2. Specificații de bază

3. Funcții cheie (Main Differences Between Limit Controller & Normal PID Controller)
4. Over-limit Latching Protection: When the measured value exceeds the set limit value, the relay actuates and latches. Manual reset is required for recovery. Applied for over-temperature safety cut-off of ovens, furnaces and heat treatment equipment (safety temperature limiter).
5. Universal sensor input supporting thermocouples, RTDs and analog signals.
6. Sensor break detection: TC/RTD break triggers alarm output.
7. Password-protected parameters to prevent unauthorized modification of limit values on site.
8. No PID automatic regulation. Only upper / lower limit safety protection (cannot be used for continuous temperature regulation).
9. Scenarii tipice de aplicare

Over-temperature safety protection loops for industrial ovens, heat treatment furnaces, aging test chambers, environmental chambers, boiler auxiliaries, plastic extruders and food baking equipment. Often used together with conventional PID temperature controllers (PID controller handles regulation; DC120L serves as independent safety temperature limiting).

5. Instalare & Ghid de cablare
6. Panel snap-in mounting, max panel thickness 6mm; keep heat dissipation gaps front and rear.
7. Relay contacts are dry contacts with external load power supply. Do NOT connect high voltage to instrument internal terminals.
8. Route sensor cables separately away from power cables to reduce interference.
9. Unlock via password before commissioning to modify temperature limits. Manual key reset is required after latch activation.
10. Alternativă / Optional Models
11. Aceeași serie: Other DC120L suffix versions (DC120L10011000 with RS485 communication)
12. Alternative interne: Yudian AI series limit controllers, Hongrun NHR-1100 (funcții similare, latch logic needs verification)
13. Legacy Honeywell replacement: DC1000 series limit type (gradually phased out)
14. Depanare comună

Sensor error displayed: Check TC/RTD polarity, wire breakage and cold junction compensation.

No latch after over-limit: Confirm function mode is set to Limit latch mode instead of ordinary alarm mode.

Relay fails to actuate: Verify contact load rating, terminal wiring and instrument power supply.

Parameters cannot be modified: Instrument password locked, enter unlock password.

Tabel de comparație: Honeywell DC120L (UDC120L10001000) vs UDC1202 PID Temperature Controller

Selection Recommendation Summary

1. Equipment requiring safety redundancy, hard over-temperature cut-off and fault latching: Dual-instrument scheme: UDC1202 (main temperature control) + DC120L (independent temperature limit) (widely used for heat treatment, ovens and aging chambers)
2. Only conventional constant temperature control required with no mandatory safety latch requirement: Select UDC1202 directly
3. Only over-temperature protection required without automatic temperature control: Select DC120L alone

Linear Analog: 4~20mA, 0~20mA, 0~10V, 1~5V

3. Core Function Description
4. Limit Latch Protection【Core Feature】

When measured PV exceeds setpoint SP, relay actuates and latches in trip state. No automatic recovery upon temperature drop; manual key reset required. Meets hard cut-off safety requirements for ovens and heat treatment furnaces.

Configurable for high limit or low limit mode.

2. Sensor Break Diagnosis

Breakage of thermocouple, RTD or 4-20mA signal triggers limit output action to prevent runaway caused by sensor failure.

3. Parameter Password Lock

Parameter menu protected by password to prevent unauthorized modification of safety limit values. Password unlock required to edit SP, input type and latch mode.

4. Dual 4-digit LED Display

Upper screen: PV real-time measured value; Lower screen: SP set limit value. Status LED indicates output/alarm/latch status.

5. No PID Automatic Control

This instrument has no PID regulation function and cannot act as primary temperature controller. It serves only for independent safety over-limit protection, forming dual-loop safety temperature control system when paired with UDC1202 PID controller.

4. Definiția cablajului terminalului (DC120L Basic Version)

Notă importantă: Relay contacts are passive dry contacts. Do NOT connect load power supply to instrument internal power terminals.

1. L, N: Instrument power supply, 90~264VAC
2. Sensor input terminals: Termocuplu / Pt100 / 4-20mA
3. Main output relay: COM comun, NU deschis în mod normal, NC normal închis

Typical wiring: Use NC normally closed contact. Contact closes under normal temperature; opens upon over-temperature latch to cut heating circuit.

Wiring Recommendation: Use shielded twisted pair for sensor cables, routed separately from power cables to reduce interference.

11. Safety Notes
12. This instrument is a safety limit protection device, cannot be used alone for process temperature control.
13. External contactor is recommended for safety circuit. Relay contact capacity is limited and cannot directly drive high-power heating loads.
14. Periodic over-temperature test on safety circuit is required to verify latch trip function.
15. Disconnect power before instrument disassembly and wiring, comply with local electrical safety regulations.
