Heated Towel Rail Temperature controller White TCP200 with 2 hour boost

Product Information

As the most basic form of automated temperature control, on/off devices often incorporate latching relay switches, which must be manually reset after they reach a specified shutoff temperature

PID devices are typically shipped by their manufacturers with default settings programmed for the proportional, integral and derivative. Operators installing and using any type of PID instrument must first calibrate the device, making sure it is properly programmed and adjusted to suit the specific needs of the industrial process in question. This also includes ensuring that the environmental parameters that it is required to operate between are appropriate for the potential variables occurring within that process. Until this process has been completed, the PID controller cannot be left to automatically handle its assigned workload. If you are refilling a towel warmer from empty then a combination of 85% water and 15% corrosion inhibitor is recommended. In the simplest terms, all temperature control devices effectively work in a similar way. Their core role is to monitor and calculate, via an ongoing series of measurements from a sensor such as a thermocouple, the precise difference between the operator’s desired process temperature (the setpoint) and the current process temperature at any given time.

Tube-shaped heaters designed to fit perfectly into a hole in metal, for example. They can withstand high temperatures and are corrosion-resistant. Air Heaters Simple trial and error is often viewed as the most practical method of tuning PID controllers for many systems and scenarios. It is based on installing the device in a working system and effectively zeroing out all the settings. The operator then begins with proportional value, adjusting the gain upward until it reaches a point where it is oscillating around the setpoint.

In my controller, the power input (two hot leads) from the wall goes directly to the a 240v two pole 30 amp 220v circuit breaker in my controller box which serves as the ON/OFF switch for my controller. I used 10 gauge wiring for everything. The 10,0000w SCR relay controller setup I used was clearly marked for the in/out hot leads and the two hot wires on the circuit breaker connected directly to the two inputs on the SCR controller. The power input for the digital power monitor connected to the hot inputs on the circuit breaker as well. The monitor lights up as soon as the controller is plugged into to wall. The two hot outputs for the SCR controller goes to an L6-30R receptical on the NMEA controller box. I used a 220v fan which connected directly to the output on the Circuit breaker inside my controller so the fan turns on as soon as I switch the power on. The power monitor has a loop that goes over one of the hot leads from the SCR’s output. This is how the monitor determines the current output from the SCR. The element also includes a 2 hour boost timer option, which is perfect for drying those damp towels during summer when you don’t want to turn the central heating on. It can also be hooked up to a wall-mounted fused spur timer for extra timing functionality.

In 1922, Nicolas Minorsky made a real breakthrough towards what we now recognise as true PID control. Minorsky's observations and mathematical treatment would eventually evolve to give us the electronic industrial control mechanisms widely used as PID systems today. This is the control circuit that I designed for this project. It is based around a 555 timer IC. This configuration is known as “Astable Mode.” In this mode, the output of pin 3 is a series of HIGH and LOW pulses. This turns the relay off and on. The frequency and duration of these pulses is determined by the values of the resistors and the capacitor. This NMEA enclosure. I could have gone cheaper but I wanted one that was rugged with plenty of room inside: These devices offer the simplest form of automated temperature control, and can only respond to the temperature crossing the setpoint one way or another It is possible to install the temperature probe from the controller in the column thermometer location, but it is best to install it in the boiler location.
