With the advent of Celduc's ECOM module, a solid state relay can be fully incorporated into a control loop.
The ECOM module is an optional surface mount module suitable for the 22.5mm slim SU/SUL solid state relays. It provides a serial interface, current monitoring and a PID temperature controller in one.
Key features:
- RS485, Modbus RTU protocol
- Status information on load, open-clamp, short circuit and partial load
- PWM control with adjustable duty cycle and cycle time for the load
- Current measurement with alarm functions via 50A current measuring coil
- Temperature measurement with thermocouple input
- PID-based control including alarm points with auto tune
- Free-to-use LABview user interface
The ECOM modules is the most compact control unit on the market and makes solid state relays smart.
Applications include industrial furnaces and dryers, semiconductor manufacturing machines, soldering machines, etc.
