Watlow EPower™ Controller Revolutionary modularity and configurability to meet your needs

Revolutionary modularity and configurability to meet your needs…

• Easy ordering, configuration and maintenance through modular design

• If your requirements change EPower controller can be easily adapted to meet your needs

• Minimum spares holding – many options configurable through a common

driver module e.g. firing mode, load, phases, control etc.

• Up to four power control modules provide single and multi-phase control

• Software configurable options to bring you flexibility

The options that you need…

A single driver module can support up to four power modules – and hence

four independent control loops.  Power modules are available in current ratings

covering a range from 100A to 630A.  The driver module itself supports options

boards to give you additional flexibility in your solution:

• Communications – RS485 Modbus RTU, Profibus, DeviceNet®, Modbus TCP

network protocols, CCLink*, EtherNet IP* and ProfiNet*

Predictive Load Management (PLM) – A powerful feature to effectively manage

your power requirements across multiple machines to save on your energy costs.

• Flexible I/O – The driver module supports standard I/O and up to three additional

I/O boards with analogue inputs, analogue outputs, digital I/O and relay outputs

• LTC – The Load Tap changer option for single phase unit applications only, allows

for managing multi-tap transformers, preventing both increased harmonics and the

reduction of power factor

• Energy Counter – Available over communications and for display on user screens,

customers can access up to 5 scalable counters, one per individual phases and a 

global energy usage counter
