Eurotherm recorders introduce 'Master Comms'
Eurotherm have introduced an advanced new communications feature to its Series 5000 Data Acquisition Products, allowing Eurotherm recorders to link with other instruments via a 'Master Comms' link
In addition, the same Ethernet communications facility will shortly be available on other units in the Eurotherm 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 24 VDC 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 since only the communications cable is taken to the User Interface.
The 2500 System incorporates a number of unique 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.
