Most advanced controller ever from Eurotherm
The latest addition to Eurotherm's Series 2000 family of process and temperature controllers is an powerful multi-function controller/programmer available in a single, dual or three-loop format.
In addition, the same Ethernet communications facility will shortly be available on other units in Eurotherm's 2000 Series family of discrete panel-mount temperature and process controllers.
The 2500 is a high performance controller able to run up to eight PID control loops, with advanced features such as mathematical and combinational logic functions.
The product line consists of a base (rack), processor, terminal units, plug-in I/O modules and an externally mounted 24V DC power supply.
Six base sizes allow for up to 64 analogue and 128 digital inputs and outputs.
DIN rail or panel mounting allows the unit to be mounted where the control action is required, minimising the cost of the wiring as only the communications cable is taken to the user interface.
The 2500 system incorporates a number of hardware and software innovations to provide accurate, reliable PID process control functions with communications capability, plus exceptionally flexible system design, configuration and operation.
The system provides both OEMs and plant operators with powerful local analogue control capabilities.
