Product Description

Communications

Modbus RTU/RS485 communications are outfitted by default, but with PLC’s and integrated networks being commonplace, the CFW can host a number of additional fieldbus communications including Modbus TCP, Profibus, ProfiNet, Ethernet IP, DeviceNet, EtherCat, and CANopen. Each of these fieldbus cards can be installed at time of order or outfitted at a later date. This makes it extremely easy to adapt the CFW to any host network.

Complete Process Control Package

In addition to the integration of PID control and power control, the CFW offers a full suite of diagnostic and monitoring capabilities to make this the most versatile controller Chromalox has to offer. Full thermal and electrical monitoring allows users to anticipate failures and malfunctions so corrective steps can be taken in a timely manner.

With each zone outfitted with an independent current transformer, full diagnostics can be performed from loop break alarm, heater break, SSR short circuit, input opening or short circuit, and even over temperature alarm.
