This versatile controller offers the high-performance control typically found in Eurotherm® by Watlow panel mount PID controllers, but in a more economical and space-saving package.

Modular Design

This enables the input/output (I/O) and feature sets to be tailored to a wide range of applications, from simple to complex. This flexibility makes the Mini8™ an ideal partner for programmable logic controllers (PLCs). By offloading analog measurement and loop control tasks to the Mini8, you can significantly reduce the hardware costs of your PLC, often allowing for a less powerful processor to be utilized.

Remarkable Accuracy

One of the standout features of the Mini8 controller is its enhanced Thermocouple input board (ET8), which boasts a remarkable +/-0.25°C Cold Junction Compensation (CJC) accuracy. This ensures improved input precision and allows the controller to handle more loops within a single unit. It is also equipped with more processing power, additional function blocks, and faster communication capabilities, ensuring your processes are managed efficiently and accurately.

Flexible Communications

The Mini8 device supports a wide array of communication protocols, including serial, fieldbus, and Ethernet. This makes integration with existing systems seamless and provides robust data acquisition capabilities, delivering unparalleled local and network access to your processes. Furthermore, with its built-in support for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and cybersecurity best practices, the Mini8 helps fortify your infrastructure against potential cyber threats while enhancing your automation strategies.

High-Performance PID Control 

In terms of control, the Mini8 shines with precision PID control, graphical wiring, and setpoint programming functions. It incorporates advanced math, logic, and timing function blocks, providing comprehensive control over your processes. Whether you’re looking to implement cascade control, load diagnostics, or utilize user-defined wiring, the Mini8 has you covered.

Versatility and Robustness:

  • I/O Channels: up to 32 Input / Outputs
  • Operating voltage: 24V DC
  • IP Rating: IP20

Unmatched Accessibility

When used in conjunction with 6000 Series paperless graphic recorder products, the Mini8 offers exceptional data acquisition installation capabilities, providing unmatched local and remote process accessibility.

For those seeking a reliable, cost-effective solution for process automation and data acquisition, the Eurotherm® by Watlow Mini8™ Loop Controller is the perfect choice, combining high performance with unmatched flexibility and ease of integration.
