Eurotherm 3216 /CC/VH/TTXX/R/XXX/G Programmable Temperature & Process Controller 11:19

The Eurotherm 3216 is a highly versatile and compact 1/16 DIN programmable controller, engineered for demanding industrial applications. Designed for exceptional accuracy and reliability, it is the ideal solution for precise temperature regulation and process control in ovens, furnaces, packaging machinery, and plastic processing equipment.

This specific model, with the suffix /CC/VH/TTXX/R/XXX/G, indicates a feature-rich configuration including a CC (Current Control) output, a VH (High Voltage) power supply, and a TT (Thermocouple) input, making it a powerful and flexible choice for a wide range of industrial environments.

Key Features & Technical Benefits

• Advanced Control Algorithms: Features high-performance PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) control with autotune, ensuring fast response, minimal overshoot, and exceptional stability for your most critical processes.

• Dual Display (Model Dependent): A bright, easy-to-read dual LED display simultaneously shows the process value (PV) and setpoint (SV), providing operators with clear, real-time information at a glance.

• Flexible Input/Output Configuration: Supports a wide range of thermocouple (TT), RTD, and analog inputs. The /CC suffix denotes a current control output, perfect for driving external devices like solid-state relays (SSRs) or I/P converters.

• High-Voltage Power Supply (VH): The /VH option allows for direct connection to a broad range of power supplies (typically 90-264 VAC), simplifying installation and reducing the need for external transformers.

• Ramp/Soak Programming: Enables the creation of complex multi-segment temperature profiles. Automatically control ramp rates and dwell times for processes like annealing, curing, or heat-treating cycles.

• Rugged & Reliable Design: Built to withstand harsh industrial conditions with high noise immunity and a robust housing, ensuring continuous operation and reduced downtime.

• Communications Ready: Optional fieldbus communications (e.g., Profibus, DeviceNet) allow for seamless integration into modern plant automation and SCADA systems.
