Eurotherm EPack compact CSR power controller comes with a whole list of features and combines ease of operation and set up with exceptional configurability and functionality.

Physical Format and Rating
These power controllers from Eurotherm feature a bulkhead mounting format and DIN rail in four different mechanics on the basis of the current rating. These units can operate normally up to a temperature of 45°C. EPack can carry currents between 1 amp and 125 amps having operating voltage of 100 to 500 Volts. The unit offers two auxiliary power supply options - 24V ac/dc or 100-500V ac.

Display
The high definition 1.5" TFT display makes all operating and configuration information, including load voltage, nominal current, process conditions, alarm indication, and energy usage   clearly visible. In case of a fault in the control system, display of clear messages allows easy determination of the problem, thus helping in minimizing down-time.

Reduction in energy costs
The EPack power controller from Eurotherm is a highly configurable and flexible unit that can be configured according to current as well as future needs with the help of a software key. The key can be used in future to buy additional functionality.

Communications
The unit comes with standard Ethernet communications, and also has an integrated dual port switch that allows linear connection of units. Standard Ethernet protocols like Modbus/TCP and Ethernet IP can be used to integrate plant equipment, making connection possible between programmable logic controllers, temperature and process controllers, and SCADA systems. For process improvements, higher level systems can use diagnostic and operational data. EPack power controller with standard voltage and current inputs can support analogue communication.

Configuration
The unit can be configured with advanced options and features using software key. Pre-configured units can be ordered using the instrument order code. On the other hand, the unit can be quickly configured using a simple "Quick Start Code". Eurotherm iTools can be used to configure more advanced features.
