Multi-Zone PID Controller and Data Acquisition Solution

By Design World Staff | July 31, 2008

YORK, PA‚—Red Lion Controls, Inc. announces that its Modular Controller series PID modules now support ramp/soak control. The Modular Controller provides multi-zone PID control, data acquisition and I/O for PC, DCS or PLC control systems, while integrating data logging and advanced alarm management. Now, with the latest update to Red Lion‚’s simple-to-use Crimson‚® 2.0 programming software, users can integrate multi-segment temperature profiling for complex processes in the autoclave, heat-treating, food and chemical industries.

The ramp/soak functionality consists of a profile, or succession of setpoint ramp and soak periods. The profile can support up to 30 segments, with each segment defined by a setpoint and a time, allowing users to set a temperature range and period of time in which the range will be maintained. The Modular Controller‚’s dedicated single and dual PID modules each manage ramp/soak control individually, maintaining independence for each loop and allowing hot-swappable replacement for reduced downtime. Plus, advanced modes are available for critical control requirements, such as guaranteed soak times and ramp rates.


The Modular Controller features an advanced, built-in protocol conversion facility and multiple-protocol Ethernet port that allows even the most complex PID, data-acquisition or I/O systems to be configured‚—simply and in just minutes. Plus, the Modular Controller utilizes Red Lion‚’s free Crimson 2.0 software for communication configuration and calibration of new systems.
