SCR controls, also called silicon controlled rectifiers, play a critical role in temperature regulation. Their primary use is to control the flow of electricity to a heater, precisely regulating temperature to produce specific material effects or properties within an industrial furnace, oven, or other thermal processing equipment. SCR controls are up to 99.5% efficient. Since SCRs are solid state devices with no mechanical wear parts, they provide long, maintenance-free operation, dramatically increasing heater life and reducing down time and cost.

Watlow Din-A-Mite® Series

The Watlow Din-A-Mite series spans the gap from solid state contactor to fully featured SCR power control, providing a low-cost, compact and versatile solid state controller option for controlling electric heat. DIN-rail and standard panel mounting, plus a cabinet thru-wall mount version, are available. All Din-A-Mite SCRs are mercury-free.

Watlow Aspyre Series™

This power controller family features multiple advanced microprocessor-based firing and control mode algorithms. Combined with diagnostics and several communications options, the product enables equipment and factory automation.

Controller firing modes include zero cross, burst firing, single cycle, delayed triggering and phase angle. These smart algorithms enable the product to easily control a wide base of heater loads including nichrome, moly, silicon carbide, tungsten quartz and infrared lamps, and transformer-coupled loads.

ASPYRE DT offers a comprehensive list of modular options that deliver space and labor savings including controlled legs (1, 2 or 3), semiconductor fusing, load current measurement, amperage size and user interface.

Eurotherm by Watlow EPower Controllers

EPower™ is the Eurotherm series of advanced power control units.

This controller is designed to carry currents from 50 to 630 amps. It can operate at up to 690 volts and is specified for normal operation up to 40°C. EPower includes seven different power configurations within one unit, depending on the number of power modules fitted. From single phase configuration to two-times-two phase control, the unit is perfectly modular and configurable to your process requirements. Multiple zones can be controlled with one unit.

EPower is fitted with a 4 line x 10 character display, with indication of the process values and diagnostic information, along with an alarm and event message center. Communications options include standard fieldbus networks such as Modbus RTU, Profibus DP, DeviceNet®, Ethernet (Modbus TCP), Ethernet/IP, CC-Link and Profinet IO communications. Quick Start HMI menus provide an easy and friendly way to quickly configure the unit, and more complex configurations are handled with the iTools software package.
