Profile

Microprocessor controller in 48x96 / 96x96mm format (1/8 DIN -1/4 DIN).
Manufactured using SMT, the 3400 provides a complete operator interface with IP54 level of protection (IP65 with faceplate cover).
The faceplate has a membrane keypad with 6 keys, a backlit LCD display that is available also with large dimensions (model 4400) that displays the process variable, setpoint, bargraphs of the percentage output power and the deviation and indication of the alarm and controller states. The main input for the control variable is universal and gives the possibility to connect a wide range of sensors such as thermocouples, resistance thermometers or mV signals even with custom linearisation.
A second auxiliary analogue input is available for remote setpoint linear signal, potentiometer valve position feedback or input from a current transformer.
With a digital input it is possible to select between two preset setpoints or switch between local and remote setpoint.
With three isolated digital inputs, it is possible to select one of four setpoint programmes or supply a start, stop and reset signal, or select local/remote, auto/manual or hold.
The instrument has up to four outputs, each one factory configured, according to the order code, as relay, isolated logic, isolated analogue or interface for MD81 expansion unit output.
The output functions are configurable from the faceplate.
Apart from the control outputs, that can be heat-cool with independent PID, and the alarm outputs, outputs can be dedicated to the open/close control of a motorised valve (with or without position feedback potentiometer), retransmission signal of the measured variable, the setpoint, the deviation or the control of the MD8 expansion unit for an extra 8 alarms.
The 3400/4400 series controllers can be used as setpoint programmers with up to 8 segments (4 ramps and 4 holds).
Other control functions are also available such as ratio control between two variables and cascade control with specific and configurable parameters.
The serial communication option can be for Current Loop, RS232 or RS485 and it is possible to read and write any of the instrument's parameters.
The programming procedure is simplified by the menu guide structure with different configuration levels for a rapid and easy access to the data.

Solution

Chemical-Pharmaceutical

GEFRAN offers a wide range of sensors, indicators and controllers for the chemical pharmaceutical industry, suitable for processes that demand reliability, precision, diagnostics and data transmission to supervisory units.
There are many complete solutions for temperature control, with configurable acquisition inputs and outputs for electric heaters, fans, inverters, proportional or servo-controlled valves. Parameter recipes can be managed digital communication with PLCs and other control units. Heat profiles can also be run.
The wide range of products also includes controllers and programmers with advanced functions such as cascade and ratio controls.
The components are also ideal for plant expansion and maintenance, thanks to their great versatility in terms of possible installations, materials used for sensing elements, measurement ranges, resolution and sampling speed, types of output signals, digital communication and protocols.
