West Control Solutions eCAL- a new 1/16 DIN (48mm x 48mm) compact temperature controller

Back in feb 2010, West Control Solutions announced the enhancement of its CAL Controls brand temperature controller portfolio by introducing eCAL, a compact, cost-effective temperature and process controller with extended capabilities.

These products are nationally distributed in Australia by ACE and are mainly used by customers in the Mining, Waters and OEM industries.

The new 1/16 DIN controller is easy to install and useful to retrofit, it is ideal for stand-alone scientific and industrial process equipment.

The new eCAL controller shows its strength as a cost-effective and compact solution with improved aesthetic design, a reduced behind panel depth of 70mm and capability expected from higher end products. This includes a universal input for all sensor types allowing flexible utilisation, up to 3 outputs (including relay, SSR driver, linear DC and RS485 options), full PID control and a user interface with easy to read LED display consisting of 4 digits upper and lower, 4 button membrane keypad including a function button with userdefined operation and 3 output status LEDs.

A programmer function has the capability of running 2 profiles of up to 16 segments incorporating delay timer, auto holdback for guaranteed dwell and easy control via the controller’s function button providing easy implementation of temperature profile control. Furthermore, alarms and diagnostics help to prevent problems before they happen: relay life, ambient warnings and absolute or deviation limit alarms allow preventative maintenance actions to be taken instead of needing emergency replacements when a controller fails.Are you interested in a WEST product?
