Watlow has manufactured solid state power controllers for over forty years. Watlow's POWER SERIES™ is a microprocessor-based product that features application flexibility unmatched by any other silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) power and solid state controller on the market today.

Watlow's POWER SERIES solid state controllers include single- and three-phase models from 65 to 250 amperes. Field configurable phase-angle or zero-cross firing improves application flexibility on-site where needed.

50/60Hz independent operation allows utilization almost everywhere in the world without special calibration considerations. Serial communication via Modbus® RTU allows setup and monitoring of load status from a computer station or control room.

On-board semiconductor fusing improves reliability by protecting the SCRs from heater short circuits. Plus, on-board heater bakeout and control diagnostics can help eliminate initial start up problems. All these benefits are in a touch-safe package that can be quickly and easily mounted in a control cabinet.

Watlow's POWER SERIES solid state controllers are UL® listed and C-UL® recognized, ensuring that they meet world safety and operational standards.

Watlow DIN-A-MITE® B SCR Power Controller

Watlow SCR Din-A-Mite Type B Power Controller

from Anderson-Bolds

For a Watlow Din-A-Mite Quote, Click HERE!

Watlow solid state power switching devices complement the rapid switching required by PID temperature controllers and help deliver optimum system performance and service life. They are available in 1-phase and 3-phase/2-leg and 3-leg configurations, feature touch-safe terminations, input indicators, zero-cross, random or phase-angle fire options, ratings from 18 to 1,000 amperes and agency approvals including CE and UL® 508. Various configurations offer short circuit current ratings (SCCR) of 200,000 amperes, extensive system and heater diagnostic capabilities, heater bake out, integrated heat sinks, on-board fuses, RoHS compliance and serial communications.

The Watlow DIN-A-MITE® B is a low-cost, highly compact and versatile solid state electric heat controller. The DIN-A-MITE B capabilities include single-phase and three-phase zero-cross switching up to 40 and 22 amperes, respectively at 600VAC (see rating curve). This electric heat controller's design includes proper heat sinking and terminations simplifying integration into applications. DIN-rail and back panel mounting is standard on this electric heat controller. The Watlow DIN-A-MITE controller is also mercury free.

Variable time base, 4-20mA process control or VAC/VDC input contactor versions are available. A shorted silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) alarm option is also available. All configurations are model number dependent and factory selectable. This power controller also includes 200KA short circuit current rating (SCCR) tested up to480VAC to prevent arch flash with required fusing.

Features include single-phase and three-phase zero cross switching up to 40 and 22 amperes, respectively, at 600VAC (see rating curve). A unique, integrated design removes the guesswork associated with selecting a proper heat sink and adequate terminations for the application.

ASPYRE^® provides increased thermal performance

 The ASPYRE^® family of smart power controllers monitors voltage in real time compared to other systems that simply monitor temperature. That means when a single heater or loop fails in a system, the ASPYRE will know it and automatically adjust power to keep the temperature constant as well as diagnose the problem and alert operators for maintenance.

To illustrate the difference between open and power feedback, we will compare two very similar systems.

                  Two 750-watt cartridge heaters

                  A 50-watt light bulb

                  120 VAC

                  F4T temperature controller - 250 degrees Fahrenheit setpoint - Thermocouple Type J input - PID    P=35, I=215, D=35 - Data log interval at 5 seconds

                  ASPYRE DT power controller

One system will use open feedback and the other will use power feedback. The difference is evident when each system loses one of two heaters

One system will use open feedback and the other will use power feedback. The difference is evident when each system loses one of two heaters.

In this traditional closed-loop system, the heaters are controlled with a simple on-off command. The power controllers are programmed to blindly turn on-off when given this command signal from the temperature controller using only temperature monitoring. When a single loop or heater fails, the temperature must drop multiple degrees for the problem to be detected by the sensors. Then the still functioning heater must operate longer to compensate for the failure before hitting the set point. There is often a time lag in both the temperature drop, and for the correction to take place. This lag time of both detection and recovery keeps the system out of the desired parameter for a painful period of time. Also, standard controllers will not diagnose the issue and alert operators.

This system acts more reactively. And if temperature precision is key for the thermal application, it cannot be reliably met. The system only reacts to a temperature disturbance, and by then it can be too late. The graph below shows the variance in temperature and how long it drops out of the parameters for the application as the system reacts to the heater outage.

In a closed-loop system with an ASPYRE smart power controller, the system can be setup up similarly with a set point temperature. However, the power controller does not rely solely on temperature sensors to maintain thermal performance, it uses closed-loop power feedback in the system. That means when a loop or individual heater goes down, the ASPYRE knows immediately and can adjust the energy being delivered to the remaining heater to maintain a constant temperature the entire time. Fine-tuned precision is achievable consistently and reliably.

The ASPYRE is a proactive controller that recognizes issues as they happen and automatically adjusts to compensate. Plus, the ASPYRE’s diagnostics capability ensures that malfunctioning components in the system are immediately identified for service. The graph below demonstrates how ASPYRE maintains a nearly constant temperature even with a load malfunction.

The ASPYRE family of power controllers is a game changer. It monitors power in a thermal system real time, provides proactive thermal control while also assisting with troubleshooting by intelligently providing diagnostics to aid with maintaining production quality, ideal system performance and reducing costly downtime. By not relying solely on temperature change, ASPYRE provides unmatched thermal precision.
