Nelson™ Heat Trace CM3 Circuit Management System

Nelson™ Heat Trace CM3 circuit management system provides a compact, tightly integrated, factory assembled/tested solution for high density plant locations. The unit is based on a standard PLC platform, specifically integrated for use with electric heat trace systems. The CM3 provides temperature monitoring and control of the trace heating system. It automatically checks the health of the trace heating system. Negative trends are noted on a maintenance pending list, while more severe problems are removed from service and alarmed. Integrated distribution is available within Type CM3 PLC Based Circuit Management System with Distribution.

Features

  • Temperature control: An RTD based temperature control function optimizes energy consumption, while maintaining temperature control. High and low temperature alarms will alert you to any upset conditions that could cause problems with your processes.
  • Heat Trace ground fault protection: The system provides continuous monitoring of ground fault conditions with each circuit, eliminating the need for expensive ground fault protection branch circuit breakers.
  • Predictive maintenance system: Ground fault and load current values are compared to earlier values. Any discrepancies will get that circuit put on a maintenance log alert system. This allows the limited maintenance resources to be optimally deployed.
  • Heat Trace power output monitoring: Adjustable high and low load current alarms for each heat trace circuit provide a constant monitor of the power output of each heat tracer. These identify a low current or high current, warning you of adverse changes.
  • Automatic testing: The system will continuously test the system, even when it is not in use allowing any problems to be identified as they occur. The unit turns each circuit on at selected intervals and checks for ground fault leakage and load currents.
  • Features include optimized process control temperatures, energy conservation, elimination of separate ground fault branch circuit breakers, automated trace heater monitoring, predictive maintenance monitoring
  • Interface: Color touch screen operator interface. Displays all alarms, actual temperature, heat trace circuit status- on or off, actual heat trace ground fault and load currents and all set points. Global programming. Intuitive, easy to navigate.
  • Global programming: Intuitive, easy to navigate. Automated monitoring. Testing of heat trace circuit - voltage, current, ground fault. Predictive maintenance, trend monitoring of heat trace.
