West Control Solutions KS 816 Multi-loop Temp Controller

To stabilize the temperature of spaces like ovens, packing, and heat treatment, multi-loop temperature controllers handle multiple zones at once.

About Multi-loop Temp Controller

Multi-loop controllers typically enable a variety of fieldbus choices behind the panel, making it simple to integrate them with other machine components or a larger plant network. Depending on the requirements of the application, multi-loop systems can be configured to enable the zones to function independently or in tandem. The multi-loop temperature controller has several advantages, such as lower installation costs, better integration, and less machine downtime.

Unlike single-loop controllers, which are frequently positioned on the front panel, multi-loop controllers are typically mounted behind the panel. The multi-loop temperature controller is often programmed and its settings downloaded using proprietary PC software.

A variety of controllers are available from West Control Solutions’ top product brands, including CAL, Partlow, PMA, and West. These offer varying levels of functionality and satisfy a range of distinct control loop requirements. A selection of our most well-liked multi-loop temperature and process controllers are shown in the chart below.

Descriptions of West Control Solutions KS 816 Multi-loop Temp Controller

The microprocessor-controlled KS 816 controller has a bus or field bus interface and offers accurate, reasonably priced multi-loop temperature management. The KS 816 is a field-bus transmitter that may be arbitrarily configured and has universal inputs for Pt 100, thermocouple, and standard signals. The start-up circuit guarantees longer element life and avoids production interruptions, and the instrument offers optional output hold functionality in the event of a sensor failure. Very quick startup times are guaranteed by the self-tuning feature.

The KS 816 is perfectly suited for temperature control processes in the following applications because of its standard features, which include set-point lowering and heating/cooling with four alarms:

• Plastics processing machinery
• Heated moulds
• Packaging machinery
• Tempering units
• Other similar thermal processes
