Watlow CLS200 series controller

Alarm output: Each channel is independently configured with "process alarm" and "deviation alarm", supporting programmable dead zone, delay, and start suppression. The global alarm output can summarize the alarm status of all channels, and there is also a "watchdog output" to indicate that the controller is running normally.

4. Communication and Power Supply

Serial communication: Supports EIA/TIA-232 or EIA/TIA-485 (selectable via jumper), baud rates can be selected as 2400/9600/19200, protocol compatible with ANSI X3.28-1976 (D1, F1) and Allen Bradley PLC/2, Modbus ®  RTU；

Power requirements: 15-24V DC (± 3V DC), maximum current 1A, current 300mA without load; optional 120/240V AC (50/60Hz) power adapter (output 15V) DC@1.2A ， UL ®  Class 2 certification).

5. Environmental adaptability

Working temperature: not clearly indicated (reference to general industrial equipment standards, estimated to be -10~55 ℃, subject to actual application);

Anti interference: Complies with industrial grade electromagnetic compatibility requirements (relying on the EMC testing standards corresponding to CE certification).

Optional accessories and software

1. Analog Conversion Module (DAC/SDC)

The CLS200 series has no onboard analog output and requires external modules to achieve analog signal conversion:

DAC module: converts the DZC output signals of 1-2 controllers into analog signals, and the output types can be configured on-site as 4-20mA DC, 0-5V DC, or 0-10V DC;

SDAC module (serial digital to analog converter): converts 1 controller output into high-precision analog voltage/current signals, suitable for scenarios such as process variable retransmission, open-loop control, motor speed control, etc., with CE, UL ®、 C-UL ®  authentication.

2. Upper computer software (WATVIEW)

Optional Windows ®- Based HMI software, core functions include:

Simultaneously monitor/configure up to 32 CLS200 controllers;

Support parameter settings, custom recipe management, alarm monitoring, trend chart drawing, real-time data recording, and export log data to a spreadsheet;

Divided into "Run time" and "Developer" versions, the Developer version additionally supports custom interface design and has higher configuration efficiency than general HMI software.

Order information and attachments

1. Core ordering code rules

The CLS200 series order requires clear parameters such as "number of channels, controller type, terminal board, power supply, communication accessories, and special inputs". The core code meanings are as follows:
