   Description

The Watlow Anafaze PPC-2000 is a powerful, multi-loop programmable process control system. It combines easy-to-set up multi-loop process control and programmable logic control in one integrated package. Its modular design enables customers to select a set of hardware and develop a logic control program based on their specific control Iccp and logic application, making it ideal for OEMs.

 

The PPC-2000 controls up to 48 PID loops and monitors up to 16 additional analog channels. It accepts multiple sensor inputs including thermocouples, RTDs, linear dc voltage or current inputs and counters. The base system has

46 discrete I/O for temperature control or programmable logic.

 

Encoder inputs and analog outputs are available for motor control and other applications requiring pulse feedback and/or analog output control. Two serial communication ports are standard to enable monitor and control by a host computer and/or touch panel using ModbusTM RTU protocol. The PPC is supported by ANAWIN~, the powerful controller configuration and HMI software from Watlow Anafaze.

  Features

 48 Channels of PID Control
Precisely control a large number of temperature zones and process loops with a single controller. Choose heat, cool or heat/cool for any zone.

Scalable Hardware Platform
Size the controller to fit your application. Minimize unused I/O.

Autotuning
Rely on built-in firmware functions to optimize PID settings on any combination of loops.

High-Density Mixed-Type Analog Inputs
Lower your costs by measuring different types of thermocouple and analog signals with one module. Measure up to 32 analog inputs from the same module.

High-Density Flexible I/O
Efficiently utilize panel space. Change a digital input to an output or vice versa without adding hardware.

2 Built-In Communications Ports
Monitor and change controller settings from two separate hosts. Take advantage of a wide variety of Modbus RTU products to design or purchase your own interface.

DZC Heater Control
Reduce maintenance costs by extending heater life.
