INTUITION OS With the Watlow F4T Controller

Now combined with the Watlow-designed INTUITION environment, the Watlow F4T controller has jumped to another evolutionary level in terms of system management. Taking advantage of improved technology, particularly for use in input/output control points, the latest F4T controller combined with the improved graphical user interface (GUI) approach is a light year leap forward.

An Intuitive Visual Approach for System Controller Learning

The latest Watlow F4T model provides a user a sizable 4.3 inch-sized screen that incorporates graphical input and control as well as high-definition clarity. And the Watlow F4T still comes with all the durability and dependability needed for industrial applications and factory floors. However, most importantly, the INTUITION OS system included with the latest F4T controller is likely to make a traditional user manual for reference completely obsolete and a forgotten memory.

                            



A Rainbow Portfolio of Watlow Features Included as Standard

Once installed in its physical location, the Watlow F4T will become immediately apparent in how useful and easier it is to work with as a system controller. Current Watlow controller models come standard with:

  • Temperature readouts and over/under limits
  • Power-switching
  • Mathematical formula input
  • Logic computation capability
  • Counters and timer features
  • Algorithm programming
  • Altitude metrics
  • Humidity metrics
  • Pressure measuring
  • Cascade sensing
  • Multiple communication system format compatibilities, including SCPI, Ethernet Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, and EIA232/485 connections.
  • E-mail and texting alerts to multiple user lists
  • Role-based notification features
  • Variations of alarm conditions
  • Analog input issues

In short, users are going to be overwhelmed with the number of benefits and features the latest Watlow F4T provides over legacy system controllers and analog monitors, as well as the versatility provided with new options in a GUI format that takes touchscreen input.

One of the added advantages of the F4T is that, in providing a modular-capable controller, Watlow also designed the current controller model to be expandable and removable. This allows system managers to be able to flex and move controllers between different complexes and locations as necessary or when phasing in/phasing out old and new equipment. It also makes the Watlow F4T controllers highly recyclable after initial installation and placement.

Ongoing System and Product Support at Your Fingertips

Seagate Controls carries the Watlow F4T and can easily provide online as well as in-person guidance on how to adapt to the GUI INTUITION environment via the F4Ts 4.3-inch screen. However, in our opinion, the system is so easy to work with, it’s likely many system management personnel are going to pick up the knack for the Watlow controller in a matter of minutes. And when the additional advanced features become apparent, the unmatched versatility of the F4T will become truly obvious to the experienced. As with any of Seagate's product lines, our team provides full support, both in helping decide how to utilize the F4T as well as follow-up Watlow equipment and technical support. It's one of the top reasons why customers and clients keep coming back to take advantage of our Seagate-Watlow partnership. Call us at Seagate Controls to find out more and how the Watlow F4T can revamp your systems management.

Ethernet Switching - What You Should Know

  Local Area Networks (LANs) were once accustomed to the use of connectors like repeaters and hubs until Ethernet Switches came to be in the 90s. Connectors, as their title implies, are those additional pieces that make computers possible to connect . But the specific Ethernet Switches function at the OSI model's data link layer 2. Categorized under "network bridges" , these switches are unlike the also known router . With Ethernet switching, information transfer happens to all connected network devices regardless of which is which. With routers, on the other hand, the relay of data is restricted to a specific device in the network. In Ethernet networking technology , the term Bridges could take the place of Switches and the same applies the other way around. Although, a connector must be completely tested and proven to comply with the Ethernet 802.3 networking standard for it to deserve the title of being an Ethernet Switch . Ethernet Switching, although highly simi

Modernization and Eaton VFDs

  System modernization comes with many benefits , but to make it work effectively, a plant must work with the right controls. If hampered with old ones, the advantages of modernization become lost as they go through legacy bottlenecks that are not responsive or able to handle the higher capacity of advanced technology . Breakthrough Mismatches in Systems Eaton VFDs make it easy for companies and system operations to modernize their system controls effectively and in ways that match the expectations of advanced changes. Not only do Eaton VFDs already come with the durability and reliability expected of industrial variable frequency drives in the first place, but Eaton VFDs also add new advantages that directly contribute to saving money, time and resources from legacy waste. Multiple Benefits Available If Configured Correctly Modernization is critical now more than ever. Aside from 2020, production and system support companies are already seeing an exponential increase in automa

Carrying Out Underfloor Heating Maintenance

Electrical underfloor heating is well known for its reliability . The ease of installation , lack of water pipes and reduction in general wear and tear means that there is very little that can go wrong with an underfloor heating system . However, things can go wrong. If you follow these simple steps, your underfloor heating system should give you many years of problem-free, comfortable heat . And if anything does go wrong, problems can be easily located and fixed. Test, test, test If you want to minimise the chances of any future problems you should test the heating system before, during and after installation. Use a multimeter to check the resistance in the system, to ensure a current is going through it and none of the wires have been damaged . Before laying the flooring, switch the system on to ensure it begins to heat up . Any problems with the system should be revealed at this stage. Once the tests have been passed, and the flooring laid, there is very little chance of
