smaller than actual size.
The CYC320 Series cryogenic temperature
controllers offer a simple, low cost answer to basic
low temperature control needs. They incorporate a
scroll type entry so that setup can easily be
accomplished from the front keypad. Three models
are available to accommodate either silicone diode,
RTD or thermocouple input. The operator can also
enter a user-defined curve, for a custom sensor. This
curve can have up to 97 points plus two end points.
The curve values are entered over the standard
RS232 interface.
A cryogenic system is a complex arrangement of
thermal resistances and heat capacities which are
represented by thermal mass and time constants.
The CYC320 Series analyzes this system’s operating
parameters on-line. The autotune feature increases
the user’s efficiency by automatically calculating the
correct proportional (gain), integral (reset) and
derivative (rate) control parameters within minutes.
Once set, the PID values are only modified when the
system characteristics change. Time spent adjusting or
fine-tuning the controller is eliminated, leaving the user
with more time to experiment with something other
than controller settings! Heater output of the CYC230
Series is a variable dc current for quiet, stable control.
