FUSION Series SCR Power Controllers
Control Concepts’ FUSION Series power controller is a modular digital power controller capable of single or three-phase operation with either AC or DC loads. Loads can be controlled by either phase angle, zero-cross, or burst modes for the operation of resistive or transformer-connected loads. Output to the command signal is controlled linearly and can be set to the average or RMS value of the voltage and current, as well as true instantaneous power or external feedback.
FUSION Series power controllers are available in current ratings from 50 – 1200 amps AC or 45 – 1400 amps DC. Auto-ranging voltage circuitry enables mains supply voltage from 24-600 VAC (45-65 Hz), eliminating the need for hardware jumpers or stocking multiple controllers for international voltages. A separate power source supplies the control electronics and maintains critical communications to your control system when the mains are absent.
An integrated display and on-board diagnostics make operation and troubleshooting simple. Limits, set-points, and alarm conditions can be easily viewed and customized.
A plug-and-play USB interface and free FUSION Control Panel software for the PC further simplify the installation and configuration of the controller for your application. OEMs, for example, can duplicate controller settings by simply loading a configuration file saved from a previous unit.
Setpoints can be controlled through the standard analog or optional Fieldbus interface. The factory-configured analog setpoint signal ranges are 0 – 5 Vdc and 4 – 20 mA, both of which are field scalable from 0 – 10 Vdc or 0 – 20 mA.
The Fieldbus interface options include Modbus TCP (Ethernet), PROFINET, or EtherNet/IP. These can be used to communicate with a PLC or factory control system. For multi-zone controllers consisting of 3 or 4 zones, a Fieldbus interface is required.
Parameters can be easily viewed and controlled through the onboard display. For additional convenience, the display can also be remotely mounted on an electrical enclosure door.
