Product Description
Everything under control with one controller
Our BRC controller offers quick access to all important parameters and the possibility to switch electric valves directly from the controller. The auto-tuning function allows you to easily and quickly determine PID control values specifically for your system. This reduces fluctuations in target temperature by over 80%, resulting in better reproducibility and fewer unwanted by-products. The BRC can be individually adapted to your needs with modular extensions.
Auto-Tuning
Optimal PID parameters result in faster heating rates and less overshoot when reaching the target temperature. Optimized general PID values are preset for all Berghof highpreactors.
By means of the auto-tuning function, the PID parameters are optimized to the actual filling quantity, the reagents used and the temperature range. Up to 3 parameter sets can be stored and thus optimal test results can be obtained.
Operation modes of temperature control
Different operation modes of temperature control
1. Manual: Simplest mode of operation with manual start. The system heats to the selected target temperature as quickly as possible and maintains it for the specified run time. Stirring is constant at target speed. Valves can be switched manually.
2. Ramp: A simple temperature program consisting of heating, holding and cooling phases is programmed and executed. Stirring is constant at the setpoint speed. Valves can be switched manually.
3. Sequence: Up to 5 ramps can be lined up to follow complex temperature programs. For each ramp, the set speed of the stirring, a pressure limit and valve can also be set.
Intuitive operation
No matter with which of the 4 operating modes - manual - ramp - sequence or autotuning - you are working, you always have all functions and parameters on sight. Simple swiping leads to the next mode. Further detailed information or settings are always just a click away.
Parameter sets are preset for all reactor configurations. In addition, 10 further parameter sets can be individually adapted and saved.
Data logging
By connecting an external PC, the BRHS process controller can also be used as a data logger for documenting the temperature and pressure curves or other standard signals. With the aid of the software supplied, the temperature, pressure, heating power, speed and motor current curves can be recorded via the BRHS.
Software system control
The controller that adapts to your needs - Even the software can be individually adapted to your requirements.
