ProSight 48x96mm Universal Process Controller PID Temperature Controller RS485
ProSight 48x96mm Universal Process Controller PID Temperature Controller RS485is a modular industrial process and PID controller designed to measure and control variables such as temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, and vibration. It is suitable for industrial machinery, process equipment, heating systems, pumps, valves, and automated production systems. Key features include programmable universal inputs, 0.2%FS accuracy, automatic PID self-tuning, multiple control and auxiliary outputs, up to four limit alarms, and optional RS485/RS232 Modbus RTU communication.
The ProSight 48x96mm Universal Process Controller PID Temperature Controller RS485 is a 48x96mm universal process controller designed for accurate measurement, display, monitoring, and automatic control of industrial process parameters. Using a modular design and modern SMT technology, the controller is designed to provide low power consumption, high accuracy, flexible configuration, and straightforward operation.
The MCR490 can be used to manage a wide range of process variables, including temperature, humidity, pressure, flow, and vibration. Its universal programmable input allows the controller to work with different types of industrial sensors and transmitters, helping users reduce the need for separate dedicated controllers for different applications.
How Does this Product Work?
The controller receives an input signal from a connected sensor or transmitter. Supported input types include thermocouples (T.C.), RTDs, mA current signals, and VDC voltage signals. For thermocouple applications, the ProSight 48x96mm Universal Process Controller PID Temperature Controller RS485 includes automatic cold-junction compensation.
The measured process value is displayed on the controller's dual 4-digit 7-segment LED display and compared with the programmed target or setpoint. The controller can then regulate the connected equipment using ON/OFF control, automatic PID self-tuning, or manual PID control.
Depending on the selected configuration, control outputs can include relay, SSR, SCR, or 4-20mA. Auxiliary functions can provide 4-20mA retransmission, relay output, or 24VDC transmitter power. The controller can also provide up to four limit alarm outputs through relay alarm outputs, helping operators respond to abnormal process conditions.
For system integration, it supports RS485/RS232 communication with standard Modbus RTU protocol, allowing process data and controller functions to be integrated into compatible industrial monitoring and automation systems. Digital offset and digital filter settings provide additional flexibility for signal adjustment and process monitoring.
