Built-in IPS option for stepper coldroom panel

UK: Resource Data Management (RDM) has launched a new Stepper option with IPS for its coldroom panel range. 

The new hardware variants, come with a built-in Internal power store so that in the event of a power failure, power is supplied to the stepper coldroom panel to close the stepper valve fully.

The stepper coldroom panel is designed to operate low, medium, and high-temperature cold rooms via the control of a motorised stepper expansion valve. It is based on technology currently found within RDM’s PR0150 coldroom control panel range, with the addition of hardware and software to facilitate the control of a stepper expansion valve, including the Parker SER AA to D range. 

In addition to the IPS, the new hardware variant also features a direct pressure transducer connection. Optionally integrated networking options allow users to connect a stepper coldroom controller directly to a network without the need for an additional interface module. Integrated connectivity options include Ethernet IP or RS485 (Genus protocol).
