St. Louis (October 13, 2003) - Watlow's new SERIES SD family of PID temperature controllers boasts affordable pricing, performance and advanced features to suit a wide range of applications in temperature and process control.
These single-channel controllers include a universal sensor input with up to three outputs that can be programmed for heat or cool temperature control, as well as operate as process or deviation alarms. SERIES SD's features also provide for easy inverse scaling in the set-up menu at no extra cost.
Some of the SERIES SD family's advanced features include:
- EIA 485 ModbusTM serial communications;
- INFOSENSETM Sensor Technology improves sensor accuracy by a minimum of 50 percent;
- Infrared remote communications operation allows for easier controller setup, operation and monitoring. Available on all models except the 1/32 DIN size;
- Patented user definable menu system allows the user to select which parameters will appear in the operations menu;
- "Save and Restore" feature allows the user to save their settings or the factory settings. This feature eliminates the need to call the OEM or factory to restore settings.
The SERIES SD controllers are supported by WATVIEWTM, Watlow's Windows®-based HMI (Human Machine Interface) software. The software can be used to set up, monitor and edit the values of controller parameters; monitor and manage alarms; and log and graph process data.
Available in 1/32, 1/16, 1/8 and 1/4 DIN panel mount sizes, the SERIES SD products include UL®, C-UL®, CSA and CE certification and include a NEMA 4X (IP65) seal. The SERIES SD is manufactured by ISO 9001-registered Watlow Controls and is backed by an industry-leading three-year warranty.
