On/Off Temperature Controllers 2TCR1

SKU: 2TCR1

2TCR1 is a dual-channel temperature controller designed for measuring, recording, or automatically regulating temperature, as well as other physical quantities (pressure, humidity, level, flow, etc.). Its key strength lies in independent dual-channel control, allowing for advanced logic like mean value or delta-based regulation. The presence of a second input allows for regulation based on two quantities, calculating either the average value or the difference between the input readings. The presence of RS-485 allows all measured and configurable parameters of the device to be transmitted to the enterprise's dispatching network.

Main features of 2TCR1:

  1. Measurement and regulation of physical quantities across two channels:
    • According to a two-position control law;
    • One measured quantity according to a three-position control law;
    • Analog P-control;
    • Weather-dependent control
  2. Monitoring of communication loss with actuators.
  3. Alarm for measured quantities exceeding specified limits.
  4. Programming via MicroUSB.
  5. Manual control mode for actuators.

    Functionality of 2TCR1

    Input Signal Handling

    • Measurement of temperature, pressure, humidity, flow, level, etc. via two independent channels
    • Input signal processing:
      • Digital filtering and correction
      • Signal scaling to engineering units
    • Mathematical functions and display:
      • Square root of measured value
      • Weighted sum, difference, or ratio of two channels
      • Weighted average and root mean square (RMS) of values from both channels
    • Compatible with intrinsically safe barriers for hazardous areas
    • Signal dynamics analysis (rising, falling, stable)

    Display & Configuration

    • Digital display shows:
      • Measured value, setpoint, output level, calculated function, or signal trend
    • Automatic parameter rotation on the display
    • Factory reset option
    • Menu access control and parameter protection against unauthorized changes

    Alarm & Emergency Handling

    • Monitoring of:
      • Sensor disconnection, signal freeze, and out-of-range values
    • Automatic recovery of regulation after sensor reconnection or signal normalization
    • Failsafe output switching in case of alarm or STOP mode activation

    Interfaces

    • USB Type-C:
      • Easy device configuration from a PC
    • RS-485
      • Data logging and configuration via PC
      • Remote process control (start/stop, mode change, setpoint adjustment)

    FAQ

    What types of sensors are supported by the 2TCR1? Are 4–20 mA and 0–10 V signals supported?

    Yes, the 2TCR1 supports a wide range of standardized analog signals:

    • Current signals: 0–5 mA, 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA
    • Voltage signals: 0–5 V, 0–10 V

    It also supports a broad range of RTD and TC (thermocouple) sensors.

    Rate the answer?
    How is data logging performed? Is there built-in memory?

    The 2TCR1 does not have a built-in data logging function. For this purpose, it is recommended to use external devices such as the Akytec MSD200 module, which can archive data via the RS-485 network.

    Rate the answer?
    Which parameters can be configured via Akytec Tool Pro?

    With the Akytec Tool Pro software, you can configure the following:

    • Operating modes of logic units (LU): comparator, P-controller, data logger
    • Types of input signals
    • Temperature setpoints and hysteresis
    • Alarm and fault parameters
    • Display settings

    All configurations are saved in the device’s non-volatile memory

    Rate the answer?
    How easy is it to integrate the 2TCR1 into SCADA systems? Is Modbus RTU supported?

    The 2TCR1 supports the standard Modbus ASCII/RTU protocol via the RS-485 interface, ensuring easy integration into SCADA systems and dispatching networks.

    Rate the answer?
    What is the measurement accuracy?

    For thermocouples (TC): accuracy is ±0.5%.

    For other sensors: accuracy is ±0.25%.

    Rate the answer?
    What are the software requirements for configuring the device?
    For configuring the 2TCR1, it is recommended to use the Akytec Tool Pro software, which is compatible with Windows operating systems. The software provides an intuitive interface for device configuration, monitoring, and firmware updates.
    Rate the answer?

    Total rating: 4.0

    How is the device protected from external factors such as humidity or temperature fluctuations?
    The 2TCR1 has an IP54 enclosure rating for versions P1 and P2, providing protection against dust and water splashes.
    Rate the answer?
    What operating modes are available for each channel of the temperature controller?

    The 2TCR1 supports the following operating modes:

    • Two-position (relay) mode: Control of the actuator with two states (on/off).
    • Three-position mode: Regulation with two setpoints and two actuators.
    • Analog P-control: Proportional control using analog signals.
    • Weather-dependent regulation: Control based on external climatic conditions.

    Each channel can operate independently in one of these modes.
