DIN Module Wears Two Hats September 2004 Issue Published Date: September 24, 2004
Offering dual functionality, the DIN-rail mount Mini8 operates as either a 4- or 8-loop PID controller or a 32-input data-acquisition unit. It is said to integrate seamlessly with programmable logic controllers, intelligent I/O, and other supervisory control and monitoring systems. Modular in design, the unit provides four plug-in I/O slots and can be used with a PLC, HMI software, or as a standalone component. Other features include ease of configuration, deterministic response, and auto-tune capabilities. Inputs and outputs are consistently updated at a deterministic 110 ms and are not dependent on the PLC program. EUROTHERM, Leesburg, VA. (703) 443-0000.
