The Mini8 Controller, a very competitive and compact data acquisition device, offers high performance control usually only found in Eurotherm panel mount PID controllers.

Its modular design enables its I/O and feature set to be selected to meet a wide range of applications from simple to complex.

The ideal partner to a programmable logic controller (PLC) is the Mini8 controller. It is able to multi-drop on either serial, Ethernet or Fieldbus communications and it offers a real, cost-effective alternative to performing loop control or analog measurement in a PLC.

By implementing these functions in the Mini8 controller hardware cost is reduced, relieving the PLC of the burden of performing analog functions - often allowing a lower specification processor to be used.

The feature set of the Mini8 controller includes graphical wiring, high performance PID control, and set-point programming functions together with logic, math and timing function blocks.

When used in a data acquisition installation the high density analog I/O can be combined with paperless graphic recorder products, like the Nanodac to provide unsurpassed local and network access to your process.

Highly cost effective, yet easy to integrate and commission, the EFit power controller provides no compromise control for infrared heating and resistive elements.

For simple heating applications it is the perfect fit

Some Industrial processes require precise temperatures in order to comply with regulations and it is imperative that the workpiece temperature is kept within specific limits, such as heat treatment. This may be difficult to achieve in factories where the operation of large machinery can cause fluctuations in the voltage supply. Undesirable temperature fluctuations can be caused by resistive heaters, which may variation up to 10% in the supply voltage and will generate a 20% variation in the power to the load. The EFit contains built in compensation that continues to apply stable power with better than ±2% linearity at the boundaries of the load, even during fluctuations in the supply. The result is repeatable heating process and a reliable high quality end products, which is compliant to demanding heat treatment standards.

It features a broad range of AC and DC command signals with a front face LED to display the input status.  
The solution that will help you to save money!

Mechanical contactors controlling heating elements may operate three million times per year. The lifetime of these contactors is between 1 and 3 years; therefore they need to be replaced regularly during the typical life of an industrial machine.

ESwitch is an interesting solution to solving this problem. The lifetime is significantly extended because the contact is electronic. Its wiring is as simple as for a mechanical contactor and the mounting is very easy: just clip it on a DIN rail! It features a broad range of DC and AC command signals with a front face LED to display the input status to help diagnostics and commissioning.

Extend the life of your heaters

Tests performed by a well-known heater supplier have shown that heaters can last up to 7 times longer when used with a solid state contactor (SSC). Faster on/off cycle times cause less thermal expansion and contraction and thus reduce breakage due to thermo-mechanical stress and fatigue. So by preserving the heating elements, ESwitch will allow you to maximize your return on your investment (ROI):

Increase lifetime of heating elements​
Reduce downtime

Minimize scrap
Improve yield and productivity
By combining security of operations with simplicity of integration, robustness, ESwitch offers the best ratio of performance versus price for the power switches market.

Ideal for
Multi-zone heating
Autoclaves
Ovens
Injection molding
Thermo-forming

"Company executives estimate that the solution will reduce energy costs by improving overall process efficiency by as much as 10%"

Despite the high profile, one point that often evades the spotlight is the amount of energy actually required to produce the world's electricity supplies. Today's economy, energy efficiency - or, more accurately, the lack of it - is a strongly debated topic that incites passions in companies and consumers alike. Those who generate the power, however, are acutely aware of the requirements. They know that to preserve the quality and to control costs and value of their product, the processes for generating and distributing energy must be as efficient and streamlines as possible.

To improve the profitability of its operation and efficiency, one major European electricity provider deployed a solutions centered on Eurotherm's proven EPower controller technology.

Action Efficiency

The EPower controller was installed on a heat treatment furnace at the client's site. In this application, EPower manages the heating elements and regulates power input across the combustion process, combining improved data accuracy with real-time networking and load analysis and communications.

The EPower controller sends live network data and furnace-load directly to the control room, enabling operators to modify their process strategy immediately in accordance with the incoming data feed. Changes made to the control type, load configuration and firing mode all facilitate improved process efficiency.

Increased Efficiency and Safety with Lower costs

Through sophisticated shedding techniques and sharing, EPower's Predictive Load Management (PLM) capability enabled this provider to reduce facility-wide energy costs by providing more efficient distribution across a variety conditions and loads by preventing overshoot of nominal power. EPower enables them to stay within their contract limits.

The customer is additionally avoiding tariffs that could be assessed if stringent government emissions tolerance requirement are not met consistently. The solutions enables accurate record-keeping that provides proof of the provider's compliance. Without these reports, the operation would be in danger of being shut down.

EPower's ability accurately predict continually and, to monitor and adjust to demand is creating more efficient energy production for the customer. Company executives estimate that the solutions will reduce energy costs by improving overall process efficiency by as much as 10%. Because no electrical parts were ever exposed, the configuration also offered a secondary safety benefit, especially to untrained personnel.
