Connection to PLCs and PC supervisory packages is made easy with the 2408f profibus-DP controllers. Available in 1/8 DIN and 1/4 DIN panel sizes, they provide independent front-end control of temperature and other process variables without any compromise in performance. Unlike other products, the design is not a gateway, but used a firect connection to the microprocessor bus of the controller, thereby ensuing the most efficient possible communications. A Windows configuration 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 extansive range of control options are the attributes of the 2408f One-shot and continuously adaptive tuning optimises control performance without the need for specialist knowledge or training.
