Overview
1.1 Main Features of the E5AR/ER
The E5AR/ER is an advanced controller that features high-speed and high-precision control.
The E5AR/ER has the following features:
■ Inputs
● High-speed
sampling
● High accuracy/
high resolution
• 50-ms sampling period
• Accuracy Thermocouple:
(Larger of ±0.1% PV or ±1°C) ±1 digit max
Platinum resistance temperature input sensor:
(Larger of ±0.1% PV or ±0.5°C) ±1 digit max
Analog input: (±0.1% FS)±1 digit max
(For non-standard specifications, see "Specifications" on page A-2
of the Appendix)
• Input resolution: 1/100°C
(Pt 100: Resolution range 0.01°C, -150.00 to 150.00°C is available)
• High-speed sampling and high accuracy / high resolution are simul-
taneously achieved to enable high-accuracy, high-speed control to
match the application.
● Multi-inputs • Wide range of temperature inputs and analog inputs are available.
Temperature inputs :
Thermocouples K, J, T, E, L, U, N, R, S, B, W
Platinum resistance temperature input sensors: Pt 100
Analog inputs: Current inputs: 4 to 20 mA, 0 to 20mA
Voltage inputs: 1 to 5 V, 0 to 5V, 0 to 10V
● Multi-point inputs • A 2-input type and a 4-point input type are available for the E5AR. A
2-point input type is available for the E5ER.
• All multi-point inputs also support multi-input, eliminating the need
for an externally connected converter.
■ Controller
● Banks • Up to 8 banks can be created to store SPs (local SP), alarm values,
and PID set numbers.
• Switch between banks by bank selection (event input, key operation,
or communication).
● PID sets • Up to 8 PID sets can be created to store settings (PID value, MV
limits, and automatic selection range upper limit) for PID control.
