Watlow Electric Controller Series D8 - Manual

S E R I E S D 8
The Watlow SERIES D8 is a powerful line of controllers that
combines performance and flexibility with compact design.
Compliance with the Open DeviceNet™ Vendors Association
(ODVA) and Semiconductor Special Interest Group (SIG)
standards means this controller is easy to integrate into
systems with DeviceNet™ networks on Controller Area
Network (CAN).
The four and eight loop versions of SERIES D8 controllers
provide complete control solutions for a broad range of
applications. Support for multiple types of sensor inputs
including thermocouples, RTDs, linear voltage and current
is also available.
Each loop can be individually configured for on-off control or
PID control. Loops can also be combined to achieve cascade,
ratio or differential control. Process variable retransmit and
remote analog set point are included.
The SERIES D8 controllers are UL ® and C-UL ® listed, meet
the requirements of the European Community EMC Directive
and carry the CE mark.

Features and Benefits
PID control of up to eight loops
• Minimizes panel space per loop
• Reduces installation time
• Increases reliability, fewer parts mean fewer failures
Complies with ODVA and Semiconductor SIG
specifications for DeviceNet™ on CAN
• Integrates with other DeviceNet™ nodes and software
• Provides sealed micro connector for minimal installation
time and footprint and maximum reliability
• Simplifies setup with rotary switches for baud rate and
node address
• Simplifies commissioning and troubleshooting a network
with network and module status LEDs
Menu-guided operation with full text prompts
• Allows quick setup of the controller
• Simplifies operation
Context-sensitive, on-screen help
• Saves time
• Reduces learning curve
Advanced control utilities
• Auto-tune optimizes control with minimal effort and
expertise
• Cascade minimizes overshoot and improves control in
systems with excessive thermal lag
• Ratio and differential enhance control in areas where the
relationship between two or more loops is paramount
