Description
The Mini8 Controller offers high performance control usually only found in Eurotherm panel mount PID controllers. It is also a very competitive and compact data acquisition device. Its modular design enables its I/O and feature set to be selected to cater for a wide range of applications from simple to complex.
Eurotherm Mini8 Loop Controller
It is an ideal partner to a PLC. Able to multi-drop on either serial, DeviceNet or Ethernet communications, it offers a cost-effective alternative to performing analog measurement or loop control in a PLC. Implementing these functions in the Mini8 controller helps reduce the cost of a PLC system, relieving it of the burden of performing analog functions, often allowing a lower specification processor to be used.
The Mini8 controller’s feature set is comparable with the Eurotherm EPC3000 programmable controllers including its high performance PID control together with a range of features such as Math, Logic, and Timing blocks. Cascade control function and the ability to use remote I/O with Eurotherm PID blocks extends the control capability.
When used in a data acquisition installation, the controller’s high-density analog I/O can be combined with the Eurotherm 6000 series paperless graphic recorder.
