Overview
The Novatec 04636 Rev N is the primary CPU analog control board for the MCD-1002 resin dryer controller platform. This circuit board forms the core processing and analog control system for drying operations in plastic injection molding and material handling environments. The board manages temperature profiles, sensor inputs, and heating element output to maintain precise drying conditions for resins and engineered polymers.
Key Features
- CPU analog processor architecture for accurate temperature and dew-point control
- Compatible with MCD-1002, MCD-2002, and MCD-3000 control systems
- Supports dewpoint and temperature sensor integration for closed-loop drying
- Phase detection and 3-phase power management capabilities
- Proven reliability in plastic molding facilities and material dryer operations
