DESCRIPTION
The universal temperature controller
KS 4X-1 are intended for universal,
precise, and cost-effective control
tasks in all branches of industry. For
this, the unit provides simple 2-point
(on/off) control, continuous PID con-
trol, or 3-point stepping control. The
process value signal is connected via a
universal input. A supplementary ana-
log input can be used for heating cur-
rent measurement or as an external
set-point input.
Every KS 4X-1 has three process out-
puts that can be 3 relays or 2 relays
plus a universal output. This universal
output can be used for operating a so-
lid-state relay, a continuous cur-
rent/voltage output or to energize a
two-wire transmitter.
Plug-in module
KS 4X-1 controllers are built as plug-in
modules. This enables them to be re-
placed very quickly without tools, and
without disturbing the wiring.

universal line
Automatic/Manual key
Timer and programmer
Type tested to DIN 3440, cUL and GL
Self-tuning
During start-up, the self-tuning functi-
on determines the optimum settings
for fast line-out without overshoot.
With three-point controller configurati-
on, the „cooling“ parameters are de-
termined separately, thus ensuring an
optimum match to the process.
Display and operation
Clear informations are given by ten in-
dicator LED’s in the front panel that
display operating mode, I/O states,
and errors. The auto/manual key swit-
ches the controller into the manual
mode directly, without lengthy opera-
ting sequences. If required, the direct
switch over can be disabled or the key
can be configured e.g. to start the in-
ternal timer. This results in a level of
operational safety that is usually found
only in controllers of a higher price ca-
tegory.
Front interface and Engineering
Tools
Control parameter adjustment in se-
conds has now also been implemen-
ted in the KS 40 class of instruments.
Via the BlueControl software incl. its
simulation functions, and especially
the convenient BluePort front panel in-
®
terface, the required set-up for a speci-
fic control task can be determined
without a detailed study of the opera-
ting instructions.
Off cause almost all adjustments can
be done comfortably over the instru-
ment front. (see page 6, BlueControl)
