New 32 zone PID module first to offer "drag and drop" configuration and downloadable comms for dedicated control outside of the PLC.

Red Lion Controls announces the CSPID2 Dual PID Module designed for the popular Red Lion Modular Controller.

The CSPID2 Module is the first to offer the convenience of "drag and drop" configuration and downloadable PLC drivers in a high density, 32 zone/single node module for dedicated PID control outside of the PLC.

"The CSPID2 Module makes integration of dedicated PID control much easier to apply," said Jesse Benefiel, Product Manager.

"Drag and drop configuration and downloadable PLC drivers eliminate writing PLC protocols and lets users quickly integrate with any PLC", Benefiel added, "With two PID loops per module, a single master can accommodate up to 32 loops, saving space and greatly reducing total comms scan time compared to discrete node solutions".

Applications for the CSPID2 Module include plastic extrusion, vacuum forming and blow moulding, packaging equipment, heat treating, and others - particularly where real time multi-zone temperature control is critical.

The CSPID2 Module is designed for the Red Lion Modular Controller Series.

The compact Controller design offers DIN-rail mounting, hot swappable modules for quick replacement, and storage of module configuration data that automatically configures replaced modules.

Integrated RS-485 and RS-232 eliminates the need for serial converters, and 10-BaseT Ethernet provides communications for networked systems.
