Controller in a

1⁄8 DIN Package

with DeviceNet™

The Watlow SERIES D8 is a powerful line of controllers that combines performance and flexibility with compact design. Compliance with the Open DeviceNet™ Vendors Association (ODVA) and Semiconductor Special Interest Group (SIG) standards means this controller is easy to integrate into systems with DeviceNet™ networks on Controller Area Network (CAN).

The four and eight loop versions of SERIES D8 controllers provide complete control solutions for a broad range of applications. Support for multiple types of sensor inputs including thermocouples, RTDs, linear voltage and current is also available.

Each loop can be individually configured for on-off control or PID control. Loops can also be combined to achieve cascade, ratio or differential control. Process variable retransmit and remote analog set point are included.

The SERIES D8 controllers are UL® and C-UL®listed, meet the requirements of the European Community EMC Directive and carry the CE mark.
