SERIES D8 Controller
Temperature Controller, Process ControllerFull Featured Controller in an 1/8 DIN Package with DeviceNetTM

The Watlow SERIES D8 is a powerful controller combining performance and flexibility with compact design. The four and eight loop versions provide complete control solutions for a broad range of applications. Each controller includes DeviceNetTM communications, and each loop can be individually configured for on-off control or PID control. Loops can be combined for cascade, ratio and differential control. Process variable retransmit and remote analog set point are also included. The SERIES D8 controller is UL® and C-UL® listed, meets the requirements of the European Community EMC Directive and carrys the CE mark.Controller with DeviceNet

Features Benefits
  • PID control of up to eight loops
  • Minimal panel space per loop
  • Reduced installation time
  • More reliable, fewer parts means fewer failures
  • Complies with Open DeviceNetTM Vendors Association (OVDA) and Semiconductor Special Interest Group (SIG) specifications for DeviceNetTM on Controller Area Network (CAN)
  • Integrates with other DeviceNetTM nodes and software
  • Sealed micro connector minimizes installation time and footprint while maximizing reliability
  • Rotary baud rate and node address switches simplify setup
  • Network and module status LEDs simplify commissioning and troubleshooting a network
  • Flexible, easy-to-use interface
  • Easy setup with menu guided, full-text prompts
  • Context-sensitive, on-screen help saves time
  • Multiple and mixed inputs including thermocouples, RTDs, linear voltage, current and frequency
  • Easy to change sensor types at the last minute
  • Less to learn, less inventory
  • Advanced control capabilities
  • Auto-tune optimizes control with minimal effort and expertise
  • Cascade minimizes overshoot and improves control in systems with long thermal lag
  • Ratio and differential enhance control in areas where the relationship between two or more loops is paramount

Applications
  • Electronics and semiconductor equipment
  • Life sciences
  • Packaging
  • Plastics
  • Processing industries
