Technical Specifications

Function Features

• Isolated SCR Gate Drive: 4 independent, isolated channels deliver precise gate signals to SCRs, preventing cross-talk and ensuring safe, fast switching of AC/DC loads.
• High-Performance Signal Filtering: 4th-order low-pass filter and differential inputs eliminate electrical noise, ensuring stable operation in high-interference industrial environments.
• Integrated Power Supply: 100–240 VAC universal input with 12 VDC/5 A regulated output powers gate drives and auxiliary circuits without external power sources.
• Robust Terminal Interface: 16-position screw terminals with gold-plated contacts provide secure, corrosion-resistant connections for sensors, controllers, and SCR power modules.
• Comprehensive Protection: Overvoltage, overcurrent, reverse polarity, and thermal shutdown circuits protect the board and connected SCRs from damage during faults.
• Industrial-Grade Reliability: Wide operating temperature range and 2500 VAC isolation meet industrial safety standards for long-term operation in harsh conditions.
• Easy Integration: DIN rail/panel mount design and standard terminal layout simplify installation into existing control systems.
• Diagnostic LEDs: Status indicators for power, gate drive activity, and fault conditions enable quick troubleshooting without specialized tools.

Application Scenarios

• Industrial HVAC Systems: Controls SCR-based heating elements in furnaces, boilers, and air handlers; maintains precise temperature regulation and energy efficiency.
• Power Control Panels: Interfaces with PLCs to drive SCRs for motor speed control, lighting dimming, and power factor correction in manufacturing facilities.
• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Regulates SCR-driven pumps and blowers; ensures consistent flow rates and process efficiency in treatment plants.
• Food Processing: Controls heating elements in ovens, fryers, and sterilization equipment; maintains strict temperature profiles for food safety.
• Commercial Buildings: Manages SCR-based HVAC systems, backup generators, and lighting controls; optimizes energy usage and reduces operational costs.
• Renewable Energy Systems: Interfaces with inverters to control SCR-based grid-tie switches; ensures stable power flow and grid compliance.
• Mining & Oil/Gas: Controls SCR-driven pumps and compressors in remote locations; withstands harsh environmental conditions and electrical noise.

Compatibility and Integration

• SCR Compatibility: Works with all standard SCRs (50 A–1000 A, 600 V–1200 V); supports both phase-angle and zero-crossing control modes.
• Control System Integration: Interfaces with PLCs (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, GE Fanuc) via 24 VDC dry contact inputs; gate drive outputs directly connect to SCR gates.
• Sensor Compatibility: Accepts 4–20 mA or 0–10 V signals from temperature, pressure, and flow sensors; filtered inputs ensure signal integrity.
• Switchgear/Panels: Fits standard control cabinets; DIN rail mounting aligns with industrial panel layouts; screw terminals simplify wiring and maintenance.
• Safety Compliance: Meets UL 508C and IEC 61010-1 standards; 2500 VAC isolation prevents electrical shock and equipment damage.
• Accessories: Optional DIN rail mounting clips; terminal block covers for dust/water protection; 12 VDC backup power module for critical applications.
