The DigiTrace NGC family:
Central and Local control integrated into one Heat Management System
Centralized temperature control systems are typically typically installed in panels where they provide control and monitoring for several circuits or groups of heat tracing circuits.
They offer advanced features like measuring ground fault levels, operating currents and providing other maintenance related information.Tyco Thermal Controls has now launched two members- central and local control - of a new family of advanced control andmonitoring products designed to meet the industrial customers’ demands for Heat Management Systems.
-
DigiTrace NGC-30: DigiTrace NGC-30, an advanced electronic multi-circuit control, monitoring and power distribution system for industrial heat-tracing applications. This new system is the first of a new family of advanced control & monitoring products designed to meet the industrial customers’ demands for process system control & monitoring.
DigiTrace NGC-20 : The DigiTrace NGC-20 is a field-mounted electronic temperature control system providing local control and central monitoring capabilities for industrial heat-tracing applications. The DigiTrace NGC-20 offers unique features providing the highest level of safety and reliability while enabling true cost optimization of your Heat Management System (HMS).
DigiTrace NGC-30
|
The DigiTrace NGC-30 system can control up to 260 circuits with multiple networked panels. It provides continuous monitoring of temperatures, ground fault, operating currents and voltages where a change in levels indicates potential issues in the field. Upsets are reported to the user with clear messages and alarms on the DigiTrace user interface terminal or remotely using the client-server software package DigiTrace Supervisor™.
The DigiTrace user interface terminal has a state-of-the-art color touch screen and allows convenient central access to all heat-tracing circuits.
The DigiTrace Supervisor ™ client-server software package provides a graphical interface and allows the user to configure and monitor many DigiTrace NGC systems from a central location. Features like alarms, events, data logging, trending, recipes and batching are included, to simplify maintenance of any heat-tracing installation.

DigiTrace NGC-20
|
The DigiTrace NGC-20 offers the benefits of a centralised control system with the benefits of local control. Temperatures, ground fault currents, operating currents and other valuable information
reflecting the integrity of the heat-tracing circuit is monitored and displayed locally and communicated to a central location - to the right person at the right time.
Reducing total installation cost (TIC)
The entire power distribution system benefits from the unique features of the DigiTrace NGC-20. The DigiTrace NGC-20 control unit provides considerable cost savings in power distribution cabling and eliminates RTD wiring without compromises in safety and reliability. For shorter circuits, multiple DigiTrace NGC-20 control units can be daisy-chained to the same circuit breaker, significantly reducing the amount of power distribution cables required to feed the system. By having the control local in the field the size and complexity of the required power distribution panels can be
significantly reduced.
User Interfaces
Monitoring and configuration of the DigiTrace NGC-20 can be done remotely via
the DigiTrace User Interface Terminal (DigiTrace UIT) and/or by using Tyco Thermal Control’s DigiTrace Supervisor software application. Additionally, a wireless hand held device is available offering a means of configuring and
interrogating the electrical heat-tracing system in the field without opening the control unit.
