ER2000-P Electric Controller

The Clorius ER 2000-P controller is used for constant pressure control. It is suitable for all heating and cooling control systems. The controller is primarily intended for marine installations and other industrial applications.

Design

The ER 2000-P controller is designed for panel mounting. For an easy start-up, it has optimization for the automatic determination of favourable control parameters. The optimization starts when changing the set point or when switching over from manual mode to automatic control. The optimization can be disregarded. For easy operation, it has three keys – two for scrolling or changing values and an enter key. Two digital displays show the process variable and the setpoint. 3 LEDs indicate actuator opens, actuator closes and alarm. The controller can be switched from auto mode to manual mode. In manual mode, the actuator can be opened, closed or stopped in a certain position. Three different alarm settings are possible:

• Alarm at a deviation from the setpoint SP
• Alarm at a fixed limit value
• Alarm at leaving a band around the setpoint SP

It can operate either as a three-position or as a two-position controller or analogue controller (4-20 mA) and has an adjustable proportional band, integral action time and derivative action time.

Function

The pressure input comes via a 4-20 mA signal. The measured value of the controlled variable is compared with the setpoint value and adjusted via a PI or a PID control structure. The ER 2000-P permits direct reading of the actual temperature value (PV) and it is secured from failure in the measuring circuit, i.e. the controller can be set to give either a closing, an opening or remain in current position command in case of sensor short circuit or sensor break. The error message Err appears in the LED display PV.
