ASPYRE® AT Power Controllers

Detail	The ASPYRE® AT is a family of flexible, compact and scalable smart SCR power controllers. It features multiple advanced firing and control mode algorithms combined with sophisticated diagnostics. The ASPYRE AT integrates easily with EZ-ZONE® RM, PM PLUS® and RMA PLUS™ controllers as part of a Watlow® ecosystem solution.
Features and Benefits
Key component of a Watlow ecosystem solution	Integrates with EZ-ZONE® RM, RMA PLUS™ and PM PLUS® controllers for a complete solution including Modbus® TCP,EtherNet/IP™, or EtherCAT® communication
	Eliminates discrete wiring between temperature controllers and power controllers for each heater through the highspeed backplane interface with Watlow controllers
	Enables data collection and diagnostics from the power controllers
	Customizes for your application with programmable function blocks including logic, math, compare and more
High accuracy current and voltage measurement	Characterizes process performance
	Supports comparing (fingerprinting) equipment operation
Integrated, scalable solution	Allows connection from the temperature control system at one point communicating with up to 16 power controllers
	Offers greater than 60% reduction in wiring footprint and costs compared to other multi-zone systems
	Eliminates need for current transformer and associated wiring with integrated current measurement
Industry-leading design and serviceability	Offers a robust SCR design to meet a rugged industrial environment’s high quality and reliability needs
	Enables fast troubleshooting by providing helpful thermal system diagnostics
100KA short circuit current rating (SCCR)	Enables greater protection in the event of a short circuit
c-UL® 508 Listed	Shortens project schedules, agency testing and expenses
Closed-loop control on: Voltage, current or power	Compensates for line voltage variations and thermal component tolerances (e.g. heater wattage, insulation variation, etc.)
Load firing modes: Zero-cross, burst fire, phase angle, soft start	Handles a wide range of load types
	Protects and extends the life of connected loads
Open heater and shorted SCR indication	Minimizes production downtime with easy to understand, intelligent, troubleshooting diagnostics
Integrated USB for configuration	Easily and safely program configuration settings with electronics powered through USB connection
	Eliminates a user from having to work in a high voltage, hazardous environment. High voltage to controller or system panel can be turned off while setting controller configuration
Heater bakeout	Protects heater on startup
	Eliminates labor and time associated with checking for wet heaters
Cooling options	Integrates DIN-rail mountable heat sink option for simplifying implementation
	Offers base plate option for flexibility in removing heat from the electrical box
