The West 8100+ Single Loop Temperature & Process Controller is designed for comprehensive control of temperature and process control loops. It features jumperless configuration and auto-detected hardware, allowing for easy setup and flexibility in various applications. The controller supports multiple control types, including full PID with pre-tune, self-tune, manual tuning, and On-Off control, with options for heat only or heat and cool operations. Input compatibility includes a wide range of thermocouples, RTDs, and DC linear signals, with a high accuracy of ¬±0.1% of input range. The device offers up to three output configurations for control, alarms, and power supply, along with robust alarm functionalities. Communication capabilities include Modbus and ASCII protocols over RS485, facilitating integration into existing systems. The operating environment is rated for temperatures from 0 to 55¬8C and relative humidity from 20% to 95% RH, with front panel protection rated at IP66. The 8100+ is powered by a versatile supply range of 100 to 240V AC or optional DC voltages. Its dimensions are compatible with standard panel cutouts, making it suitable for retrofitting into existing installations. Overall, the West 8100+ is a versatile and reliable choice for engineers seeking a robust temperature and process control solution.
The West 8100+ is part of the Plus Series of controllers that take flexibility and ease of use to new levels.
The 8100+ controller is an evolved product from the N8100. The product benefits from having more versatile features and user-friendly functionalities such as remote setpoint inputs, digital inputs, plug-in output modules, a customisable operator/HMI menu, jumperless and auto-hardware configuration, and 24VDC transmitter power supply.
It has been designed to incorporate improvements, save users’ time (as much as 50% on product set-up), reduce inventory stock and virtually eliminate the likelihood of operator errors.
The 8100+ results in providing a product which surpasses competitive offerings in terms of ease of use, delivery and value for money.
