MultiTherm™ 2000 Temperature Controller
Overview
MultiTherm™ 2000 Modular Temperature Controller provides a modular architecture based on the MKS Automation Platform for temperature control that can be easily configured for single zone or multi-zone temperature control applications. MultiTherm™ 2000 Controller can be used as a standalone temperature controller or it can be easily integrated with a PLC or control system, with support for standard fieldbus and control networks, such as EtherCAT® or Modbus TCP/IP.
- High Accuracy, high stability sensing supporting TC's and RTD's
- Fast acting, dynamic outputs using phase-fire and zero crossing methods
- Independent PID loops or coordinated loops using Model Based Control (MBC)
- Supports custom control algorithms without disclosure of source code
- Hardware & software-based Safety Interlocks, custom power distribution with protection and heater health monitoring
