FB400 / FB900

Product catalog summary
Overview: The FB Series is a high-performance process and temperature controller designed for industrial applications. It features advanced PID control, autotuning, and a compact design suitable for space-constrained environments.
Specifications: The controllers are available in 1/8 or 1/4 DIN sizes with a depth of 60mm, allowing for close horizontal mounting of up to six units. They offer IP66 and NEMA4X protection, making them suitable for harsh environments. The controllers support various input types, including thermocouples, RTDs, DC voltage, and DC current.
Control Features: The FB Series includes a Brilliant II PID control algorithm with enhanced autotuning and undershoot suppression. It supports heat, cool, and heat/cool control types, with independent PID settings for each. The controllers offer selectable sampling times (50ms, 100ms, 250ms) to accommodate different application needs.
Communication and Integration: The controllers support ANSI and MODBUS communication protocols and feature a loader port for easy setup and data monitoring via a PC. Up to 32 controllers can be networked for inter-controller communication, enabling precise cascade and ratio control.
Advanced Functions: The FB Series includes a multi-memory area function for storing up to 8 sets of control parameters, a ramp/soak program control with up to 16 segments, and a power feed forward function to stabilize control output against power supply fluctuations.
Safety and Compliance: The controllers are designed with reinforced insulation and lead-free PCBs, complying with EU directives. They consume 30% less power than equivalent models, reducing heat generation and improving energy efficiency.
Display and User Interface: The controllers feature a large, clear 5-digit display and user-friendly key operations, including direct function keys for frequently used operations.
Applications: Suitable for various industrial applications requiring precise temperature and process control, including those with strong cooling gains or requiring fast response times.
Control Methods: The system offers multiple control methods, including PID control with options for direct or reverse action, heat/cool PID control, and position proportioning control. Autotuning and startup tuning features are available to optimize control performance.
Input and Output: The system supports universal inputs for temperature, current, and voltage, with selectable input groups. Outputs include relay contact, voltage pulse, current, and continuous voltage outputs. The document specifies the number of outputs and their configurations.
Alarms and Events: The system includes various alarm functions, such as deviation, process, and MV alarms, with configurable event actions and differential gaps. Alarms can be assigned to digital outputs, and the system supports up to four event outputs.
Communication and Standards: Communication options include RS-485, RS-422A, and RS-232C, with support for RKC standard and MODBUS protocols. The system complies with CE, UL, C-UL, and RCM standards, ensuring reliability and safety.
General Specifications: The system is designed for durability with waterproof and dustproof protection (NEMA4X, IP66) and operates within a specified temperature and humidity range. It features memory backup with non-volatile memory and supports various power supply options.
Additional Features: The document also describes additional features such as digital input for area selection, analog retransmission output, and inter-controller communication capabilities. The system supports multiple memory areas for recipe storage and offers a range of configuration options for different applications.

Temperature uniformity and stability 1 Temperature Uniformity at Ramp-up Auto-temperature-rise with learning function achieves temperature uniformity at ramp-up without partial thermal expansion even when multiple FB Series controllers are connected. Inter-controller communication by COM port 2 is used to send or receive information among controllers. At start-up, the learning function monitors and evaluates a heat-up balance among channels. Then it calculates ramp-up-rate for each channel to make all heaters follow the temperature-rise-curve of a channel with the longest time to reach setpoint....
