GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The CB Series combines easy-to-use operation with the latest temperature control advances at a competitive price. With powerful new features such as RKC’s new self-tuning for precise automatic control, digital communications for networking, IP66 (IP65) for waterproof/dustproof protection and heater and loop break alarm capabilities to detect system failures, these controllers deliver exceptional process performance for the most demanding industrial applications.

FEATURES

Bright, easy –to-read LED Displays                         advanced self-tuning               

Digital communications Heat/Cool action                        Heater/Loop break alarms                 

SELF-TUNING ALGORITHM

The CB Series offers a new self-tuning feature that is initiated at start-up and when processes parameters or conditions change. In these situations, the controller evaluates whether the preset PID parameters should be maintained or replaced by the latest self-tuning parameters to achieve the best control for the process. Self-tuning can be manually turned ON/OFF in the parameter setting mode. This feature is not available with the Heat/Cool control.

In addition to self-tuning, the CB Series has standard autotuning (AT) so that either function can be selected to achieve optimum process controls.

HEAT/COOL CONTROL  (optional)

The Heat/Cool PIID control features heat and cool outputs for use where process-generated heat exists. This allows the input of overlap or deadband settings, which contribute to energy savings.

HEATER BREAK ALARM (HBA)   (optional)

The HBA detects a fault in the heating or cooling circuit and displays actual amperage on the display on the front panel. If the measured value becomes lower than the preset value, the alarm is activated.

TEMPERATURE ALARMS  (optional)

The CB Series provides a wide selection of alarm types to configure up to two alarm contacts. The alarm Hold action is configured in the controller. The alarm action is suppressed by the Hold function at start-up until the process value has entered the non-alarm range.
