Controllers.
Watlow Electric Manufacturing has unveiled its microprocessor-based SCR (Sequence Control Register) See program counter. Power Series controllers, which offer the latest technology in SCRpower control. The controllers can be used for oven and furnace furnace, enclosed space for the burning of fuel. There are many kinds of furnaces, the type depending upon the fuel and the use to which the heat produced within it is put. Most familiar are the furnaces used in the heating of buildings. manufacturing as well as applications in the heat treating industry, including: vacuum furnaces A Vacuum furnace is a type of furnace that can heat materials, typically metals, to very high temperatures and carry out processes such as brazing, sintering and heat treatment with high consistency and low contamination. , aluminum melting, holding furnaces and large autoclaves. Features include: field-configurable phase-angle or zero cross firing for improved application flexibility on site; 50/60 Hz independent operation for usage almost anywhere; snap fitting on a premounted, removable mounting subplate for ease of installation; heater and control diagnostics capabilities to monitor actual heater and control performance and help eliminate initial startup problems; serial communications See serial transmission and serial. utilizing Modbus RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) A device that collects data from data acquisition equipment and sends them to the main system over a wired or wireless network.
