West 6400 Tempcon Instrumentation

1/16 DIN Profiler Controller
The 6400 is one of the most powerful profilers of its size available. It
features our proven RaPID fuzzy logic control algorithm, for faster, more
accurate control. 4 programs can be held in memory.

• Free-form programming • Event/profile active outputs

• Delayed start • Remote Start
• Guaranteed soak • Modbus comms
• Power fail recovery • PC support software

Technical Data
Features
Control Types PID with Pre-tune and RaPID fuzzy logic, or Manual Tuning. Heat or Heat/Cool, applications
Auto/Manual Selectable from front panel, with bumpless transfer
Output Configuration Up to 3 total. Max 2 for control (Heat & Cool), max 2 for Alarms, max 1 for retransmit PV or SP
Alarm 1 & 2 Types Process high, process low, setpoint deviation and band
Human Interface 4 buttons, 10mm & 8mm high LED’s, plus run-hold, tune, event & profile/control status LED’s
PC Configuration Off-line configuration & profile editing via config socket (comms option not required)
Profiles
Number of Programs 4, each with 16 free-form segments (Ramp/Dwell/End). Max segment length 99 hours 59 minutes
Delayed Start Max 99 hours 59mins delay from initiation to program start
Guaranteed Soak Holds program if PV is outside of specified hold band during dwell segments.
Program Cycles 1 to 9999 or infinite (continuously re-starts program at end)
Ramp Rate Definition Either ramp rate, or time to final setpoint
Power Loss Recovery Hot (continue profile from point of power fail) or Cold (end profile and return to controller mode)
