The Mini8® Controller offers high performance control usually only found in Eurotherm® panel mount PID controllers. It is also a very competitive and compact data acquisition device. Its modular design enables its I/O and feature set to be selected to cater for a wide range of applications from simple to complex.

The Mini8 controller is an ideal partner to a programmable logic controller. Able to multi-drop on either Serial, Fieldbus or Ethernet communications. It offers a cost effective alternative to performing analogue measurement or loop control in a PLC. Implementing these functions in the Mini8 controller reduces the hardware cost of the PLC, relieving it of the burden of performing analogue functions, often allowing a lower specification processor to be used.

The feature set is comparable with the Eurotherm 3000 series panel controllers including its high performance PID control and SP programming functions together with a range of features such as Maths, Logic and Timing blocks.

When used in a data acquisition installation the controller’s high density analogue I/O can be combined with Eurotherm’s 6000 series paperless graphic recorder.
