Watlow PPC-2000 is a high-performance modular multi loop PID control system designed specifically for high-precision, multi-channel heat treatment or process control applications. The system supports up to 48 independent PID control loops and can modularly expand digital I/O, analog input, and encoder interfaces to meet complex industrial automation requirements. This document is based on the PPC-2000 User Guide and provides a detailed introduction to its system architecture, hardware installation, software configuration, adaptive control functions, and troubleshooting methods.
The Watlow MLS (Modular Loop System) controller is a modular, high-precision multi loop PID control system designed specifically for complex industrial process control. It provides 16 or 32 independent PID control loops, achieving high-performance applications from simple switch control to complex cascade control, slope/insulation programs through flexible combinations of analog input modules (AIM), processor modules (PM), and remote terminal boards (RTB). This document is based on the official user guide and provides a detailed overview of the MLS system's component architecture, mechanical installation specifications, electrical wiring standards, system configuration, and troubleshooting methods. The aim is to provide engineers with a complete set of deployment and configuration references.
The Watlow Anafaze 8LS controller is a powerful 1/4 DIN size industrial grade controller designed specifically for complex process control. It provides 8 completely independent PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) control loops, which can directly connect various industrial sensors, including thermocouples (T/C), thermistors (RTD), and infrared non-contact sensors. This guide will provide a detailed overview of the technical specifications, mechanical installation, electrical wiring, programming settings, PID tuning, and troubleshooting methods of the 8LS controller, helping engineers and technicians quickly master the deployment and application of the equipment.
The Watlow Anafaze System 32, introduced in the late 1980s, remains a cornerstone of legacy industrial process control. Designed as a high-density measurement and control system, it provided a modular approach to multi-loop PID control that was ahead of its time. At the heart of this system lies the Processor I/O Module (PIOM), which coordinates the data flow between analog inputs and control outputs.
