System 450™ is a family of modular, digital electronic controls that is
easily assembled and set up to provide reliable temperature, pressure,
and humidity control for a wide variety of HVAC/R applications,
commercial process applications, and industrial process applications.
The System 450 control system is designed to replace System 350™
and System 27 control systems, and to provide many additional
features and benefits with fewer than twenty model variations.
System 450 control modules provide a field-configurable
out-of-the-box solution. Most System 450 control modules can control
temperature, pressure, and humidity systems simultaneously.
System 450 Control Modules with Communications enable you to
connect System 450 control systems to Modbus® or Ethernet
networks for remote monitoring and setup. The Modbus
communications control module is an RS485, RTU-compliant slave
device. The Ethernet communications control module has an integral
web server that can deliver web pages by means of a direct
connection, on your LAN, or across the Internet.
System 450 Reset Control Modules provide many of the features of the
standard models for temperature and humidity control. In addition,
these modules provide setpoint reset, real-time setback scheduling,
and run-time balancing (equal run time) capability.
The System 450 Control Module with Hybrid Analog Output has a
single self-selecting analog output to optimize and extend the
controlled speed range of variable speed electronically commutated
(EC) motors.

Features
• durable, compact, interchangeable modular components with
plug-together connectors and DIN rail or direct wall mount capability
eliminate field wiring between modules and allow you to quickly and
easily design, assemble, install, and upgrade your control systems.
• versatile, multipurpose, field-configurable control modules and
expansion modules designed for global use allow you to create a
wide variety of application-specific control systems capable of
controlling temperature, pressure, or humidity, or all three
conditions simultaneously, with only a small suite of module
models.
• up to three hard-wired input sensors and up to ten relay or analog
outputs (in any combination) per control system allow you to build
complex custom control systems while reducing your control
system cost to only the cost of the required components.
• control Modules with bright backlit LCDs and four-button touch pad
user interfaces provide quick, clear, visual status of your
System 450 control system inputs and outputs with the touch of a
button and enable you to quickly and easily set up and adjust your
control system.
Code No. LIT-1900549
• multipurpose, all-in-one control modules enable simple
stand-alone, single-module control systems that are temperature,
pressure, and humidity capable out of the box and easy to set up in
the field to replace a wide variety of OEM HVAC/R and process
controls.
• an extensive suite of compatible temperature and humidity sensors,
and pressure transducers allows you to monitor and control a wide
range of HVAC/R and process conditions in a variety of standard
and global units of measurement.
• high input signal selection enables your control system to monitor a
temperature, pressure, or humidity condition with two or three
sensors (of the same type) and control your system outputs based
on the highest condition value sensed by the referenced sensors.
• differential control enables your control system to monitor and
maintain a temperature, pressure, or humidity differential between
two sensor points within a system, process, or space.
The Reset Control modules have additional features:
• adjustable minimum and maximum setpoint temperatures (reset
control modules only) enable compliance with the manufacturer’s
specifications for your controlled HVAC/R and process equipment.
• selectable shutdown-high and shutdown-low temperature settings
(reset control modules only) saves you energy by shutting down
controlled equipment when the ambient temperature either rises or
drops to a point where heating or cooling is no longer required.
• real time clock and adjustable setback temperature (reset control
modules only) save you energy by setting back heating, cooling, or
humidity setpoints during scheduled unoccupied periods (24-hour
day, 7-day week schedule).
• user-defined reset control capability (reset control modules only)
saves you energy in a wide variety of temperature and humidity
reset control applications by adjusting the temperature or humidity
control loop, based on changes in ambient outdoor temperature or
other uncontrolled condition.
The Control Modules with Communications have additional
features:
• Ethernet communication capability through a built-in web server
(Ethernet Control Modules only) allows you to monitor your control
system status and set up or change the parameters by means of
a direct Ethernet cable connection, through a LAN connection, or
over the Internet. The built in web server delivers user-friendly web
pages to client browsers on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smart
device.
• The Web page server on Ethernet communication modules
provides a simple, intuitive web interface for easy remote
monitoring, setup, adjustment and remote monitoring of your
control systems across Ethernet networks.
• RS485, RTU-compliant Modbus® network communication
capability (Modbus control modules only) enables a head-end
RS485 Modbus master controller to read and write control system
status and setup parameters to the System 450 Modbus
communication control module.
• Password protection for local access (Ethernet and Modbus
control modules only) and password protection for remote access
(Ethernet control module only) deters unauthorized changes to the
control system settings, but allows local and remote monitoring of
your control system status.
• Analog output signal limiting features (communication control
modules only) allow you to select the rate and condition range at
which the control updates the analog output signal, potentially
reducing wear on the controlled equipment.
• Binary input with time delay (communication control modules only)
allows you to use an external set of dry contacts and selectable
time delays to control relay outputs.
