Product Features
D8 series controllers offer high-performance closed-loop control. The D8 provides four or eight
independent control loops with analog inputs—thermocouples, RTDs and process—and features
DeviceNet™ communications. When used as a stand-alone controller, you may operate the D8
via the two-line 16-character display and touch keypad. You can also use it as the key element
in a computer-supervised data acquisition and control system. The D8 can be locally or remotely
controlled via its DeviceNet™ communications interface.
D8 features include:
•
Direct Connection of Mixed Thermocouple Sensors:
Connect most thermocouples to
the controller with no hardware modifications. Thermocouple inputs feature reference junction
compensation, linearization, offset calibration to correct for sensor inaccuracies, detection of
open, shorted or reversed thermocouples, and a choice of Fahrenheit or Celsius display.
•
Accepts Resistive Temperature Detectors (RTDs):
Use 3-wire, 100Ω, platinum,
0.00385-curve sensors. Special inputs must be installed.
•
Automatic Scaling for Linear Analog Inputs:
The D8 series automatically scales process
inputs used with industrial process sensors. Enter two points, and all input values are
automatically scaled. Special inputs must be installed.
•
Dual Outputs:
The D8 series includes both heat and cool control outputs for each loop.
Independent control parameters are provided for each output.
•
Independently Selectable Control and Output Modes:
Set each control output to on/off,
time proportioning, Serial DAC (digital-to-analog converter) or distributed zero crossing mode.
Set up to two outputs per loop for on/off, P, PI or PID control with reverse or direct action.
