How to use this chapter:
The Watlow 988 family of controllers
can be used in an almost infinite
variety of applications, in part be-
cause the inputs, outputs and many
other attributes can be factory config-
ured to match the requirements of
many different processes. A control-
ler's model number contains this
factory configuration information.
This chapter will guide you through
the process of optimizing your appli-
cation with a Series 988 controller
and determining the correct model
number.
Make one or more copies of the work-
sheet on page 7.10 and any other
pages you want to write on. Then sit
down with scratch paper and a pencil
and carefully work through the steps
to determine the best configuration
for your application. Use the "Helpful
References" listed in the left column
of each page.
When you finish, you will have a
completed diagram showing how your
application can be controlled by a
Series 988 controller and a model
number for the proper controller
configuration.
