AKGrad32 Specifications: Powerful Power Regulator controlled with reliable Fieldbus
The DSP processor of the AKGrad32 regulates Power with best accuracy 32bits and measures true RMS mains voltage V, current A, power kW and resistor OHM for each phase.
This powerful measurement system enables:
► Patented soft-start firing for any inductive downstream transformer which avoid over current peaks even in cost saving 2-Phases Control Three Phase Circuit.
► Unique integrated power savings “SYNCHRO” feature for real-time load management and energy bill reduction.
► Very high precision closed loop kW-%-I²-U² regulation with partial/total load failure diagnosis on each phase.
► Instantaneous adaption to voltage variations, over currents due to short circuit to ground or load surge.
► Phase-Angle soft start for heaters with high cold/hot variations with current limit feature.
It offers the following features as standard:
► 5 digital inputs,
► 3 output relays,
► 2 analog inputs mA/V,
► 2 analog outputs mA/V,
► Modbus RS232/485/422 connection,
It offers the following options:
► COM1: Modbus TCP Ethernet or Ethernet-IP or Modbus RS323/485/422,
► COM2: Profinet or Profibus-DP or Modbus-RS232/485/422,
► Operator Interface HMI 4" front panel all languages.
