Ascon

Ascon Technologic is an Italian company specialising in the development and production of electronic measurement and control equipment for industrial process management. Founded in Milan, Italy, the company has grown over more than fifty years into a respected manufacturer of temperature controllers, PID controllers, thyristor-controlled power regulators and data loggers. At Verkopershulp.nl, more than 857 Ascon products are available for direct delivery.

Ascon's core product is the advanced PID temperature controller, available in panel formats from 48x48 mm to 96x96 mm. The M and D series controllers offer auto-tune PID functionality, multiple input types (thermocouple J/K/S/R, PT100, 4-20 mA, 0-10 V), digital and analogue outputs, and serial communication via RS485 Modbus-RTU. The XS series DIN-rail controllers are compact and suitable for control cabinet mounting, while the larger 96x96 mm versions offer extended process visualisation capabilities.

Ascon also delivers power controllers based on thyristor technology (SCR) for driving electrical heating elements. The XT series thyristor power controllers are available in power classes from 8 A to 700 A per phase, providing accurate power regulation via phase angle control or zero-crossing control. These products are widely deployed in industrial ovens, plastics extruders and drying installations.

In addition, Ascon offers signal isolators, signal converters and panel indicators for conditioning analogue signals from measuring instrumentation in industrial process environments. The solenoid valves from Ascon (031SA/041BA/051BB/081SA/081SS series) are direct-acting and pilot-operated valves for pneumatic and hydraulic circuits, available in various port sizes, supply voltages and seal materials for broad media compatibility.

For pneumatic control, Ascon also supplies 2009 series double and single regulator sets, solenoid valves from the MK3 and MK7 ranges, and DIN-rail mounted control valves in various switching functions. Manifold bases (006 series) are DIN-rail mountable valve islands for multiple valve groups.

Ascon X- and M-series controllers are available with optional alarm relays, retransmission outputs (4-20 mA or 0-10V) and RS485/Modbus communication for integration into SCADA and DCS systems. Ascon Manager programming software enables rapid parameterisation of multiple controllers via USB and RS485 connection, significantly accelerating commissioning of multi-zone temperature control installations.

At Verkopershulp.nl you will find the complete Ascon range for direct ordering. Our technical specialists advise on selecting the correct controller, configuration, valve type and communication interface for your specific application.

History

Ascon was founded in Milan, Italy, in the early 1970s as a specialist in electronic process control technology for the manufacturing industry. The company began by developing analog temperature controllers for the industrial market and introduced its first microprocessor-controlled PID controllers in the 1980s for precision temperature control in the food, pharmaceutical and plastics processing industries. In the 1990s, Ascon expanded its range with thyristor-controlled power regulators, solid-state relays and communication interfaces for integration into SCADA systems. Mergers and collaborations with other European manufacturers of process control equipment strengthened Ascon's position as a leading supplier in Southern Europe and the Benelux. Today, Ascon Technologic delivers its products to customers worldwide including the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Ascon temperature controllers are available at Verkopershulp.nl?
We carry the complete Ascon M series and D series PID temperature controllers in panel sizes of 48x48 mm, 72x72 mm, and 96x96 mm. All models are available with relay, SSR, or analog output and optional RS485 Modbus-RTU communication.
How do I configure an Ascon PID controller for my process?
Ascon PID controllers feature an auto-tune function where the controller automatically determines the optimal PID parameters (proportional, integral, differential) based on the dynamic process response. Manual setting is also possible via the front panel buttons or through the serial interface.
What is the difference between phase angle control and zero-crossing control in Ascon thyristor power controllers?
Phase Angle Control regulates power by varying the thyristor firing angle per half wave, resulting in minimal electromagnetic interference but higher harmonics. Zero-Cross control switches complete half waves on or off, providing lower harmonics but more flicker effect at low power levels.
Are Ascon controllers suitable for communication with SCADA systems?
Yes, many Ascon controllers feature RS485 Modbus-RTU communication as standard or optional expansion. Optional communication modules are available for Profibus DP, DeviceNet, and Ethernet Modbus TCP, enabling direct integration into modern SCADA and BMS systems.
What input signals are supported by Ascon PID controllers?
Ascon controllers support a wide range of input signals, including thermocouples type J, K, S, R, T, B, and N, PT100 and PT1000 RTD sensors, as well as standard analog signals of 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, and 0-10 V. All input types are configurable via software without hardware changes.
How quickly does Verkopershulp.nl deliver Ascon products?
Ascon products in stock are shipped the same business day when ordered before 4:00 PM. Delivery in the Netherlands takes 1-2 business days. Less common models are typically delivered within 2-4 weeks through Ascon Technologic in Italy.
Does Ascon also offer ramp/soak programmable temperature controllers?
Yes, the Ascon X4 and D4 series are equipped with programmable ramp/soak profiles that allow complex heating and cooling profiles to be programmed. This is essential for applications such as ceramic sintering, glass forming, and heat treatment of metals.
Are Ascon DIN-rail modules available for control cabinets?
Yes, the Ascon X series DIN-rail signal converters and isolators are designed for mounting in control cabinets and provide galvanic isolation of analog signals. They are available as single-channel or multi-channel units for signal conditioning of thermocouple, RTD, and 4-20 mA signals.
