Regulus RF / RD

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Regulus RF and RD are advanced PID program controllers designed for precise temperature control in various industrial heating applications such as induction hardening, heating, soldering, annealing, heat shrinking, and melting. They are optimized for use with Sensortherm pyrometers and offer ultra-fast sampling times of 100 µs.
Specifications: The controllers support up to 990 program steps across 26 programs, with automatic detection of up to two pyrometers. They feature multiple I/O options, including 7 digital outputs and 6 digital inputs, and offer adjustable emissivity for each program step. The controllers can be configured via SensorTools software, which allows for easy programming and monitoring.
Control Features: The Regulus controllers provide optimized control processes that enhance productivity, reduce scrap rates, and increase yield. They support both standalone operation and PC-connected operation for direct visual control and data storage. The AutoTune function automatically detects P and I values for optimal control.
Connectivity: The controllers offer versatile connectivity options, including RS232 and RS485 digital interfaces, and support for thermocouple inputs (types K and S). They also feature a Profinet connection for integration with higher-level control systems.
Technical Data: The controllers operate within a temperature range of 0 to 60°C and are housed in either panel mounting (RF) or desktop (RD) configurations. They are CE marked for electromagnetic immunity and offer various display options for program and status information.
Applications: The Regulus controllers are suitable for modernizing existing plants and can be integrated into a wide range of industrial processes. They are particularly effective in applications requiring precise temperature control and rapid response times.
Accessories: Recommended accessories include Sensortherm pyrometers, connection cables, and a Profinet converter for enhanced system integration.

Regulus RF / RD-2

Overview Regulus RF and RD are programmable PID temperature controllers for panel-mounting or as bench model. They are optimized for use with Sensortherm pyrometers. When using two pyrometers (only Regulus RD) a second measuring point can be used for a redundant measurement. Selecting pyrometers with different measuring ranges, these can be combined to an expanded and thus very large total measuring range. Instead of a second pyrometer also a model with additional thermocouple input type K or S can be selected. JJ Pyrometer for Temperature Reading The rapid response time of Sensortherm pyrometers...

Controller Connections The signal transmission of the measured temperature from the pyrometer to the controller can be 4-20 mA analog, or digitally via RS232 or RS485. A 0-10 V or 0-20 mA signal power specification to the generator is selectable. The temperature sensor, controller and generator form a closed circuit that requires only a start / stop signal. The protocol converter PN10-00 allows Profinet connection of up to five Regulus controllers to a higher-level control. All necessary parameters are accessible and programs stored in the controller can be selected and started via the Profinet...
