MULTI-LOOP CONTROLLER OFFERS FOUR LOOPS OF PID CONTROL
Description
Athena Controls, Inc., an industry-leading manufacturer of temperature/process controllers, temperature sensors and related accessories, has announced availability of their new C Series Multi-Loop Controller.
The state-of-the-art controller offers four loops of PID control with cascade and feed forward capabilities for less cost that four separate loop controllers with similar capabilities. The controller is user-configurable and offers universal RTD, T/C, and linear inputs with each PID loop capable of being independently auto-tuned.
Key features and benefits include a small size (4.5" x 7") control board for maximum flexibility in embedded machine design applications; low voltage, energy efficient 24 VDC control board designed to UL508 standards; auto-tune design for simplified tuning of PID algorithms; vertical or horizontal orientations for mounting flexibility; and ambient 0-70°C temperature rating to enable the controller to withstand hot environments.
