The Model 2500 is a DIN rail mounted multi-loop controller and data acquisition system that is the latest addition to Eurotherm’s field proven Series 2000 controllers. Over 1750 IOC's and 10,000 I/O modules have shipped signifying industrial automation market acceptance.

The 2500 is a high performance controller able to run multiple single and compound loops enabling self-tuning, cascade and gain scheduling. Advanced features include mathematical functions and combinational logic.

The product line consists of a base (rack), processor, terminal units, plug-in I/O modules and an externally mounted 24 VDC power supply. Three base sizes allow for up to 32 analog and 64 digital inputs and outputs.

DIN rail mounting allows the 2500 to be mounted where the control action is required, minimizing the cost of the wiring since only the communications cable is taken to the User Interface.

The 2500 may also be mounted directly onto the machine, saving the cost of control enclosures. A four slot base is capable of four loops of PID control. Two analog inputs and two analog outputs plus 8 digital I/O takes only 5" x 7" of panel space. The 2500 system is configured using Eurotherm’s iTools software package.

The 2500 can be also be used as remote I/O for the Model 2604 and 2704 controllers. This permits the use of more sensor inputs that can be used in a: min/max/average/switch-over mode in an application.

This product was designed to be used with a display device running a Modbus RTU or Profibus DP (and DP V1) master communications interface, such as the Eurotherm T2900/T800, PC based software packages, or a PLC. Up to 16 bases may be daisy chained together using standard RJ45 cables.
