New Product: Eurotherm EPC2000 Single Loop Process Controller

The Eurotherm EPC2000 is ideal for applications, where you need a programmable single loop temperature, or process controller.

The EPC2000 is a highly cost-effective solution as it does not sport any display panels, or HMI panels that you may not need. However, it is compatible with Eurotherm’s Proface HMI touch panels. So, it is a highly flexible solution that suits many different applications.

Improved Quality, Reduced Scrap, Increased Profits

The Eurotherm EPC2000 gives you precise control and measurement performance.

You will enjoy a fast PID response, with minimal overshoot and oscillation, resulting in a high degree of control accuracy of the temperature, or process.  Precise repeatable control improves the quality of the end product and reduces waste.

There is a convenient multi-programmer function, with up to 20 multi-step sequences. So the EPC2000 can be used to control relatively complex processes.

Eurotherm’s user function block wiring with optional maths, logic, totaliser and specialised functions enable you to use the EPC2000 to control additional system functions beyond PID control.

Lower Equipment and Maintenance Costs

The Eurotherm EPC2000 is DIN rail mountable and is simple to install, commission and replace.

There is no battery, so you don’t have to worry about monitoring battery levels. Yet the design is highly robust and offers excellent reliability in demanding environments and highly regulated industrial processes.

Eurotherm’s iTools software makes configuration and commissioning a relatively simple task. So is re-configuration, making the EPC2000 easy to adapt in line with your changing needs. Reduced installation, configuration and commissioning time vastly reduces installation and ongoing maintenance costs.

Try Before You Buy

Eurotherm’s iTools can be downloaded for free from the ADM Instrument Engineering website. It can be used as a simulator and training tool, giving you the opportunity to test if the EPC2000 is going to be the right solution for your application.

Communications

The EPC2000 features a dual Ethernet switch, which gives you high-speed Ethernet connection, with an integral switch for daisy chain connection to supervisors, panels or PLCs.

There is also a serial port for added connectivity.

Inputs and Outputs

The available inputs and outputs are detailed in the below table.

The universal input is precise (0.1%) with a 50ms sample rate. This can be used for thermocouples, resistance thermometers, as well as mA, mV and V output devices.
