SERIES D8 Controller
Full Featured Controller in an 1/8 DIN Package with DeviceNet™
The Watlow® SERIES D8 is a powerful controller combining performance and flexibility with compact design. The four and eight loop versions provide complete control solutions for a broad range of applications. Each controller includes DeviceNet™ communications, and each loop can be individually configured for on-off control or PID control. Loops can be combined for cascade, ratio and differential control. Process variable retransmit and remote analog set point are also included. The SERIES D8 controller is UL® and C-UL® listed, meets the requirements of the European Community EMC Directive and carrys the CE mark.
