Omron’s temperature/process controllers manage multiple zones

Schaumburg, IL— Omron Electronics reported Nov. 5 that its new E5AR 1/4-DIN and E5ER 1/8-DIN temperature/process controllers, multi-loop models, allow integrated control of multiple zones or environmental factors, such as temperature, pressure, and humidity. A fast sampling response time of 50 msec gives precise control for quick-changing temperatures in critical applications. This fast sampling response time also allows the controller to manage signals more precisely.

All models have the following selectable inputs: thermocouples, Pt100 RTDs, and analog current or analog voltage. E5R Series controllers display PV, SP, and MV data simultaneously in a three-row backlit LCD display for high visibility. E5AR is available in one-, two- and four-loop models, and E5ER in one- and two-loop models. Two-loop models are preprogrammed for cascade control, which allows easy set-up and programming.

E5R controllers are ideal for applications requiring critical control of quick temperature changes, such as ceramic heaters, as well as in environmental chambers and high-temperature kilns and furnaces. They can also be used for semiconductor production lines and food and beverage sterilization processes.
