Specification Sheet
● High stability control The 2404/2408 is a versatile, high stability temperature or process
controller, with self and adaptive tuning, in 1/4 DIN and 1/8 DIN sizes. It
● Up to twenty comes with a standard 8 segment setpoint programmer, with options for
programs one, four or twenty programs of 16 segments each.

● 16 segments It has a modular hardware construction which accommodates a wide range

of plug-in modules. It will accept up to three I/O modules and two
● Heating and cooling communication modules. Two digital inputs and an optional alarm relay are
● Customisable included as part of the fixed hardware build. The hardware is configurable
for heating, cooling, alarms and other functions. A transmitter power

display
The 16 segment programmer can have up to 8 programmable outputs
● Multiple alarms on a which can be set in each segment to trigger external events. The two digital
single output inputs can be used to run, hold and reset the program. Parallel operation
of several programmers can be performed with synchronisation chosen at
● DC retransmission the end of any desired segments.

● Digital
communications Precise control
An advanced PID control algorithm gives stable ‘Straight-line’ control of the
- Modbus RTU process. A one-shot tuner is provided to set up the initial PID values and to
calculate the overshoot inhibition parameters. In addition an adaptive tuner
- Profibus DP network
will handle processes with continually changing characteristics. On
- DeviceNet® network electrically heated loads, power feedback is used to stabilise the output
power and hence the controlled temperature against supply voltage
fluctuations. Dedicated cooling algorithms ensure optimum control of fan,
water and oil cooled systems.

Universal input
A universal input circuit with an advanced analogue to digital convertor
samples the input at 9Hz and continuously corrects it for drift. This gives
high stability and rapid response to process changes. High noise immunity
is achieved by rejection of 50/60Hz pick-up and other sources of noise.
Sensor diagnostics are also provided. The input will accept all standard
thermocouples, the Pt100 resistance thermometer and linear millivolts,
milliamps or DC volts.

Supply
PDSIO (Pulse Density Signalling I/O) is a major innovation in the
2404/2408. When used in combination with a Eurotherm TE10 solid
state relay (SSR), it allows the logic output of a 2404/2408 to transmit
the power demand signal and simultaneously read back load fault
alarms. These alarms will be flashed as messages on the controller PDSIO 2-wire
Connection
front panel.
Two alarm conditions will be detected, either SSR failure indicating an
open or short circuit condition in the SSR and heater circuit failure
indicating either fuse failure, heater open circuit or line supply absent.

PDSIO master setpoint transmission Master Setpoint Generator

PDSIO can be used to digitally transmit the setpoint profile to a
number of slave Series 2000 controllers.
If any slave zone departs from the required setpoint by more than a
pre-settable amount, a signal grom any slave can be transmitted back PDSIO Master

to the master causing the program to freeze until the error is
