The DCP301 is a general-purpose single-loop program controller for controlling temperature, pressure, flow rate and other inputs.

High accuracy achieved by multi-range input

Multi-range input allows you to choose between the following input types: thermocouple, resistance temperature detector (RTD), dc voltage and dc current. Accuracy of ± 0.1%FS± 1 digit and a sampling cycle of 0.1s ensures consistently high-precision control.

Wide range of control output types

A wide range of models supporting various control output types are available: relay time- proportional output, position-proportional output, current output, voltage time-propor- tional output, and heat/cool output.

On models other than heat-cool control output, you can also choose neural net-based auto-tuning and smart-tuning for inhibiting overshoot, in addition 2 degrees of freedom PID.

Enhanced compatibility with PLC

12 external switch inputs (eight optional), three event outputs and five time event outputs (optional) ensure compatibility with automating systems designed around a PLC core.

Easy operation

Up to eight frequently changed parameter setups can be registered to the PARA key, facili- tating recall of item setups.

If the Smart Loader Package (sold separately) is used together with the DCP301, pro- grams and parameters can be set up on a personal computer.
