Fluidwell N414 DIN Panel mount Batch Controller – Modbus RTU

The Fluidwell N414 DIN Panel mount Batch Controller is an advanced instrument designed for precision liquid dispensing and automated batching processes. Featuring a full tactile keyboard and an alphanumeric display, this controller allows operators to easily enter batch quantities and monitor real-time progress, ensuring high operational efficiency in complex industrial environments.

Description

The Fluidwell N414 DIN Panel mount Batch Controller is specifically developed to provide precise control over liquid delivery while maintaining high-speed data communication with central control systems. What sets the N414 apart is its integrated RS485 Modbus RTU communication, which allows for remote batch programming, status monitoring, and data logging. This makes it an essential component for modern smart factories and automated production lines.

Mechanical integrity is a core strength of the N414 series. The enclosure features a unique DIN-sized front panel made from die-cast aluminum. This construction achieves IP66 and IP67 (NEMA Type 4X) ratings, ensuring that the unit is completely waterproof and resistant to total immersion. This level of protection is vital for industries like food processing or chemical manufacturing where equipment is frequently exposed to moisture, dust, and high-pressure cleaning.

Operation is simplified through the alphanumeric display, which provides logical setup prompts and clear process information. The N414 includes an automatic overrun correction function, which intelligently compensates for valve closing delays to maintain consistent batch accuracy. The tactile keyboard is designed for industrial use, providing clear haptic feedback that allows for reliable operation even when wearing heavy gloves.
