standards for controllers such as the first
48mm x 48mm (
followed by the first digital controller of the
same size and then the first 24mm x 48mm
1
(
/32NDDIN) controller.
CAL’s range of easy-to-use controllers are
complemented by a suite of software

The CAL 9500P programmable process
controller
The CAL 9500P is a versatile programmable controller
for temperature and process control applications. It is
designed to offer the highest functionality in a 48mm
x 48mm (1/16
TH
DIN) package.
The 9500P can be factory configured in a range of
process control or temperature control options
making the controller dedicated to the application,
ideal for both OEM and manufacturing process
applications.
This combination of programmable ramp/soak profiles,
process control inputs and 3 outputs, together with
RS232 or RS485 comms makes the CAL 9500P a
unique and affordable package.

CAL has made the task of scaling inputs very simple:
example: 4-20mA = 60–260 units, where 4mA = 60 units
note: 4-20mA corresponds to an input range of 10-50mV
Step 1, enter scale max’ = 260,
Step 2, enter scale min’ = 60,
Step 3, enter input max’ = 50 (i.e. 50mV = 20mA)
Step 4, enter input min’ = 10 (i.e. 10mV = 4mA).

CALopc – OPC server
The CALopc server is a MODBUS RTU software product
designed for integration into OPC client/server
applications such as SCADA.
CALopc includes pre-configured templates for all CAL
controllers, together with controller bitmaps and the
7-segment LED true type font.
Using this OPC server allows ‘tags’ to be added to all
controller functions and built into the SCADA
application enabling the display and changing of any
parameters in a custom configured application for
complete process monitoring and control.
CALpoll – tools for custom software
engineers
CALpoll is a free of charge software product
available from www.cal-controls.com It includes an
example program and source code in Visual C++.
It is ideal for use by software engineers who wish to
create custom applications that need to
communicate with CAL controllers via the MODBUS
RTU protocol.
The source code includes routines for
communicating via MODBUS saving the software
engineer significant development time. The example
program also doubles as an ideal diagnostic tool for
proving that the communications hardware is set up
correctly.

Technical Specifications
Typical Application
In this example the load temperature is monitored by a
temperature transducer/transmitter which provides a
4–20mA input signal to the controller. The 4–20mA output
has been allocated to SP1 to drive an SCR power
controller providing a phase angle controlled output to
the heater.
