Multizone Temperature Control

The DRR450 Multizone Temperature Controller is a compact and versatile solution designed for precise temperature and current control across multi-zone systems. Engineered to mount directly onto a solid-state relay (SSR) and fit seamlessly onto a heat sink, the DRR450 simplifies installation, reduces wiring costs, and ensures high-quality temperature management in industrial environments.

Key Features:

• Precise Temperature and Current Control: The DRR450 offers high-accuracy temperature control, essential for maintaining consistent production quality in processes such as plastic extrusion, injection molding, and hot runner systems. It also includes a 50 Amp current transformer input for comprehensive monitoring and control.
• Advanced Control Algorithms: The controller supports various control modes, including on-off with hysteresis, proportional (P), proportional-integral (PI), proportional-integral-derivative (PID), and proportional-derivative (PD) control. These can be configured manually or via automatic tuning to suit specific application needs.
• Dual Output Flexibility: In addition to SSR control, the DRR450 provides a second programmable output, which can be used for alarms or heating/cooling PID functions, enhancing its versatility in complex heat treatment systems.
• Compact and Efficient Design: The DRR450 is designed for direct plug-in connection to a mono-phase SSR power module, minimizing installation time and costs. Its compact form factor (22.5mm series ESUC DIN-rail mounting) makes it an ideal choice for space-constrained environments.
• Robust Communication Capabilities: Equipped with RS485 communication and Modbus RTU/Slave protocol, the DRR450 integrates seamlessly into supervisory systems, allowing for remote monitoring and control of multi-zone temperature settings. Parameters can be configured using the LABSOFTVIEW software, ensuring easy setup and customization.
