Temperature Controller CB Series

CB100 CB700
CB400 CB900
CB500

General Description
The CB Series combines easy-to-use operation with the latest temperature control advances at a competitive price. With powerful new
features such as RKC's new self-tuning for precise automatic control, digital communications for networking, IP66(IP65) for
waterproof/dustproof protection and heater and loop break alarm capabilities to detect system failures, these controllers deliver exceptional
process performance for the most demanding industrial applications.

Features
Bright, easy-to-read LED Displays Self-Tuning Algorithm
Advanced self-tuning
The CB Series offers a new self-tuning feature that is initiated
Digital communications at start-up and when process parameters or conditions change.
Heat/Cool action In these situations, the controller evaluates whether the preset
Heater/Loop break alarms PID parameters should be maintained or replaced by the latest
self-tuning parameters to achieve the best control for the
IP66(65) - Waterproof/dustproof protection process. Self-tuning can be manually turned ON/OFF in the
parameter setting mode. This feature is not available with the
Heat/Cool control.

Bright, Easy-To-Read LED Displays In addition to self-tuning, the CB Series has standard
autotuning (AT) so that either function can be selected to
