Hello All
For a bit of background we've have been using Eurotherm 2208E PID controllers and 2408I indicators for a very, very long time.
I truly like the how modular these devices are. Over the years I have been able to “field configure” these devices into just about every configuration we use.
I use the PID controllers with logic, relay, and analog outputs as well as setting additional outputs for alarming etc…
I’ve use the indicators with analog input, thermocouple inputs and to read a strain gauge. Programming outputs as alarms and retransmitting the process value.
This has given me the ability to purchase a “standard configuration” (that I set up) and then reconfigure as needed with modules purchased either with the device or separately.
Now we are currently working on updating our control systems, SCADA package etc…
I would like to update our PID Controllers as well as the indicators we are using. I would like to hopefully find devices that are just as “field configurable” as the devices we are currently use. Ethernet ip would be a nice bonus as well a good price.
I’m hoping that our community here will be able to suggest models for us to review.
I think so many years using these Eurotherm devices has spoiled me. I am hoping that we’ll be able to update our hardware without losing the flexibility we have become accustom to over so many years.
I appreciate any suggestion that can be thrown my way.
