SERIES988/989

Enhanced Software Cascade Control Cascade control is a control strategyin which one control loop provides the set point for another loop. It allows the process or part temperature to be reached quickly while minimizing overshoot. Cascade is used to optimize the performance of thermal systems with long lag times.•Precise control via cascadeconfiguration•Display of both process variables •Low cost; one unit does the workof two•Increased operator productivitywith fast setup
Outer-Loop Thermocouple Ratio Control Whether mixing materials orcontrolling temperature indirectly, ratio control with the SERIES 988 provides automatic set pointadjustments in response to system changes.•Simplified process control; onecontroller does the work of two•Low cost solution; one controller,display access - both process variables•One controller for many applications •Easy setup; increased operatorproductivity
