Programmable-logic controllers
Two new controllers have joined the Jazz 2 Series, the JZ20-R16 and JZ20-R10. The controllers feature 48K (virtual) ladder-logic memory and a built-in mini USB programming port.
The controllers can replace “smart relays” for applications such as simple autoclaves, rotating tables, home automation, and other small-to-medium systems.
All Jazz controllers include four autotune PID loops that can be set using the onboard temperature/analog inputs, and the analog or PWM outputs; all onboard transistor outputs can function as PWM outputs. The devices also feature a full-function HMI with a two-line LCD text display that shows up to 60 user-designed screens, and a 16-key keypad.
