Watlow F4T process controller with touchscreen

Watlow has released the F4T with INTUITION temperature process controller. The controller features a 4.3″, capacitive colour touch panel with high resolution and a graphical user interface. It provides intuitive navigation and screen personalisation allowing channels, alarms, inputs and outputs to be programmed with user-defined specifications.

The controller is scalable and offers a range of field-removable input/output modules, allowing the unit to be configured into multiple applications while integrating with the required hardware.

The device combines temperature PID, over/undertemperature limit, power switching, math, logic, timers and counters into one integrated system, thereby lowering ownership costs, reducing design complexity and saving wiring time and panel space.

The COMPOSER software, which connects with the controller via Ethernet, speeds up and simplifies commissioning and archives and documents controller set-up.

Other features include agency certifications such as UL, FM, CE, RoHS, W.E.E.E. and NEMA 4X/IP65 and other communications options including Ethernet Modbus TCP and SCPI and EIA 232/485 Modbus RTU.
