Dual solid-state relay squeezes into tight spaces
New from CD Automation is the space saving CD3000S 2x10A solid-state relay/thyristor power controller.
The CD-KP is compatible with any thyristor from the company's extensive range of one-, two- or three-phase control units that has an RS485 communications port.
The CD-KP acts as an interface communicating with up to 10 individual thyristors, either locally via the keypad or remotely with a PC using RS232.
The CD-KP has a dual four-digit display that will indicate the real-time values of current, voltage or power at the users discretion.
There is a third single-digit display that indicates the address number of the thyristor being referenced.
Using the free PC based configuration software, the user has the possibility to view all parameters within the thyristor to help identify any potential problems within the control system.
Immediate notification is also made on the display in the event of a heater break or SCR short circuit alarm.
Being able to connect a PC directly to the front of the display means it is possible to reconfigure up to 10 individual thyristors by using the downloadable PC configuration software.
This reduces installation time and makes small process changes simple.
