Burkert’s new eControl 8611 is a modular control system designed for seamless integration into multiple closed loop cooling systems. The compact unit cuts equipment costs by providing users with one multi-function controller for flow, pressure and temperature. It integrates PI and cascade temperature control, has multiple input and output possibilities and offers two way communications with PLCs or other controllers.
The flow controller offers a cost effective method to decentralise control in closed cooling loops. It integrates sensor and controller into a single housing and all units provide actuation of process and proportional valves from one consolidated controller, resulting in lower overall equipment and installation costs, and improved product quality. TheeControl integrates proportional/integral and cascaded temperature control, together with dual indication of process values (i.e. temperature and flow).
The eControl 8611 works with pneumatically or electrically driven systems. Its compact design allows uncomplicated installation, as an integral part of the flow sensor, or as a wall, or DIN-rail mounted controller. The unit offers a choice of 4-20mA, external frequency and PT100 (RTD) inputs and the flexibility of four analogue or digital outputs. The controller also interfaces seamlessly with Bürkert’s broad range of sensors and control valves.
