3204 1/4 DIN PID Controller

with Scrolling Safety Message

The 3204 includes all the features you have come to expect from Eurotherm controllers (advanced PID control, Ramp/Dwell Timer, simple to use software & menus etc), PLUS 15 scrolling configurable alarm, warning and/or information messages which can be activated by any parameter.

Safety Messaging tell operators what is really happening; improving safety and process feedback. The operator is alerted to alarm priority & exact cause. The message can even carry instructions on how to respond. 
Thus not wasting time waiting for a maintenance officer to advise that the problem is non-critical, saving time and increasing productivity!

The 3204 display includes a 7 segment universal meter, for simple visual indication of process status.

The meter can be used to display all standard parameters, such as heat, cool or total power output, process input, signal error, CT Load amps or setpoint. The meter can also be switched off if required.

"So advanced, it's Simple"
The 3204 display is useful for semi-skilled operators or for use in applications where operator process knowledge is limited.

The new 3204 1/4th DIN controller provides a new level of user convenience: A scrolling safety message delivers plain language messages to let operators and engineers alike know exactly what is happening to the process.

A Quick Start Wizard makes configuration simpler than ever. At initial power up the configuration is displayed on the lower display with clear descriptive text providing scrolling help for each setting.

Universal inputs enable the simple selection of any standard thermocouple, 2 or 3 wire Resistance Thermometer or process input. A custom linearization can be installed using the simple PC tool, iTools.

A Load Current Transformer (CT) Input provides the ideal method to monitor load current and provide immediate indication of load conditions using the built-in graphical display. Partial load failure, heater open circuit or thyristor short circuit can each be indicated by clear scrolling operator messages and relay output.

The Operator Interface is fully configurable enabling any parameter to be promoted for immediate operator access on level 1 or password protected level 2. This provides for the simplest solutions right through to sophisticated applications.

The new three color LCD display provides clear indication of process variables. The upper display shows the process measured ＆#118alue while the lower display can be set to display a range of parameters including, setpoint, time remaining and current.

The communications option provides full system integration through the industry standard modbus protocol.

Three outputs can be configured to provide any combination of heating, cooling and alarm.
