Multi-Loop Controller with Multifunction Display
Model C7G
UL(US,CA)
A diversity of built-in functions
High-speed control
Up to 4 loops can be controlled at speeds of up to 10 ms. Ideal for heater control and other high-gain processes that require high-speed control.
Pattern operation
The C7G/C7S are equipped with pattern operation functions. The same pattern operation can be used for up to 4 loops, or individual patterns operations can be executed. Functions that are needed for pattern operations, like PV start and guaranteed soak, are of course available.

Diagram of pattern operation
The controller displays and records changes in heater resistance to show the heater’s condition.
Heater voltage and current is measurable from the voltage transformer (VT) input and current transformer (CT) input and is displayed as RMS values. Based on the values measured for VT input and CT input, heater resistance can be calculated, monitored (displayed/transmitted), and recorded.* The state of a heater whose resistance characteristics vary depending on the temperature environment is easier to know by recording* the resistance together with the temperature control status.
*The controller’s CDS (compact data storage) function is used for recording.

Cascade control
Compatible with internal cascade control functions. Especially effective for large-scale process control with slow dynamics.
Broken-line approximation
Equipped with broken-line approximation function for input and output. Controllability is improved by utilizing this feature for functions such as non-linear sensor output and output tohigh-gain actuators.
Fixed-value output
Useful when fixed control output appropriate for the process equipment characteristics is preferable to outputting the results of PID calculation. Sample uses: preheating while on standby, or when opening/closing the equipment door.
Display unit settings
The display can show, separately for each loop, the units of measurement desired for the application.
