Thyro-A emphasizes space-saving design and power regulation, while the Thyro-A+ provides enhanced integration features and multi-phase options. The Thyro-PX integrates advanced measurement capabilities and mains-load optimization, and the Thyro-PX DC is tailored for B12 and B18 DC systems, with varied cooling choices and easy configuration.
Advanced Energy's Thyro Family of SCR power controller products have been ensuring high product quality in various applications for over 50 years. Renowned for precision and reliability, the Thyro range is indispensable in industrial processes where material melting, heating, drying, or forming are crucial.
- The Thyro-S is specially crafted for transformer loads, offering scalable PLC/PAC integration. This ensures superior thermal process control, allowing connections of up to eight power controllers either to a bus module or the BasicBus Module, supporting various protocols such as Profibus DPV1, CANopen, and more. It's designed for DIN-rail mounting in systems up to 60 A.
- The Thyro-A stands out for its compact design, making installation straightforward. It's capable of regulating power with high precision, manages loads efficiently, and offers seamless integration into existing control setups. With the Thyro-A, customization of alerts, status indicators, and set points becomes straightforward.
- Thyro-A+ takes PLC/PAC integration up a notch. The design prioritizes security by distinctly separating the control and power units. It caters to diverse needs by offering up to five control methodologies and three operating modes, and can be availed in 1-, 2-, or 3-phase versions.
- The Thyro-PX is technologically advanced, featuring a 32-bit micro with a capability of 1.5 M measurements per second at a 15-bit resolution. It's particularly efficient due to its integrated mains-load optimization (dASM) and digital controls. Moreover, its soft-starting mechanism is optimized for operations alongside downstream transformers.
- The Thyro-PX DC, operating in a B6C framework, has been meticulously crafted for seamless functionality within B12 and B18 DC systems. While it boasts options for both air and water cooling based on user preference, this SCR power controller product emphasizes user-friendly integration, allowing for effortless configuration across both B12 and B18 setups, meeting the diverse needs of today's industrial applications.
