Supported Applications

The Omega CN616A-Series is a 1/4 DIN, 6-zone universal input autotune ramp and soak controller. Designed for multi-loop control applications, the series provides programmable temperature profiles with ramp and soak capabilities.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The CN616A-Series features a compact 1/4 DIN form factor suitable for panel mounting in industrial automation environments. As a universal input controller, it accepts multiple sensor types to manage process variables across six independent zones or loops.

Key Functional Attributes

  • Housing Size: 1/4 DIN
  • Zones: 6-zone control capability
  • Input Type: Universal input configuration
  • Control Features: Autotune, ramp and soak programming

Configuration Options

The series is available in specific power configurations to accommodate different installation requirements. The documented variants include models with distinct suffixes indicating their electrical interface.

Available Models

  • CN616A: Standard configuration variant.
  • CN616A-DC: Variant designated for DC power applications.

The series supports 6-zone control logic, allowing engineers to program complex thermal cycles involving multiple temperature setpoints and time durations within a single unit. The universal input capability allows flexibility in sensor selection without requiring separate hardware families for different transducer types.

Key Product Differences

The primary distinction between the enumerated variants lies in their power supply designation, as indicated by the model suffixes CN616A and CN616A-DC. Both models share the same 1/4 DIN footprint and core functionality of providing autotune ramp and soak control across six zones.

Specific electrical ratings, accuracy specifications, output types, communication protocols, and detailed dimensional data are not provided in the current source bundle for this series code. Selection should be based on the confirmed universal input architecture and 6-zone programmable capability documented here.

An internal output power supply provides 5Vdc and 25mA. External output power source voltage range is 3.3-36Vdc, and what is the current rating for the external power supply? thanks

Asked by: AnnaH
Thank you for the inquiry. External power supply should be rated to at least 3 watts. Best regards OMEGA

What output signals does the controller produce and how do you power the LV series heaters.

Asked by: LArrow
Thank you for your inquiry. This unit has an Internal Control Output Voltage: 5Vdc @25mA per channel which will trigger DC Controlled Solid State Relay whether it controls a AC or DC Load.

Will software previously written for the CN616 run on the new CN616A?

Asked by: DPSdave
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately no, but we have a brand new software for CN616A. Omega provides software for the user to work with CN616A out of the box. For setup and configuration, we offer Omega Sync. For long term data logging and integration, you can use OEG. Please contact our Tech Support team if you have any further questions.
