Programmable controllers

c-pro 3 nano is a range of extremely compact programmable controllers with numerous inputs and outputs (up to 25) and with an enhanced memory capacity to meet the management needs of the HVAC/R sector and OEM companies in particular.
Both versions with a CAN port and those with an INTRABUS proprietary port can have the number of I/O increased with the addition of expansions. Moreover, the CAN protocol enables a c-pro 3 nano to be integrated with the entire family of c-pro 3 series controllers and displays.
The MODBUS RTU option, used with an external interface, is always available in both master and slave formats. c-pro 3 nano plus is supplied with an RS-485, making possible the simultaneous presence of 2 MODBUS protocols.
The application software can be designed in a simple, intuitive and portable way thanks to the UNI-PRO 3 integrated development environment. The USB port, supplied as standard, makes the controller easy to program in the development phase and in debugging and it can be updated using the most common USB flash drives.
The stylish design and compact format, only 74x32 mm, make it the ideal controller for panel installation.  The user interface consisting of a double LED display (4 + 4 digit), function icons and 4 capacitive touch keys, has IP65 level protection.

c-pro 3 NODE kilo is a range of programmable controllers equipped with up to 40 inputs for systems enabled for remote operation in a vast range of applications, mainly HVAC/R. The application software can be designed in an intuitive way thanks to the UNI-PRO 3  integrated development environment.
The Ethernet port with built-in web server provides browser access to the HTML(5) pages of the application developed and the simultaneous presence of two RS-485 makes possible the joint use of such communications protocols as MODBUS TCP, MQTT, etc. These features facilitate communications between devices and their use in control and maintenance systems, both onsite and remote.
The data-logging function enables recording of up to 32 process variables/32 events to facilitate unit monitoring (e.g. energy consumption) and data traceability (which can be downloaded in CSV format by USB). The USB and Ethernet ports make it possible to reprogram, download and debug application software onsite or remotely, thus simplifying commissioning and subsequent diagnostics.
c-pro 3 NODE kilo is available in standard 8 DIN module format, blind or with a built-in 6-key user interface, with an LCD graphic display or a LED display with function icons.  It is designed to be installed on a DIN rail in a control panel.

Controllers for refrigerated cabinets, counters and islands with energy-saving strategies

The EV3 series 200 controllers are temperature regulators with a TTL port for MODBUS serial communication. Their compact and stylish design, only 74x32 mm panel-fitted, with 4 capacitive touch keys and IP65 protection, make them ideal for the optimised, waste-free management of refrigerated units at normal, low, static or fan-driven temperatures.

The energy-saving strategies, including adaptive defrost and set-point adjustment, are combined with compressor protection functions and the possibility of driving high-power compressors, up to 2 HP, without the need for additional hardware (in models fitted with electro-mechanical relay, 30 A res. @ 250 VAC).

The TTL port, fitted as standard, enables connection of optional plug-in modules powered by the controller. The clock module can be used to activate basic real-time functions, such as RTC defrost and recording 9 alarms, while for advanced functions associated with HACCP data traceability, a Bluetooth BLE 4.0 (EVlink) interface is available with model EV3294, enabling data display and access from mobile devices.

The EVconnect app (compatible with Android 4.4 or later versions devices) turns smartphones and tablets into a handy tool for viewing graphics and alarms in real time and for downloading historic data which can also be sent by e-mail. The access code makes it possible to change the configuration of the refrigeration unit, making EVconnect a must-have, state-of-the-art tool also for a top-class assistance service.

Controllers for single and dual-circuit chillers (EV3 CHIL & EVD CHIL) / Controllers for reversible single-circuit residential heat pumps (EV3 HP & EVD HP) / Controllers for mechanical ventilation units for air renewal (EV3 MVC & EVD MVC)
