Omron, E5GC Series

New Value For Control Panels

Control Panels: The Heart of Manufacturing Sites.
Evolution in control panels results in large evolution in production facilities.
And if control panel design, control panel manufacturing processes, and human interaction with them are innovated, control panel manufacturing becomes simpler and takes a leap forward.
OMRON will continue to achieve a control panel evolution and process innovation through many undertakings starting with the shared Value Design for Panel *1 concept for the specifications of products used in control panels.

*1 Value Design for Panel
Our shared Value Design for Panel (herein after referred to as "Value Design") concept for the specifications of products used in control panels will create new value to our customer’s control panels.
Combining multiple products that share the Value Design concept will further increase the value provided to control panels.

The Leading Temperature Controllers in the Control Panel Evolution

Greater downsizing and higher performance in control panels and other equipment

• A wide range of lineup to handle various control panel/equipment sizes.
• Advanced control performance to help increase equipment speed and yield.

Greater efficiency from designing to assembly and operations

• Saves your work in each process from designing to operation of control panels and other equipment.

Innovating control panel and equipment usability

• Wide viewing angle and high-contrast LCD for high visibility.
• Reduces the workload of entering set values on-site.

Certified for main safety standards.

A wide range of lineup to handle various control panel/equipment sizes

Save Space with a Compact Body That’s Only 60 mm in Depth

A short body that’s 77% of our previous model has been achieved.
This makes the Controller applicable in tight spaces with limited depth.

Help Reduce Panel Space

Even with the 48 × 24 size, OMRON has achieved a PV display character height of over 10 mm and dual displays for the present value and set point.
This enables compact panels that are easy to read.

Equal Operability as On-panel Controllers Plus Space-saving Layouts inside Control Panels

The unified operability of the E5[]C Series in a DIN Track-mounting Controller that is 22.5 mm wide.
You can achieve space-saving layouts in control panels.

Push-In Plus Terminal Blocks Enables Horizontal Group Mounting Easily

With Push-In Plus terminal blocks, wiring is performed from the back, which facilitates using horizontal group mounting, to achieve compact panel surfaces.

Advanced control performance to help increase equipment speed and yield

High-speed Control to Maximize Equipment Performance

Performing autotuning (robust tuning) once achieves high-speed control to reach 350°C in approx. 3 seconds.*
You get stable control without overshooting.

Robust tuning(RT) : Used with heaters whose temperature increases quickly to automatically set the optimum PID constants.

Stable Control to Help Increase Yield

Stable control is achieved even for hard-to-control water-cooled extruders with tuning for water cooling.
Stable control also means that you’ll save energy.

Tuning for water cooling : Uses a tuning algorithm designed for water cooling, which is different from normal cooling methods, to automatically set the optimum PID constants for water cooling.

Greater efficiency from designing to assembly and operation

Innovating control panel and equipment usability

Easy Display Confirmation On-site.

Big white characters on a black background achieve superior visibility. Operator movement distances are minimized to help increase work efficiency.

High-contrast displays enable easier confirmation regardless of ambient lighting conditions.

A wide viewing angle was achieved with the LCDs to enable easy confirmation of the PV.

Reduces the workload of entering set values on-site.

Functions are provided to reduce work in operating and changing settings for the Controllers.
Just press the shift key (<<PF) to move the digit. This simplifies numeric entry at worksite.

CX-Thermo Functions

Use parameter masks to display only the required parameters. The time required to change settings, such as for changeovers, is greatly reduced.
