Zesta ZEL-4300
Zesta ZEL-4300
The Fuzzy Logic plus PID microprocessor-based controller series, incorporates two bright, easy to read 4-digit LED  displays, indicating the process value and the set point value. The  Fuzzy  Logic  technology enables the process to reach a predetermined set point in the shortest time, with minimum overshoot during power-up or an external load disturbance.

ZEL-9300 is a 1/16 DIN size panel mount controller, ZEL-2500 is a 1/32 DIN size panel mount controller, ZEL-8300 is a 1/8 DIN size panel mount controller, and the ZEL-4300 is a 1/4 DIN size panel mount controller. These units are powered by 11-26 VDC or 90-250 VAC supply, a control relay output is standard. Alternative output options include triac, 5 V logic output, linear current or linear voltage. The units are fully programmable for PT100 DIN as well as thermocouple types J, K, T, E, B, R, S, N and L. The input signal is digitized by using an 18-bit A to D converter. The fast sampling rate allows the unit to control rapidly changing processes.

Digital communications such as RS-485 or RS-232 are available as an additional option. The digital communication feature allows the units to be interfaced with supervisory control systems and software.A programming port is available for automatic configuration, calibration and testing without the need to access the control via the front keypad directly.By using proprietary Fuzzy modified PID technology, the control loop will minimize the overshoot and undershoot in the shortest time. The following diagram is a comparison of results with and without Fuzzy technology.
