SERIES CPC400 Controller Now with TRU-TUNE+TM Adaptive Control
Multi-Loop CPC400 Controller with TRU-TUNE+ Adaptive Control and Programmable LogicCompact Process Controller, Integrating Closed-Loop and Programmable Control

The Watlow SERIES CPC400 controllers provide performance and flexibility in a compact design and integrate full-featured, closed-loop control with user-written logic. Programmable logic can interact with closed-loop control and operate I/O independently. Four and eight-loop versions offer complete control solutions for a broad range of applications. Each controller includes Watlow's TRU-TUNE+TM adaptive control algorithm and built-in serial communications. The SERIES CPC400 controllers are UL® and C-UL® listed and carry the CE mark.

Features Benefits
  • TRU-TUNE+TM Adaptive Control Algorithm
  • Tunes loops, automatically, minimizing setup time and effort
  • Fine tunes loops more precisely than typical auto-tune features, ensuring optimum performance
  • Provides stable control through set point and load changes reducing scrap and rework even when conditions vary
  • Flexible, Easy-to-Use Interfaces
  • Guide users through setup with full-text menus and prompts
  • Save time with context-sensitive, on-screen help
  • Integrate with other serial devices using ModbusTM
  • Connect to system components via analog I/O to retransmit process variables and read set points
  • Provide two-line, full-text display saving money and setup time
  • Minimize setup time with WATVIEW software
  • Integrated Loop Control and Programmable Logic
  • Integrates PID control and logic simply
  • Saves time over reinventing PID control in logic
  • Allows user-customization of the controller
  • Reduces installation and setup time

  • User-Adjustable, Overshoot Reduction
  • Provides ability to customize the balance between time-to set point and overshoot with one, easy-to-use adjustment
  • Cascade Control
  • Improves control in systems with excessive thermal lag
  • Ratio and Differential Control
  • Enhance control where the relationship between two or more loops is paramount
  • Flexible, Robust and Intelligent I/O
  • Supports thermocouples, RTDs, linear voltage and current with isolated inputs
  • Automatically detects sensor failures including open, shorted and reversed conditions
  • Offers analog and digital inputs and digital outputs for closed-loop control, alarms and user's logic programs
  • Includes frequency and counter input for closed-loop control or logic programs
