The PXR3 is Fuji Electrics powerful self-tuning 1/32 DIN Temperature/Process Controller with low-cost communications option. The new PXR3 1/32 DIN Temperature/Process Controller is packed with features, to meet a wide variety of needs in the process control industry. Low-cost options include RS485 communications, analog retransmission, digital input, timer function, dual outputs, programmable alarms, and 24 VAC/DC power supply.
One of the most impressive features is the large LED display larger than most other 1/32 DIN controllers on the market. The faceplate, designed for NEMA 4X (IP66 equivalent), is watertight and corrosion-resistant. The easy-to-use 3-button keypad allows for programming similar to the popular PXR4/PXW controller.
The controller has all the standard features that were available in the PXV3 controller, and more. In addition to auto-tuning and fuzzy control, it now comes with self-tuning an innovation in the control field. It automatically retunes the controller under certain conditions, without the need to revert to auto-tuning. The standard 8-segment ramp/soak feature has been expanded to include two patterns that can be linked to create a 16-step profile. The PXR3 accepts temperature and process inputs, and offers two control outputs and two programmable alarms.
Remote monitoring of up to 31 controllers at a time is possible with the RS485 option that uses the industry-standard Modbus protocol. Comes with free Windows®-based software, PXR-LITE.
