For CRS / WRS / WRST / DRS / FAS / LT Product Lines
CCS-3000 Controller & Panel Options
The CCS-3000 touchscreen controller system provides process control, process alarms, and circuit switching. Features include:
- Touchscreen controller with intuitive operation.
- Single point chamber power connection, with accessible and lockable over-current protection. All branch circuits are fuse or breaker protected for maximum equipment protection.
- Central wiring location, labeling, and grouping for efficient troubleshooting. Plug-in and DIN rail components for efficient replacement.
- Formica covered side accent panels for protection of main control panel housing. Access panels can be color coordinated with any building color scheme, and can be replaced if damage or remodeling occur.
- Durable, brushed stainless steel fronts for impact resistance and durability. These panels are lockable and hinged for access when servicing the control panel.
- Anodized aluminum interior construction with offset mounting rails to produce a natural heat dissipating cooling plenum behind the control panel.
- Lockable Lexan cover for controls section, providing protection and security of touchscreen controller.
- Lexan polycarbonate controls label providing non-fading identification within controls section.
- MET* third party listing of entire control panel assembly which includes listed panel components and devices. *Note: Certification compliant with UL listing standards.
- Custom controller options, and enclosure options of NEMA 3R, NEMA 4 / 4X, or NEMA 12 for specific environmental requirements. See Options section at end.
The CCS-3000 touchscreen controller system provides process control, process alarms, and circuit switching. Features include:
- Microprocessor based I/O hardware with fixed programmed logic. The control logic program is stored on a non-volatile, high capacity memory card EE-prom. All control parameter settings, alarms and setpoints are maintained during power failure, and restart is automatic upon power restoration.
- Backlit, alphanumeric LCD color touchscreen display provides operator access to all system parameters through intuitive, Windows® style drop down menus. The 6” display is compatible with low to high room light levels. Menu selections and on-screen instructions with on screen help are of sufficient detail to allow for typical day-to-day use without reference manuals.
Conformance to the FDA 21 CFR 11 requirements for data recording, audit trails of controller settings modification, alarm history logs, operator event logs and secure file transfers (with paperless recording option activated at the factory). Operating data is encrypted and stored in user defined time length log files, and can be viewed on the touchscreen, or remotely by PC. Password protection provides multiple levels of user access and defined rights. Password aging and re-authentification for process changes are also provided per 21 CFR 11 specifications. High level encryption and digital signatures are supported for paperless operation.
Real-time trending of temperature and humidity parameters and setpoints. The touchscreen provides autoscaled and user definable scaled plots over a 1 minute to 12 hour time period. A ‘drag and zoom’ feature allows for magnified views within a specific plot period. The trend graphs can be printed by pressing an on-screen print icon and connecting an optional printer. Historical data logging is provided with the paperless recording option activated at the factory.
Interface USB port for data transfer to printer or removable memory stick to maintain local ‘paper trail’ requirements. A touchscreen ‘print’ icon allows one touch printout of data trends in report or graphic format. The removable memory stick allows export and import of profiles, alarm files, audit trail files, and other data files. File utilities are available with the paperless recording option activated at the factory.
Independent, adjustable high and low alarm set points for temperature and humidity. Automatic alarms disable specific controlled devices (heaters, blowers, steam generators, etc), and trigger backup mechanical conditioning system operation (with redundancy option). Operators are notified of alarms through a red screen background, the activation of an audible alarm, the switching of a remote alarm contact set, and the creation of an alarm log with time, date, and type of alarm. Historical alarm logs are available with the paperless recording option activated at the factory.- Independent time delay action for each alarm parameter. Alarm action delays and audible alarm delays are each adjustable from 0 to 60 minutes in 1 minute increments. ‘Common alarm’ contacts activate after alarm action delay (Form C relay – N.O. and N.C. contacts provided).
“Intelligent” adaptive defrost timer; time or temperature initiated and time or temperature terminated. By sensing chamber coil temperature, the timer allows for minimum temperature rise due to a defrost cycle. The adjustable fan time delay, or an evaporator coil temperature sensor, terminates the defrost cycle and pre-cools the evaporator coil to an operator selected temperature before re-energizing the fans. Defrost is automatically disabled through either a user set coil temperature above freezing, or by exceeding a maximum chamber temperature rise setpoint.
Ethernet connectivity. This allows for remote viewing of chamber process variables and alarms through a web browser. These include: actual temperature, actual humidity, process setpoints, and system alarms with name and date/time of alarms. Data is “read only”, and the internal stored data cannot be altered.- Adjustable electric heater on-delay. A percent-delay setting allows the electric heat to stage in earlier or later depending upon heat demand and control capability of the refrigeration hot gas. This feature ensures that the refrigeration system is efficiently used to control the chamber temperature, resulting in lower operating costs and steam usage when the chamber has humidity control.
- “Intelligent” enabling / disabling of humidification and dehumidification. Humidification is disabled below freezing, and dehumidification is disabled at factory-selected conditions where drying is not required.
- Solid state, “zero switching” outputs, for refrigeration and humidity control. Zero switching outputs prevent unnecessary radio frequency interference. Standard solenoid or solid state relay cycling is provided on an adjustable time base of 4 to 32 seconds.
- Proportional control valve outputs for refrigeration or chilled water control. Control is provided by 4-20 mA DC. *Note: Proportional output only applicable to proportional refrigeration valve purchase.
Mechanical A / B switching / cycling (requires purchase of conditioning system redundancy). Two types of operation are available: alternating and concurrent. The display indicates ‘A’ or ‘B’ system failure and selected mode of operation. Alternating operation provides equal runtime for both systems (selectable 12 h, 24 h, or 7 d), and provides an additional selection of defrost method (‘before’ or ‘after’ defrost). Concurrent operation provides simultaneous power to both systems for maximum conditioning capability; a timer governs the minimum run time. Both operational setups provide immediate action or delayed action (“product load timer”) upon temperature fault.
