Omron has introduced a modular, multi-loop temperature controller that can connect directly to a Human Machine Interface (HMI) and to any Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). CelciuX° offers further flexibility in system design with the option of Devicenet, Modbus and Profibus connectivity. As part of Omron’s Smart Platform concept, CelciuX° also has ready-made functional graphic objects that can be directly loaded onto an HMI for easy integration.
A control loop cycle of 250 ms per channel makes CelciuX° highly suitable for all general-purpose applications. In addition, Omron’s unique Gradient temperature Control (GTC) algorithm enables CelciuX° to handle complex 2-dimensional temperature profiles - vital in applications such as glass lamination and coating where process temperature needs to be reached quickly and evenly in order to save time whilst ensuring high quality.
Omron’s 2-PID control algorithm plus fast and reliable auto-tuning algorithms reduce commissioning time for any application where accurate installation and start-up are important. The 2-PID control is factory preset with a default setting, suitable to give fast responses with minimal overshoot for most analogue control applications. This means faster production start up and control stability during production resulting in enhanced quality.
CelciuX° also has smart features that add value in key applications. For instance, in reflow ovens, it provides a cost effective way of controlling multiple loops in many zones. It has wide placement possibilities for distributed control and practical heater alarm functionality, whilst its ability to prevent all outputs being on simultaneously reduces the draw on power at peak periods. In blow-moulding applications, control of over temperature situations is critical. Here, CelciuX° delivers optimal performance by allowing machines to run faster when maximum output is required. Other GTC applications can be found in semiconductors, plastics and ovens.
Multi-loop machine control with HMI Control, overview and data-logging is simplified with CelciuX° in combination with a direct connection to Omron HMIs. Offering reliability, compactness and uncompromising control performance, CelciuX° is ideally suited for basic multi-loop temperature control.
