The CN2300 Series 1/4 DIN profile controller with graphic/text LCD display and USB interface is an affordable temperature and process controller with advanced functionality including datalogging options. Designed to improve user efficiency many features are integrated to reduce commissioning time, simplify operation and minimize maintenance downtime.
Features include graphic easy to read backlit LCD display, dual color screen (green/red), multi-language option, custom splash-screen on startup (bitmap file), alarm status view, on screen trend view, LEDs to indicate heat, cool, autotuning and alarm.
Easy setup wizard (via front keys) for quick configuration of inputs, alarms, outputs, communications and real-time clock. Universal input for thermocouple, RTD’s and linear DC process signals (mA, mV or V). Flexible modular output options include mechanical relay, dc Pulse, AC SSR triac and linear outputs. Select to precisely match the process, digital input (2 max) for setpoint selection, profile control, datalogging start/stop, control output enable/disable or auto/manual control. The CN2300 series features configurable menus (using optional software with cable for configurating units via RJ11 configuration socket), USB port for local upload/download of configuration files and download logged data to or from a USB memory stick. This allows easy configuration of multiple instruments by copying from one unit to another.
Profile feature includes 255 segments to allocate freely in up to 64 programs. Programs include ramp, soak, hold, loop or jump to other profile. User defined text profile name, delayed or real-time day/time profile start, and up to 5 event outputs.
The CN2300 datalogging models include historic process data for analysis or reporting, and export data files via front USB or optional communications, and will log process values, setpoints or alarms (including minimum, maximum and average), with logging intervals from 1s to 30m. Many options include analog remote setpoint, built in 24 Vdc transmitter power supply, and graphical software.
