backup and configuration tool uses a USB connection, powering
the instrument from the USB interface for convenient desktop configuration. |
