Product catalog summary
Overview: The Model 2704 is a sophisticated process controller/programmer designed for precision and stability in process control. It supports configurations of up to three control loops and features setpoint programming, a customizable user interface, and extensive math and logic functions. The controller is highly adaptable, integrating process control with logic functions to simplify system complexity and reduce costs.
Control Functions: The 2704 supports three control loops with options for PID, VP, or ON/OFF modes. It offers cascade, ratio, or override control strategies, and gain scheduling for optimal PID management. Trending capabilities allow users to monitor current and historical data for process variables and setpoints.
Setpoint Programmer: Capable of handling up to 60 programs with 600 segments and 16 event outputs, the device is ideal for applications such as furnaces and environmental chambers, providing an intuitive interface for program editing and execution.
IO Hardware: The 2704 includes high-resolution PV input, fixed and modular IO, and expandable IO options. It supports universal and high-level analog inputs and digital IO, with additional modules available for flexible configurations.
Communications: The controller supports multiple communication protocols, including Modbus RTU, Ethernet Modbus/TCP, Profibus DP, and DeviceNet. It can operate as both a master and slave device, facilitating integration with PLC and PC systems.
Advanced Functions: The 2704 offers toolkit functions for mathematical calculations, combinational logic, and real-time clock operations. It supports custom solutions through internal wiring of analog and digital operations.
Vacuum and Carbon Potential Control: The controller interfaces directly with vacuum gauges and manages vacuum pump sequences. It also supports carbon potential measurement and control, suitable for gas carburizing furnaces.
Environmental and Safety Specifications: Operating within 0 to +50°C and stored between -10 to +70°C, the device meets IP65 and Nema 4X panel sealing standards and complies with BS EN61326 for electromagnetic compatibility and BS EN61010 for electrical safety.
Physical and Installation Details: Designed for panel mounting, the 2704 has specific dimensions and weight, supports various control options, and is approved for specific industrial applications.
Ordering and Configuration: Detailed ordering codes and configuration options are provided, including supply voltage, loop/program configurations, communication slots, and input/output types.
Specifications: Temperature units default to °C, except for USA orders where °F is used. Remote setpoints are based on loop minimum and maximum ranges. VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4 do not support the override function. Cascade and Override inputs are specified for certain functionalities. The HR module should be operated in feedback mode, as detailed in document TIBC160.
Configuration and Connections: Detailed configuration coding and connection instructions are provided for various modules and inputs, including digital and analogue inputs, relay connections, and isolation for rear terminal connections. The voltage range for operation is specified as 85 to 264V AC.

Advanced Process Controller/Programmer Specification Sheet The 2704 is a highly accurate and stable process controller available in a single, dual or triple loop format. Features include setpoint programming and comprehensive selection of maths and logic functions. Its user interface incorporates a bright dot matrix display, providing extreme flexibility and ease of use. It is a highly configurable product offering many features previously found only in programmable logic controllers. This enables systems to be implemented integrating the process control and logic functions of a machine, therefore simplifying system complexity and reducing the total system costs. Configuration is achievable either via the front panel or using Eurotherm® iTools configuration software. • 3 Control loops • SP Programmer • Customisable user interface Timers Realtime Clock • Maths and logic functions • Open communications Digital Inputs Analogue Inputs Setpoint Selection Input Selection Digital Inputs Digital Operations Control Loop 1 Control Loop 2 Control Loop 3 Digital

• Cascade, ratio or override • Gain scheduling • Configurable control strategies • Program mimic display Eurotherm's advanced control algorithm gives stable straightline control. Automatic tuning simplifies the commissioning procedure by performing a one shot tune to calculate the optimum PID values. To further optimise control especially in programmer applications, gain scheduling can be used to transfer control between up to six sets of PID values. Trending enables the user to view, both current and historical information on the process variable and setpoint of each control loop. The 2704 incorporates...
