Connection to PLCs and PC supervisory packages is made easy with the 2048f Probibus-DP controllers. Available in 1/8 DIN and 1/4DIN panel sizes, they provide independent front-end control, thereby ensuring the most efficient possible communications. Unlike other products, the design is not a gateway, but uses a direct connection to the Microprocessor bus of the controller, thereby ensuing the most efficient possibble communications. A Windows configurator sets up the controller parameters that are mapped into the PLC register. This allows the ladder logic or control program to read and write to the controller as though it were an internally fitted module. High stability control with an extensive range of control options are the attributes of the 2408f One-shot and continously adaptive tuning optiimises control performance without the need for specialist knowledge or training. A modular build accommodates a range of plug-in I/O modules Ideal for: Plastics extrusion Wire extrusion Backing conveyor ovens Packing lines Conveyor furnaces Features: Advanced PID control Single loop interity Local operator display No PID programming in PLC processing time Direct interface to temerature sensors Plug-in from front Three year warranty
