Applications of the Gefran 1250 controller:

• Plastics & ancilliary equipment: chillers, temperature controllers for fluids
• Autoclaves: for laboratories, goldsmiths
• Packaging: horizontal and vertical wrapping lines, fast wrappers, tunnel ovens for shrink film
• Test benches: tests of material performance and duration, heat stress, ageing

Models 650 - 1250 - 1350 temperature controllers offer the following distinct advantages

An effective configurable operator interface, with configurable messages and customizable combination of display colors.

The innovative portable Zapper configurator for immediate controller configuration even by a non-expert.

Integrated logic functions that simplify the control system by integrating multiple functions in the PID controller.

Monitoring of energy consumption of the zone or of the equipment controlled, with the ability to combine this data with data supplied by the controller for purposes of preventive maintenance.

Flex-view display

The information on the display (colors, messages, alarms, help in line) can be customized, making the HMI more efficient:
Operator messages are configurable. They can be activated by numerous process events, such as: alarm limits attributed to the main variable, to the setpoint, to the remote setpoint, to reading of load currents; from digital inputs, from Function Block outputs.
The colour combination on the display can be customized. Model 1250: the standard colors of the PV-SV-F displays are White-Green-Amber. A different color combination can be evaluated on request.
The variable displayed with the horizontal bargraph of the 1250 is configurable. The following information can be configured:

• % power in output
• timer time
• current levels
• calculated valve position
• programmer time
• energy counter

Help in Line messages for product configuration (English)
Maximum clarity of system diagnostics messages (English)
Colour of the device frame can be customized

Easy setup

Controllers are configurable from the faceplate in very few steps
Configuration with GF Express (from PC) even with the controller off 
Configuration with portable configurator (Zapper) 
Can be done by non-experts! Saves time in multiple setup of controllers with the same configuration.

Logic control block

With 16 Function Blocks (AND – OR – NOT – TIMER), you can develop (program) applications and assign external events (logic inputs) with events or internal states to the PID control function (alarms, setpoint state, etc.). This simplifies the control system by integrating multiple HW components in a single device. It also maintains the advantages of single-loop PID control.
Setpoint Programmer Block
Valve Positioner Block
PID parameters control

Monitoring of energy consumption & preventive maintenance

Energy Monitor lets you display, totalize, and save energy consumption (for example, KWh) of a single device or of a single heating zone.

Maintenance Minder prevents system downtimes and production losses
