Seagate Controls: The Fundamental Functionality Watlow F4T Temperature Controller
The Fundamental Functionality of the Watlow F4T Temperature Controller
The idea of a Swiss Army Knife is an old one; make a tool that has enough features on it, the tool can be used in most applications one would think of for that tool. Additionally, make it compact so the tool is easy to carry or use, and make it intuitive or at least easy enough to understand. When it comes to temperature controllers, the Watlow F4T is the company’s equivalent to the Swiss Army Knife in their world. And it’s a good thing too; as the world keeps marching forward into integrated equipment and tools that serve multi-function purposes, the F4T is now in an environment with single-purpose controllers being a thing of the past. Multi-function capability is the minimum standard now. Making it easy to use then makes ideal contenders stand out.
Balancing Two High Customer Demands
Flexibility versus intuitive ease of use would seem to be qualities that should go together. However, in the world of electronics, they actually tend to work in the inverse. The greater the flexibility for equipment to work with different systems, the more complex it has to be in terms of design. The easier and more intuitive equipment needs to be for user adaption, the lower the technology involved and the smaller the scale of flexibility in application. Watlow felt it needed to break the mold and do the opposite. So, when designing a temperature controller with the F4T, Watlow developers focused on achieving both goals in the same package.
Packing the F4T Full of Lots of Goodness
It truly is amazing one doesn’t need a rocket science degree to manage the F4T the way that it is built. It comes with a full array of physical I/O options, programmable configurations, an environmental physical operating tolerance of 0 degrees freezing to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, a full graphical view and operating system for visual management, a full portfolio of industry certifications for industrial application, Ethernet compatibility for network connections and all of that is just the starting obvious features included.
