Replace your Barber-Colman 560 or 570 Controller

Barber-Colman makes it easy for you to upgrade your system by replacing your aging model 560 or 570 controller. The new model 3504 easily replaces the 560 and 570 programmer. Check out the part number cross over tool below for a 560 to 3504 part number conversion program.

We understand what it takes to replace one controller with another. That's why we supply you with the following tools and functionality.

Upgrading takes just 3 easy steps:

1. Locate the existing Barber-Colman 560 or 570 controller.

The exact part number is on the side of the instrument case and another copy of the part number is on the top lip of the controller if you have already removed it from the case. Inspect the rear terminal wiring of the Barber-Colman 560. It probably has:

• 3 incoming power wires

• 2 thermocouple wires

• output wires that go to a motorized valve OR to a OR to a heat contactor

• maybe output wires that go to an alarm light

• maybe a few extra wires    

2. Mount

You can mount the 3504 controller in a new hole or make a cover plate that converts the larger 6 inch by 6 inch cut out to the newer 1/4 DIN cutout. Please refer to the 3504 engineering manual for dimension specifications. Then, if you follow our easy to use wiring diagrams located in the 3504 engineering manual, reconnect your existing wires and you have a permanent installation.

If you are using the 560 digital interface, we can supply the traditional 560 or 570 protocol. Just reconnect the wires to the new 3504, set the address and baud rate and watch the communications take off. The 3504 can have a plug-in board installed (either now or later) that permits it to communicate using Modbus RTU. A factory developed Modbus RTU OPC server is available for OPC interfaces to visualization software.

3. Enter your current Barber-Colman 560 product code

From the drop-down list boxes select the options from your current Barber-Colman 560. The number in parenthesis is the field number code. When done, press the Convert button to see the compatible Eurotherm 3500 product code and generate a request for quotation.

Only the Control Mode, Output 1, Output 2, Dual Output Option, Setpoint and Alarm codes are used in the conversion routine. Entries for Input range, Displays, Deviation Bar Calibration and Housings are ignored as these options are not applicable to the 3500.
