Description
*For our newest line of controllers with Modbus connectivity, expanded ramp and soak programs, universal inputs, and simple PC programming, visit our CNPT Series.*The OMEGA™ CNi16 is the popular1/16 DIN size (48 mm2) controller.It is available with a single (modelCNi16) or dual display (model CNi16D)that displays a setpoint along withthe process value.
The CNi16 comesstandard with your choice of2 control or alarm outputs in almostany combination: solid state relaysrated at 0.5 A @ 120/240 VacForm "C" SPDT relays rated at3 A @ 120/240 Vac pulsed 10 Vdcoutput for use with an external SSRor analog output (0 to 10 Vdc or0 to 20 mA) selectable for control orretransmission of the process value.
The universal temperature andprocess instrument offer a selection of 10 thermocoupletypes as well as 2-, 3- or 4-wireRTDs, process voltage and current.The CNi16 controller is ideal for use with transmittersand amplified transducers. Built-inexcitation is standard (24 Vdc@ 25 mA). The units handle0 to 20 mA process current andprocess voltage in 3 scales:0 to 100 mV, 0 to 1V, and 0 to 10V.
The CNi16 displaycan be programmed to changecolor between GREEN, AMBER, or RED at any setpoint or alarmpoint.
The strain/process instrument(model CNiS) meters and controllersmeasure inputs from load cells,pressure transducers, and most anystrain gage sensor. Input rangesinclude 0 to 100 mVdc -100 mVdcto 1 Vdc 0 to 10 Vdc in addition to0 to 20 mA. Excitation for transducersof 5 V and 10 V is standard.
The CNi16 is the first 1/16 DINcontroller with the option of bothRS232 and RS485 in 1 instrumentwith the straightforward OMEGA™ ASCII protocol. If Modbus is required, we recommend our latest Platinum controllers - CNPT Series. And of course theCNi16 is the first 1/16 DIN controller thatcan connect directly to an Ethernetnetwork and features an embeddedWeb server. OMEGA™ provides freeconfiguration and data acquisitionsoftware downloaded off of the Web.
The CNi16 enclosure has aNEMA 4 (IP65) rated front bezel and the electronics are removable fromthe front panel.
