KS 800 Rail Mounted Multi-Zone Temperature Controller WEST Control Solutions, KS 800, KS 816, WEST Control Solutions, West-CS

The KS 800 multi-loop controller has been designed to handle up to 8 zones simultaneously. The instrument can be configured as a signal device, 2-point controller, 3-point controller, cascade controller or stepping motor controller. In the 2-point and 3-point configurations it can also be set up as a continuous and split-range controller. 

The KS 800 provides advanced functionality such as setpoint reduction and heating/cooling with 4 alarms. This makes it ideal for use in the following industrial applications: 

• plastic packaging and machinery
• textile machinery 
• packaging techniques
• semiconductor
• dryers

The microprocessor-controlled KS 816 controller provides precise, low-cost multi-loop control of temperature and features an interface for bus or field-bus.

The KS 816 can be used as a freely configurable field-bus transmitter with universal inputs for standard signals, thermocouples and Pt 100 signals. The instrument provides optional functionality for output hold in case of sensor break and the start-up circuit ensures increased element life and prevent interruptions during production. The self-tuning feature guarantees very short start-up times.

Standard functions such as set-point lowering and heating/cooling with four alarms make the KS 816 ideally suited for temperature control process in the following applications:

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