Eurotherm EPack Delivers real savings to significantly reducing your energy costs

EPack power controller is a compact fully featured power controller from Eurotherm, combining a high level of functionality and configurability with simplicity of setup and operation. The combination of advanced configurable firing modes allows close matching to load characteristics for maximum process efficiency. EPack is highly configurable and may be adapted for current and future needs using a software key to purchase additional functionality when needed.

Format and Ratings

EPack power controllers are designed to carry currents from 1 to 125 amps, with operating voltage between 100 and 500 Volts. It has a compact DIN rail and bulkhead mounting format in 4 mechanics depending on the current rating (16A to 32A, 40A to 63A, 80A to 100A or 125A). These units are specified for normal operation up to 45°C (113F). There are two options for auxiliary power supply, 100-500V ac or 24V ac/dc.

Display

Clear visualization of all operating and configuration information is available on the clear, high definition 1.5" TFT display. This includes alarm indication as well as process and operating data such as load voltage and energy usage and nominal current. Should a system fault occur, clear messages allow the precise origin of the problem to be determined, thereby reducing downtime.

Comms

EPack power controller has Ethernet communications as standard, and includes an integrated dual port switch so that units may be "daisy chained". This allows integration with other plant equipment using standard Ethernet protocols such as Ethernet IP, Modbus/TCP, allowing connection to process and temperature controllers, SCADA/ Supervisory systems and Programmable Logic Controllers. Operational data and Full diagnostic are available for use by higher level systems and to allow process improvements. Plug and play Ethernet connection is provided via "zero configuration" protocol. 

Using standard current and voltage inputs to the EPack unit, analogue communication for power setpoints is fully supported,

Config

EPack is fully software configurable, with all advanced functions and options are available when needed. Software modules may be purchased when required by use of a software key so that existing units may be adapted to changing needs over time. The instrument order code allows pre-configured units to be delivered ready for use, or alternatively a "Quick Start Code" using integrated HMI may be used to quickly configure for use. Eurotherm iTools is used when a deeper level of configuration is required, which provides comprehensive access to all functions with context sensitive help.
