Commander 1960 - Multi-recipe profile recorder/controller

A multi-recipe profile recorder/controller for applications where advanced ramp/soak profiling control and recording of multiple process parameters is required

Commander 1960 is designed as a totally self-contained unit with 20 profiles/ 99 segments and features such as guaranteed ramp/soak, a dedicated operator display and time events to assign relays/outputs to individual or multiple segments. The recorder/ controller is suitable for panel-, wall- or pipe-mounting with NEMA4X/ IP66 enclosure protection as a standard.

Commander 1960 or C1960 is designed specifically for the food processing, canning, tire presses and dyebeck industries with application areas such as - autoclaves, retort controls, pneumatic upgrades, tire presses, dye beck process, smokehouses and kilns.

There are four version of C1960 available:
  • C1961: One controller and one recording pen with control and ramp/soak faceplates
  • C1962: One controller and two recording pens with control, record and ramp/soak faceplates
  • C1963: One controller and three recording pens with control, record and ramp/soak faceplates
  • C1964: Two controllers and two recording pens with two control and one ramp/soak faceplates for Channel 1

  • Easy to compile ramp/soak profiles that can be programmed via the front panel. The C1960 can store up to 20 programs, 10 per control channel, as standard

  • Flexible ramp/soak operation with two hysteresis settings; one applicable to soak segments, the other to ramp segments

  • Convenient product/ profile selection either via the front panel, multi-position selector switches connected to the C1960’s digital inputs or by a MODBUS Master

  • Dedicated ramp/soak display with status LEDs give a clear indication of the current state of the profile, showing whether a ramp or soak is being performed

  • Programmable power failure recovery based on pre-selection of the restart position within the profile

  • Flexible and powerful control strategy where the six common events can be allocated to relay or digital outputs and each segment can be configured to enable any event

  • A self-seeking set point setting enables a profile to start from the current process temperature thereby eliminating time wastage to drive the process temperature down to the actual start temperature for the profile

  • Comprehensive sequencing and advanced analog control features with eight logic equations and up to seven elements per equation

  • Four internal process alarm inputs per channel that can be soft-wired to control strategies, logic equations and output relays
