TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM CALogix
CALogix is a modular system that consists of a DIN-rail mounted base unit and up to 4 control modules.
CALogix is a modular multi-loop PID controller with logic function capability. The controller consists of a DIN-rail mount base-unit that incorporates the power supply, RS485 communications ports and slots for up to 4 control modules. The control modules are available as PID or Logic I/O and can be selected then mounted into the base-unit as required for the application. Variations in PID control modules include temperature sensor and linear (0-50mV, 4-20mA, 0-5V & 0-10V) inputs with options for relay, ssd or analog (4-20mA, 0-5V & 0-10V) outputs. Logic I/O modules have user defined 0-5, 0-10, 0-24Vdc inputs with relay or ssd outputs. All wiring connectors to the base unit and control modules are plug-in to reduce installation and maintenance times. CALogix is configured using the Windows™ based CALogix-sw configuration tool which is provided with each base-unit. PID setup, input & output parameter settings, profile creation and writing logic function block diagrams can all be performed within the software utility. These settings can be read, modified and written to and from the controller and also saved on the PC as a file to be recalled at a later date when required. The program also provides information on current process value, set-points and output status which can be useful when commissioning the system.
