Temperature Control Trainer | Prozessi PX 14
The Temperature Control Trainer, Prozessi PX 14, is a tabletop setup for studying temperature control principles. It includes a heating tank with SSR controlled heater, RTD temperature sensor, rotameter, and a digital indicating controller with Ethernet communication. The Temperature Control Trainer supports ON-OFF, PID, and auto tuning studies along with SCADA based monitoring. All components are mounted on a compact support frame for tabletop use.
The Temperature Control Trainer, Prozessi PX 14, is designed for understanding basic temperature control principles through a complete process setup. This Temperature Control Trainer allows students to study open loop and closed loop control, tuning methods, and SCADA based monitoring.
Product Overview
The Temperature Control Trainer, Prozessi PX 14, consists of a heating tank fitted with an SSR controlled heater for online heating of water. The flow of water can be manipulated and measured by a rotameter. A temperature sensor, RTD type, is used for temperature sensing. The process parameter, temperature, is controlled by a microprocessor based digital indicating controller which manipulates heat input to the process. These units, along with the necessary piping and fittings, are mounted on a support frame designed for tabletop mounting. The controller can be connected to a computer through an Ethernet port for monitoring the process in SCADA mode.
