The Compact Model 7SF is a dual display general
purpose 1/16 DIN PID controller with autotuning and 3 configurable outputs. OP1
(logic or relay) and OP2 (relay) are for heating + alarm or heating + cooling
(air, oil or water) control and OP3 (relay) is an optional second alarm. Alarms
can be process, band or deviation type, direct or reverse, with masking and
automatic or manual reset. A logic input is fitted as standard, allowing remote
selection of an auxiliary setpoint. The externally selected transfer between
SP1 and SP2 can be a step or a ramp with two configurable rates of change (ramp
up/ramp down). Bumpless
Auto/Manual control can be selected from the front panel. Detection of an out
of range or sensor break forces the output to a safe value (Auto Compª
sensor break). The 7SF is available with optically isolated RS-485
communications in three protocols for use with supervisory systems. This easy
to use instrument comes from the factory with its inputs already calibrated and
it can be configured either from the front panel or via the communications
port. NEMA 4X sealing allows it to be used in washdown or dust conditions.
Remote Selection of Auxiliary
Setpoint A logic input may be used to remotely transfer between SP1
and SP2 by step or ramp change.
Heater Breakdown Detection
The 7SF has an option for displaying load current and generating a heater
breakdown alarm when current falls below a specified threshold. With this
option, a current transformer input replaces the standard logic input.
Output Off Function The 7SF
also has an Òoutput offÓ function, allowing the instrument to
disable control and act as an indicator.
