1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1. Summary
1.1.1. Profile
The Advanced Power Controllers of the Thyritop 600 series
are self-contained units with the capability of controlling
high electrical power levels for various types of sin-
gle-phase, two-phase and three-phase heating elements.
The controllers allow great flexibility of use in all current and
voltage ratings, from 40 A to 600 A and at nominal voltages
of 480 Vac, 600 Vac and 690 Vac.
They are ideal for accurate, stable temperature control in
industrial heating systems.
Their advanced load control functions allow the manage-
ment of linear resistors with a low thermal coefficient,
non-linear resistors with a high thermal coefficient, infrared
lamps, and single-phase and three-phase symmetrical and
asymmetrical transformers.
Compact mechanics, together with ease of wiring with front
connections and plug-in connectors and easy configuration
methods ensure considerable savings in terms of panel
space and installation time, without sacrificing robustness
and a notable diagnostic capacity.
1.1.2. Control functions
All Thyritop 600 models can be operated in different modes
to adapt to the various control solutions and architectures
found in the field.
The three analogue inputs are highly configurable, so that
both two-phase and three-phase devices can be controlled
with a single command, and each available module can be
controlled individually and independently.
Thyritop 600s can also be operated with digital ON/OFF
controls or in PWM mode, through potentiometers, using
one of the various Fieldbuses that complete the options of
this range.
Flexibility in the control of electrical loads, even very dif-
ferent from each other, is guaranteed by a vast choice of
trigger types, freely configurable on all models.
There is a choice of “Zero Crossing” (ZC) mode with fixed
cycle times or “Burst Firing” (BF) mode with optimised
cycle times, for linear loads and systems with high thermal
inertia.
There is also the option of faster firing modes, such as
“Half Single Cycle” (HSC), which is ideal for handling mid-
wave IR lamps, and of “phase angle” (PA) control, for SWIR
lamps, non-linear heating elements such as silicon carbide,
silicon molybdenum and both single and three-phase trans-
former primaries.
Whichever control configuration is chosen, Thyritop 600
models are able to deliver the desired electrical power, from
0% to 100%, with precision.
The following functions complete the control:
• softstart at power-on,
• current limits settable on both peak values and RMS
values,
• closed-loop feedback algorithms for voltage, current
and power, which guarantee supply stability even in
the presence of variations and disturbances in rated
values.
Some functions of the Thyritop 600 range are designed for
specific applications and problems:
• For systems with three-phase transformers, any
breakages of three-phase load branches are man-
aged by the controller, which provides an immediate
alarm signal while continuing to supply energy to the
two intact phases, allowing the process to remain in a
holding condition.
• In heat treatments with non-linear resistors, such as
silicon carbide, heating elements can be brought up to
temperature with “phase angle” control and active cur-
rent limits, with automatic switching to “zero crossing”
control when the elements are at temperature and there
are no more current peaks, returning to “phase angle”
control automatically only if further peaks reoccur.
• Three-phase transformers are very often used in in-
dustrial furnaces, with symmetrical or asymmetrical
primary/secondary connections. Thyritop 600 control-
lers can manage both types indiscriminately without
any impact on performance.
• Auxiliary voltage (V load) and current (external CT)
inputs allow proper management of all applications
where cable length and transformer type require pre-
cise voltage and current measurement exactly on
the load, regardless of other plant engineering factors.
• In the case of several loads managed by different con-
trollers, there is a need to rationalise and synchronise
the power outputs of the individual controllers so
as to reduce peaks of current/energy supplied instantly
or, in some cases, limit the total value to a settable
maximum. These functions are performed by a special
external controller, the Pyro-ALM, capable of managing
up to 64 controllers and configurable via VNC.
1.1.3. Diagnostics, preventive
maintenance and alarms
Great care has been taken in the development of diagnos-
tic, preventive maintenance and alarm functions that can
be associated with current, voltage and power values and
operating temperatures. The process and power controller
are continuously monitored.
For current values:
• Total or partial interrupted load alarm with alarm
threshold teach-in.
• SCR short circuit alarm.
• Short circuit or surge load alarm.
• Internal fuse breakage alarm.
For voltage values:
• No line voltage alarm.
• Unbalanced three-phase line alarm.
• Indication of incorrect phase rotation in three-phase
systems (without interruption of controller operation)

906121687 «THYRITOP 600»_05-2021_GB_page 6
For temperature values:
• Exclusive continuous temperature measurement of
all power terminals with an alarm for loose terminal
diagnosis.
• Continuous monitoring of the internal temperature of
the power module with automatic disconnection and
an alarm signal in the event of over-temperature.
• Fan output temperature measurement for electrical
panel cooling system efficiency diagnostics.
• Insufficient fan power alarm.
The Pyrotools configuration software also offers an exten-
sive list of additional diagnostic conditions, such as alarm
status storage, for immediate and easy analysis in the event
of a fault.
1.1.4. Configuration
The Thyritop 600 controllers have been designed with var-
ious configuration levels to make initial start-up operations
as simple and intuitive as possible.
The Pyrotools configuration software (freely downloadable
from the Pyrocontrole site www.pyrocontrole.com) has a
“Smart Configuration” procedure to configure the control-
ler through a few targeted questions, with limited need for
knowledge of the parameters and their meanings. At the
end of the procedure (average duration 5 minutes) the con-
troller is ready to pilot the load.
Another section of the software contains the “Wizard” pag-
es, showing the main parameters divided into topics, with a
part of the parameter monitoring always active.
With Pyrotools, you can create and save entire parameter
recipes and easily duplicate them on other devices. Param-
eters can also be monitored and displayed graphically with
the oscilloscope function.
The Thyritop 600 controllers can be equipped with a Tyritop
remote portable programming terminal, powered by the
controller, which permits monitoring of process variables
and changes of configurations, if necessary, via password.
1.1.5. Fieldbus
A Modbus RTU port is always available for connections
with the configuration tool or with HMI or PLC devices
equipped with Modbus Master communication.
An extensive range of certified Fieldbus options lets you
add Thyritop 600 controllers to control architectures with
the most popular PLC brands, allowing you to access any
device variable with standardised configuration files.
These controls can be combined with softstart ramp
functions, with options such as “current limit” to manage
current peaks at switch-on and the RMS current value at
steady state, thus optimising consumption and increasing
the operating life of the load.
1.1.6. More
The availability of phase angle (PA) control (the only control
method that completely eliminates flickering in IR lamps),
combined with current limit and current, voltage or load
power feedback functions, means that “critical” applica-
tions such as Super-Kanthal™ special heating elements, sil-
icon carbide resistors or single and three phase transformer
primaries can be resolved with confidence.
1.2. Field of use
1.3. Technicians and operators
As the Advanced Power Controller can be used in a multi-
tude of installations and environments, adequate technical
training is required to make full use of the instrument’s
potential.
In any event, the instrument must always be used within the
limits indicated in the technical specifications in the accom-
panying documentation.
Regardless of any other consideration, it is always strictly
forbidden to:
• use the instrument or parts of it (including software) for
purposes other than those intended in the accompany-
ing technical documentation;
The Advanced Power Controller must only be used by per-
sonnel qualified for their assigned task, in compliance with
the instructions for the task, particularly the relevant safety
warnings and precautions.
Qualified personnel, due to their training and experience,
are able to recognise the risks involved in use of the instru-
ment and avoid potential hazards.
• modify working parameters not accessible to the
operator, or decrypt or transfer the software or any of
its parts;
• use the instrument in particularly flammable environ-
ments;
• repair or modify the instrument using non-original spare
parts;
• use the instrument or its parts without having read and
correctly interpreted the contents of the accompanying
technical documentation;
• dispose of or discard the instrument in common land-
fills.
In addition, it is assumed that the technicians who commis-
sion the instrument and connect it to other units, and those
in charge of maintenance, have adequate technical knowl-
edge, particularly in the field of electronics and automation,
to fully understand the information provided in this manual.

The two hexadecimal rotary switches are used
to set the address of the module. Available
addresses range from 00...99; hexadecimal com-
binations are reserved.
The tens selector is identified by x10 and the
units selector by x1.

In multi-node operation mode (configuration DIP switch
7 = ON), the selected address is assigned to the Thyritop
600 module only and the expansions, if present, have the
following addresses:
Thyritop 600-E1 = address Thyritop 600 + 1
Thyritop 600-E2 = address Thyritop 600 + 2

1.6. Configuration dip switches
The DIP switches are used to set the configura-
tion of the Advanced Power Controller.
The functions associated with the DIP switches
are:
• DIP switches 1 to 5: configuration of the type of load
connection and presence of a transformer. See para-
graph “1.6.1. Type of load connection” for DIP switch
settings.

• DIP switch 6: loading of the default values for the
configuration selected with DIP switches 1 to 7. See
paragraph “1.6.2. Initialisation procedure and loading
of default values” for the sequence of operations to be
carried out.
• DIP switch 7: multi-node addressing enabled, if ON.
1.6.2. Initialisation procedure and load-
ing of default values
IMPORTANT! After setting the desired configura-
tion with the DIP switches, perform the following
initialisation procedure once.
With the device switched off:
1. Check that DIP switches 1-2-3-4-5-7 are set correctly.
2. Set DIP switch 6 to ON.
3. Power the device with 24 VDC.
4. Wait for the green LED (RUN) to flash regularly.
5. Set DIP switch 6 to OFF.
The configuration is correctly activated.
