Invensys Operations Management: Multi-Loop Controller with Ethernet/IP Communications

Sept. 1, 2012
The Eurotherm Mini8 multi-loop PID Controller works well with a PLC in multi-loop PID applications.

Part of the company's open-communication InFusion enterprise control system, this controller supports serial, fieldbus and Ethernet protocols, including EtherNet/IP, making it easy to interface to intelligent masters such as a programmable logic controllers. A cost-effective way to design and implement accurate control loops in a PLC, the controller provides better performance and easy configuration while offering the same deterministic response and autotune feature as the company's other panel-mount controllers, and can be easily integrated into the wider plant network, including other third-party systems. It integrates easily through Ethernet/IP; reduces engineering costs through using a dedicated PID device that enables quick and easy set-up of multi-loop and complex control strategies using pre-defined function blocks; and improves control performance by removing the burden of running complex control algorithms within a PLC. Input accuracy is ±0.1% or better, and the unit calibrates through pre-defined routines.
