Dual Loop Temperature Controller

Product catalog summary

Overview:
The Pro-EC44 is a single or dual loop programmable temperature controller designed for advanced control applications. It features a 1/4 DIN format with dimensions of 96 x 96mm, offering graphical and text display options. The controller supports USB configuration and data access, and includes a programmer with 255 segments shared across up to 64 programs. It also features a datalogger with a real-time clock and supports Modbus RS485 and Modbus TCP Ethernet communications. The Pro-EC44 complies with CE and UL standards.

User Interface and Configuration:
The Pro-EC44 simplifies user operation with an intuitive human-machine interface (HMI) and a fast-access front USB port. The Blue Control software facilitates easy configuration, customization, and commissioning. The controller supports multiple languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. A step-by-step wizard aids in reducing setup time by guiding users through common settings.

Process Information Access:
Key process information is accessible on a single page, with added combo pages to minimize navigation steps. The controller features a color-changing LED backlight to enhance visibility and response times.

Advanced Features:
The Pro-EC44 offers enhanced control capabilities such as cascade, VMD, profiler, and ratio control for burners. It includes key support features like a real-time clock and gain scheduling. Additional features include datalogging, trending, USB, and Ethernet/RS485 connectivity.

Comparison with ProVU4:
The Pro-EC44 introduces a second universal process input, allowing for two independent control loops or a combination of one loop with auxiliary functions. It supports redundant input, ratio control, cascade control, and two separate trend views. Other enhancements include 3-point stepping/VMD, multiple PID sets, gain scheduling, latched alarm outputs, and multi-digital inputs.

Digital Inputs and Connections:
The controller offers options for digital inputs and outputs, including loop control select, auto/manual select, setpoint select, pre-tune and self-tune select, profile run/hold, and data recorder trigger. It supports binary or BCD inputs for profile selection and offers options for additional universal inputs and relay outputs.
