Product Details
L91 Limit Controller
Compact Safety for Temperature Protection
Designed for industrial over-temperature monitoring and alarm safety
The L91 from BrainChild is a microprocessor-based limit controller engineered for precise over-temperature protection in industrial systems. With universal input compatibility (TC, RTD, voltage, current), latching relay output, and dual display interface, the L91 ensures fast and reliable safety responses. Its output flexibility includes relay, SSR, or TRIAC, while Output 2 supports expansion to alarms, Modbus communication, or analogue retransmission.
Real-Time Display with Function Keys
Monitor PV, outputs, alarms, and status at once
The L91 panel adopts a compact yet efficient layout, featuring a high-visibility 4-digit red LED display to present real-time process values. The four-key interface includes Scroll, Up, Down, and Reset (R) buttons, allowing users to navigate menus, adjust parameters, and reset alarms efficiently. The Reset key also supports unlock/confirm actions via long press. The panel further includes a LOCK status LED, which secures access against unauthorized configuration changes.
Universal Input Compatibility for Accurate Monitoring
Supports TC, RTD, Voltage, Current, and mV Signals
The L91 is equipped with a high-precision 18-bit A/D converter and supports a wide variety of input signals including thermocouples (J, K, T, E, B, R, S, N, L), RTDs (PT100 DIN and JIS), low voltage (mV), standard voltage (0–1V, 0–10V), and current (0–20mA). With a sampling rate of 5 times per second (200ms), it ensures rapid response and stable measurement. Additional protections such as sensor break detection and programmable digital filtering enhance system reliability and measurement stability.
L91 Features:
- 4-digit LED display with status icons
- Lockout function for secure operation
- 1/16 DIN compact panel mounting
- Sampling rate: 5 times per second
- Output 2 supports alarm, RS-485, power, retransmit
- Alarm annunciator and event input available
- Modbus RTU protocol support via RS-485
- 18-bit A/D resolution for high precision
- Output indicators (OP1, OP2), °C/°F display
