Zesta ZEL-C21
The Fuzzy Logic plus PID microprocessor-based controller series, incorporates a bright, easy to read 4-digit LED display, indicating the process value or the set point value. The Fuzzy Logic technology enables the process to reach a predetermined set point in the shortest time, with minimum overshoot during power-up or an external load disturbance.
 
The ZEL-C21 is a 1/32 DIN size panel mount controller. The ZEL-C91 is a 1/16 DIN size panel mount controller. These units are powered by 11-26 VAC/VDC or 90-250 VAC supply. The base model incorporates a 2-amp control relay output as a standard. The second output may be configured as a cooling control or as an alarm. Both outputs can select AC triac, 5 VDC logic, linear current or linear voltage to drive an external device. There are six types of alarms, plus a dwell timer that may be configured for a second output. The units are fully programmable for PT100 DIN as well as thermocouple types J, K, T, E, B, R, S, N and L. The input signal is digitized using an 18-bit A to D converter. The high-speed sampling rate of the A to D converter allows precise control of rapidly changing processes.
 
Digital communications such as RS-485 or RS-232 (for ZEL-C21) are available as an additional option. The digital communication feature allows the units to be interfaced with supervisory control systems and software. A programming port is available for automatic configuration, calibration and testing without the need to access the control via the front keypad directly.
