Versatile Temperature SensingThe DTC 200 controller accommodates both thermocouple (J, K, T, R, S) and RTD (Pt100) sensors, allowing for broad application across industrial and laboratory settings. Its autodetect feature simplifies sensor setup, ensuring minimal downtime and easy installation.
Accurate and Fast Temperature ControlWith a measurement range from -50C to 1999C and an accuracy of 0.5% of full scale, the DTC 200 delivers reliable temperature regulation. Its fast sampling rate (4 samples/sec) and PID control mode allow for rapid response and stable performance, making it suitable for sensitive processes.
User-Friendly OperationThe device features dual LED displays (red for PV and green for SV), offering clear visibility of current and set temperatures. Its single setpoint, programmable alarm, and compact design support straightforward integration and operation in a variety of control panels.
FAQ's of Metravi DTC 200 Single Channel Temperature Controller:
Q: How does the Metravi DTC 200 detect and handle different types of sensors?
A: The DTC 200 is equipped with an autodetect feature, allowing users to select between various thermocouple types (J, K, T, R, S) or RTD (Pt100) sensors. This ensures seamless compatibility and easy switching between sensor types without the need for manual recalibration.
Q: What is the main benefit of the PID control mode in this temperature controller?
A: PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control mode enables highly precise temperature regulation by continuously adjusting the control output, minimizing temperature fluctuations and overshoot. This ensures stable operation in critical industrial and laboratory processes.
Q: When should the programmable alarm output be used?
A: The programmable alarm output is ideal for situations where immediate notification of temperature deviations is essential. It can be configured to activate when the process value exceeds or falls below set thresholds, helping operators to react promptly to abnormalities.
Q: Where can the DTC 200 temperature controller be installed?
A: The DTC 200 is designed for panel mounting, utilizing a cutout size of 92 x 92 mm. This allows it to be easily integrated into control panels in industrial automation systems, laboratory equipment, or other process control applications.
Q: What is the process for setting the single setpoint on this controller?
A: To set the single setpoint, users simply use the front-mounted controls to input the desired temperature on the green SV (Set Value) display. The controller will automatically maintain the process value (PV) at or near this setpoint using its PID algorithm.
Q: How does the dual display enhance user experience?
A: The dual 7-segment LED displays (red for process value, green for set value) provide immediate, clear visual feedback, allowing users to quickly monitor both the current temperature and the target setting at a glance, improving usability and reducing the risk of error.
Q: What type of applications benefit most from the DTC 200?
A: Applications requiring precise and reliable temperature control, such as industrial ovens, plastic manufacturing equipment, laboratory automation, and general process automation, are ideal for the DTC 200. Its robust features and versatile sensor compatibility make it especially beneficial in these environments.
