In an emergency: Alarm
The heating process is automatically interrupted at temperature over/undershoot, power surge or sensor failure (sensor break). Rapid, unplanned temperature or energy increase, e.g., at a nozzle, can be an indicator of a leak. The system is switched off. To ensure that no data is lost, it is possible to set a back-up via USB storage.
Product variants:
- 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 zones
- From 1st half-year 2021: 40, and 48 zones and cascadable to 96 zones.
- Larger variants are available as custom solution
- Fuses can be accessed from the inside. In another upcoming product variant (1st half-year 2021) the fuses will also be available externally.
- Passive cooling
Further Information and user manual
Uncompromising controllers: RT7000
The RT7000 is the top expansion level of the RT family. From 8 zones to 128 zones, this system can map as wide a range as a multi-zone controller. Two 32-zone controllers can then be expanded to 64-zones via cascading. Larger systems are implemented as customer-specific variants. Operation is via a 7-inch touch display or via our innovative App-based remote control unit.
Particular performance features:
- Particularly fast control with minimal overshoot and thus protection of particularly sensitive heaters, such as in the nozzles.
- Intuitive operation and rapid integration
- Remote control via APP and ELOVISON
Clearly illustrated control surfaces ensure intuitive operation. The user can choose between different display variants: Standard zone illustration, process illustration or graph/PID illustration.
Range of functions:
- PID-control operation with ELOTECH regulation algorithm
- VNC viewer function – the perfect remote-control unit
- Output ratio generation – from control operation (standard), manual operation, output ratio adoption from zone
- Self-optimising of PID parameters
- Soft start
- Temperature reduction "Lower"
- Boost function (temperature increase)
- Ramp function – define rising and falling ramp curves
- Current and performance value display per phase
- System heat sink monitoring
- Heater current monitoring
- Sensor error detection
- Graphical display including PID graph
- Grouping of zones
- Monitoring function
- Automatic sensor/load detection from 2nd half-year 2021
- Loading of parameter sets via USB interface
- Tool menu – selection of pre-set recipes
