The CN616 Series is a highly
versatile 6-loop microprocessorbased controller designed for
easy front panel or remote setup
and operation. Each of 6 zones is
sequentially scanned, and active
zones are displayed. Individual
zones can be locked for monitoring.
Each instrument is programmable
to meet operator needs for:
thermocouple type, temperature
units; high, low or high/low alarm
configured as latching or
non-latching; and autotune with
manual trim or manual PID setting.
The zone display scan time and
ramp/soak can be set by the
operator. Parameters and setpoints
are retained when power is turned
off. Password protection is provided
to prevent accidental changes to
calibration, PID setting and ramp/
CN616TC1 shown actual size.
soak profile. If power loss occurs,
the controller retains all the latest
parameters and returns to “RUN” mode.
All CN616 controllers have RS232
3-wire serial communications.
The RS232 program is capable of
monitoring up to 10 daisychained units.
Line voltage is 120 Vac or 240 Vac
selectable by external jumper
assembly. Connections are made to
the back of the instrument through
easy-to-use screw terminal plugs.
The CN616 Series implements a
security password to protect settings.
The password can be enabled or
disabled on the front panel and
changed via RS232. Calibration is
performed via the
front panel and is separately
password protected. Higher level
passwords are available.
The instrument is housed in a
1
⁄4 DIN
aluminum box which does not have
to be removed for mounting. The
unit mounts in a 1⁄4 DIN panel cutout
and is secured by slide brackets.
The device is controlled via 6 DC
pulse outputs (1 for each zone).
A single output relay is provided to
indicate an alarm condition on any
zone. The instrument shows an
alarm condition by flashing the main
temperature display while indicating
the zone in alarm with a flashing
zone number display. When set to
non-latching, the alarm automatically
resets when the condition changes.
The alarm must be manually reset in
the latching setting.
The controller functions in 2
modes— “RUN”, the basic operating
mode, and “FUNCTION SELECT”,
the password protected settings
selection and control mode.
