Dual solid-state relay squeezes into tight spaces
New from CD Automation is the space saving CD3000S 2x10A solid-state relay/thyristor power controller.
With a 200ms sampling cycle and +/-0.3% full scale, the PXG offers response and accuracy that will provide excellent control in most industrial applications.
Match this with the new PID palette function that allows users to store up to eight different sets of PID terms and you have a very powerful controller, packaged in 1/16, 1/8 or 1/4 DIN size.
The PXG range boasts new features such as motorised valve control for servo control (open loop VMD) or position feedback control (closed loop VMD) ideal for burner control, metal treatment and environmental chambers.

Free software configures power controllers
The new digital family of power controllers from CD Automation come with free PC based configuration software.
New profiling capability comes in the form of the smart ramp-soak feature that provides 16 steps (ramp/dwell) with seven profile patterns.
A guaranteed soak feature ensures the load is kept within a specific temperature range for a specific time period, making the PXG range a very competent performer.
Other features new to the range include true universal input, ramping SV, soft-start, auto manual operation, password protection and alarm flicker function.
The PXG accepts temperature and process inputs and offers two control outputs.
A wealth of low-cost options include RS485 communications, remote set value input, digital input (up to five), digital outputs (up to five), transmitter power supply (1/4 DIN only), programmable alarms and 24V AC/DC supply voltage.
One of the most impressive features is the large LED display - larger than any other on the market in the 1/16 DIN size format, offering unparalleled display quality.
The faceplate, designed for IP66 (NEMA 4X equivalent), is watertight and corrosion-resistant.
In addition to auto-tuning and fuzzy control, it comes with self-tuning - an innovation in the control field.
It automatically retunes the controller under certain conditions, without the need to revert to auto-tuning.
Remote monitoring of up to 31 controllers at a time is possible with the RS485 option that uses the industry-standard Modbus protocol.
A powerful tool for the OEM customer is the configuration program loader option with Windows-based software.
Programs for different applications can be saved to and from the controller.
