Temperature / Process Controller Guide

True "controllers" add to the process at the same rate as it is decaying. By doing this they achieve a balance.

The best Temperature Controllers will add heat at the same rate as it is being lost from the process. So even when the temperature is at the set point, a good temperature controller will be adding heating or cooling to maintain a balance in the process. On a Kiln, the controller will add heat at the same rate as the heat losses.

Controllers add value by ensuring the product achieves its desired temperature quickly, efficiently and is held there accurately. Well tuned controllers will ensure that the temperature of the product remains at the desired temperature even when the process experiences changes in its opperation (what we call load changes). This improves the repeatability of the process, the quality of the product and in doing so reduces production costs and increses profit. When choosing a controller there are several factors that you will need to take into consideration.
 

Mounting
They can be panel or DIN rail mounted and we will even fit them into purpose built wall mounting enclosures.

Technical Features

While most controllers are used in their basic form, it is possible to include alarms, communication with computer networks and even change the operation of the controller with switched signals, timers and calculation from multiple inputs.

The Fuji Electric range of PXR, PXG, PUM, PXF provide a family of controllers that is unriavelled in features.

Our range of products ensures that customers are buying the most appropriate device for their application without it becoming too complicated or too expensive. Effectively providing the balance in specification and price. 

Got a oven, kiln or machine that is made is small batch quantities? 

Price Fuji Electric are one of the largest manufacturers of electronic controllers in the world. Our pricing is driven by ability to control the whole manufacturing process. This includes the manufacture of our own silicon chips and microprocessors, A claim that no other instrumentation manufacturer is able to make. With millions of controllers being manufactured each year, economy of scale enables us to offer quality/cost breakpoints that can only be offered from a high volume manufacturer of world leading quality and reliability.

If you are an OEM user of temperature controllers, or you just want to reduce your purchasing costs, send us your application details and volume requirements to receive our best price. The Fuji PXE has been specifically designed with OEMs in mind.
 

Delivery In the past few years we have seen that some customers just need to get their process running quickly. They are unsure of what features they require, they just need "one" now. This is where we can really help. We hold hundreds of controllers in stock. We can configure them to suit your application and provide you with a pin for pin equivalent wiring diagram for your existing controller. The controller can be sent by overnight shipper for next day delivery or for those of you who are are really in a hurry, we can even arrange same day delivery service.

Configuration
All Fuji Electric controllers can be configured using software or from the front panel. We can configure the controller for you, or support you over the phone to complete the steps of setting up the correct inputs and outputs.

We can also add options to controller so that additional inputs and outputs reducing control panel build time. This also reduces control panel costs, while reducing commisioning and testing time.
