Thermocouple controller

Gecko from ECEFast is a modern plug in controller for ovens, refrigeration systems and furnaces. It will accept all sensors including Pt100, thermocouple and mV, V and mA, but is configured for two wire T/C sensor inputs with type K standard. RTD versions can be supplied on request with M12 connector. The controller has powerful auto tune to set PID parameters and provides excellent control under most situations. The Gecko will ramp to setpoint at a set rate in °C/min and hold for a period set in minutes to 3600 mins. These features can be disabled to allow standard operation. All menu items not required to operate the Gecko can be hidden, so for example, only set point, ramp rate and hold time appear on the menu. RS485 digital communications is available as an option including matching PC software and RS232/RS485 converter. This allows PC data acquisition and display for up to 31 controllers

Features:

• Input: J,K,T thermocouple and RTD (Pt100)
• Fuzzy modified PID heat & cool control – remote set point
• Fast update at 5 times/s with high accuracy 18-bit input and 15 bit output
• RS-485 interface option
• Supports manual control & auto-tune function
