Thyro PX Series Datasheet

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Thyro-PX® series by Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. are modular SCR power controllers designed for heating elements, resistive loads, and transformer loads in various industrial applications such as heating, melting, drying, and forming. These controllers are available in 1, 2, and 3-phase configurations and support a wide range of current and voltage ratings.
Specifications: The Thyro-PX series offers control accuracy of ±0.5% for voltage or current and ±1% for power. They support AC input line voltages from 230 to 690 V and current ranges from 16 to 2900 A. Control modes include zero cross firing, phase-angle firing, and voltage sequence control, with features like soft start and soft down.
Communication and Integration: The controllers support multiple communication protocols such as Ethernet/IP®, EtherCAT®, PROFIBUS®, PROFINET®, and Modbus TCP/IP®, allowing for easy integration into existing systems.
Product Highlights: Key features include comprehensive control modes to minimize harmonic distortion, high-efficiency design with integrated soft starting, multi-zone capability, and intuitive feedback via a touch screen display or PC tool. The series is suitable for applications in electric furnaces, heat tracing, extruder heating, and more.
Mechanical Specifications: The Thyro-PX series is available in various models with different dimensions and weights, depending on the current and voltage type. The design may vary with the use of fans or rated current exceeding 350 A.
Environmental and Regulatory Compliance: The controllers operate within ambient temperatures up to 45°C and are certified under CE and UL standards, ensuring compliance with EU and US regulations.
Interface and Options: The series includes programmable status LEDs, RS-232 and USB connections for software tools, and optional Thyro-Touch displays for enhanced user interaction. Additional options include digital and analog interface cards and Anybus digital communication modules.
Ordering Information: The document provides detailed ordering codes for different configurations based on phase type, voltage, current, and additional options like integrated fuses and forced air cooling.
