Master Controller v3+
The Master Controller V3+ is a multifunction industrial control unit, designed for automatic management of programmable heating processes.
Key Points
Programming and management of up to two independent heating stations, consisting of: CEIA Power Cube Generator; CEIA SH/SLE series non-contact temperature sensor or external thermocouples; automatic solder dispenser; antioxidant gas diffuser
High-definition graphic display
Internal memory and removable SDC Card containing up to 100 work programs
Multiple interface Capability including: Industrial current/voltage I/O; Field Bus; RS-232; up to 22 input and 22 output
Validation and Reporting of each heating cycle for Production Quality Control and Certification
“STATUS” key for immediate reading of main Generator working parameters
“QUICK ACCESS” key for fast programming of user defined parameters
For more than 30 years CEIA has been manufacturing Generators and Control units for induction heating processes characterized by very high efficiency and minimum operating costs. CEIA’s unique technological solutions allow the manufacturing of power equipment with compact size, extremely high-energy efficiency and long-term reliability.
Thanks to the experience achieved in the field, and to the continuous R&D activities, CEIA is now proud to introduce the Master Controller V3+.
The Standard Controller version comes with a set of predefined programs. All operating parameters for each phase of the heating cycle can be programmed within a wide range of values.
This allows maximum flexibility in setting the heating and cooling times, the power supplied by the induction generators, the operating temperatures for the piece being worked on and the quantity and feed speed of the soldering wire.
A wide range of digital and analog I/O signals, a fieldbus and an RS-232 serial interface allow connection to PLC, PC or external logic for remote loading and running of preset and user-defined heating programs.
The isolated inputs have programmable P/N logic, while the isolated outputs use a programmable auxiliary voltage of 12/24 V.
