1-1 Features
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.
