ATOM Three-Phase SCR Power Controllers
Control Concepts’ ATOM is an ultra-compact, low-cost microprocessor-based power controller to assist with the control of AC loads.
Resistive or transformer-connected loads can be controlled in Zero Cross, Fast Zero Cross, or SSR Random Relay firing modes. Output is controlled linearly with respect to the command setpoint and can be set to command the RMS value of the voltage or current.
ATOM Power Controllers are available in current ratings from 16 to 80A. Auto-ranging voltage circuitry enables main line voltage from 24 – 600 Vac (45 – 65 Hz), eliminating the need for hardware jumpers or stocking multiple controllers for international voltages. A separate 24 Vdc power source supplies the control electronics and maintains critical communications to your control system when the mains are absent on digital units.
Status LEDs make operation and troubleshooting simple. A plug-n-play USB interface and free Control Panel app for your Windows PC or Android device further simplify installing and configuring the controller to its designated application. For multiple controllers, controller settings can be duplicated by simply loading a configuration file saved from a previous unit.
Depending on the ATOM model, setpoints can be controlled through either the analog or digital fieldbus interface. The factory-configured analog setpoint signal range is 0 – 5 Vdc,setpoints are field scalable from 0 – 10 Vdc or 0 – 20 mA
