Product Features
CPC400 series controllers offer high-performance closed-
loop control and user-programmable logic to manipulate
process control algorithms and sequential logic.
The CPC400 provides four or eight independent control
loops with analog inputs—thermocouples, RTDs and pro-
cess. An additional 2 kHz pulse loop is also provided.
When used as a stand-alone controller, you may operate
the CPC400 via the two-line 16-character display and
touch keypad. You can also use it as the key element in a
computer-supervised data acquisition and control system.
The CPC400 can be locally or remotely controlled via an
EIA/TIA-232 or EIA/TIA-485 serial communications inter-
face.
