Description
The Chromalox 2020 is a sophisticated, powerful controller in an easy-to-use, compact 1/4 DIN package. The Chromalox 2020 features 4 Ramp/Soak Programs, each having 8 intervals. The Programs can be linked to each other, allowing up to 254 repetitions, and looping intervals within a program (up to 10,000 times) facilitating repetitive temperature cycling applications. A total of 10 Event Outputs are possible by configuring alarms 1 and 2 as Event Outputs.

Features

  • Automatic Data Logging provides a printout and/or display of up to 10 different control parameters and variables.
  • The Digital Communications option accommodates RS-232/422/485 serial interfaces and operates using Chromalox's communication protocol and running software on a computer. ChromaSoft™, Chromalox's remote operator interface software, communicates with up to 255 controllers in any combination and gives you simple access to all control parameters. Using ChromaSoft™, the process can be graphically displayed and parameters saved into and retrieved from data files.
  • Remote Ramp/Soak Operation is easily implemented through 8 logic inputs that can be connected to simple pushbuttons or switches:
    • STOP/RESET
    • START/CONT
    • HOLD
    • SELECT PROGRAMS 1, 2, 3 and 4
    • INITIATE REMOTE SETPOINT
    • TRACKING
  • Auto/Manual control for optional manual output adjustment.
  • Heat/Cool (Bimodal), Heat or Cool Control with up to 3 outputs.
  • 6 Levels of Security for preventing unauthorized or accidental access to programming.
  • Field programmable PID or ON/OFF control modes.
  • Process Signal Output—retransmits the process variable to external printer, recorder or device.
  • Auxiliary Remote Setpoint to transmit the setpoint to a remote controller.
  • Remote Setpoint Input to receive program setpoints from an external computer or other device.
  • Separate Pushbuttons for:
    • START
    • STOP
    • HOLD
  • Separate Indicators for:
    • INTERVAL
