🔧 Technical Specifications

• Input Types: Supports multi-input configurations, including thermocouples, RTDs (3-wire), DC voltage, and DC current inputs.
• Control Outputs:
  • OUT1: Options include relay contact (3 A at 250 V AC), non-contact voltage (12 V DC ±15%, max 40 mA), or direct current (4–20 mA DC, max load resistance 600 Ω).
  • OUT2: Available when heating/cooling control options (DR, DS, DA) are selected, with similar output configurations as OUT1.
• Event Outputs: Up to 4 event outputs (EV1–EV4), each with relay contact output (3 A at 250 V AC resistive load).
• Event Inputs: Supports up to 4 digital inputs for external control, enabling pattern selection and other functions.
• Display: Features an 11-segment LCD display with three-color PV indication (green, orange, red) for easy status monitoring.
• Program Capacity: Capable of storing up to 16 patterns with 16 steps each, totaling 256 programmable steps.
• Power Supply: Operates on 100–240 V AC or 24 V AC/DC, depending on the model.
• Accuracy: ±0.2% of the measuring range for thermocouple inputs; ±0.1% for RTD inputs.
• Protection Rating: Front panel conforms to IP66 standards, offering resistance to dust and water ingress.
• Dimensions: 96 x 96 x 98.5 mm (W x H x D).

🛠️ Additional Features

• Serial Communication: Supports Modbus ASCII/RTU and Shinko protocols for integration with various systems.
• Monitoring Software: Compatible with SWC-PCA101M and SWM-PCA101M software for data monitoring, editing, and uploading. Notably, when using a USB communication cable, the PCA1 does not require separate power for configuration.
• Cooling Methods: Offers selectable cooling methods (air, oil, water) for OUT2 when heating/cooling control options are utilized.
