PMA KS 50-1 PID Temperature Controller WEST Control Solutions, KS 50-1, WEST Control Solutions, West-CS

The universal KS 50-1 temperature controller is intended for precise and cost-effective control tasks. The instrument provides simple 2-point (on/off) control, continuous PID control or 3-point stepping control. The process value signal is connected via a universal input. A supplementary analog input can be used for heating current measurement or as an external set-point input.

The KS 50-1 has three process outputs that can be 3 relays or 2 relays plus a universal output. This universal output can be used for operating a solid-state relay, a continuous current/voltage output or to energize a two-wire transmitter. Optionally there are two additional optocoupler outputs that can be used freely.

The controller is suitable for a number of industry applications including:

• Furnaces and ovens
• Burners and boilers
• Plastics processing
• Hot runners
• Driers
• Climatic chambers
• Heat treatment plants

• Universal continuous/switching version, i.e. reduced stocks
• 100 ms cycle time, i.e. also suitable for fast control loops
• 20ms as shortest pulse for very fast / strong actuators 
• Freely configurable analog output, e.g. as process value output
• Customer-specific linearisation for all sensors
• Settings can be blocked via password and internal switch for high security
• Extended temperature range up to 60 °C allows mounting close to the process
• Easy 2-point or offset measurement correction
• Emergency operation after sensor break by means of the “output hold“ function
• Logical combination of digital outputs, e.g. for general alarm
• Programmer with 10 segments and “end“ signal
• RS 422/485 Modbus RTU interface
• Built-in transmitter power supply
• Splash-water proof front (IP 65)
