smarty7-T | dw250-1201
Temperature Controller
0.82" x 3.62” x 4.73”
[21 x 92 x 120 mm (WxHxD)]
The smarty7-T is a DIN-rail mounted, 4-zone temperature controller designed for distributed industrial process control over Ethernet, providing four fully isolated temperature input channels supporting common thermocouples and RTDs with cold junction compensation. Each zone includes full PID control and configurable output options to support a range of heater control requirements.
Key Capabilities
- Four isolated temperature control zones
- Support for thermocouples and RTDs
- Cold junction compensation
- PID control with monitoring and adjustment tools
- Manual mode (0–100% output)
- On/Off control with hysteresis
- Fixed-time digital control
- 0–10 VDC power demand input
Distributed Ethernet Architecture
The smarty7-T operates in a peer-to-peer Ethernet environment. Each module provides its own processing, eliminating reliance on a central CPU and removing backplane constraints. This architecture allows parallel processing and scalable expansion across multiple modules.
Supported communication protocols include:
- Modbus TCP/IP
- Modbus RTU
- EtherNet/IP (PCCC)
The unit integrates with drives, PLCs, motion control systems, and HMIs.
User Interface and Configuration
Configuration and monitoring are performed via Ethernet or USB-C connection using drive.web tools. When paired with a compatible display, the system provides operator and setup access with password protection.
The browser-based interface supports:
- Operator and setup login levels
- Zone status indication with color-coded feedback
- Live trending
- PID setup pages
- Alarm configuration and reset pages
- °C/°F unit selection
The interface runs on standard PCs, tablets, and smartphones.
Mechanical and Installation
- DIN-rail mount
- Low-profile form factor
- Compact footprint suitable for panel installations
The smarty7-T is suited for extrusion systems, conveyors, chill rolls, tension control systems, winding systems, and other multi-zone thermal applications.
