The CN8200 temperature/process controller is extremely versatile and user-friendly. The operator needs to review only those parameters relevant to the particular application during setup. A dual digital display offers optimum process information at a glance. Individual LED's identify the status of outputs, alarms, digital communications, and special options. The CN8200 features a NEMA-4X front panel and a universal power supply that accepts 100 to 250 Vac and 120 to 250 Vdc. A 24 Vac/24 Vdc power supply option is also available. Control algorithms available are P, PI, PD, PID, or ON/OFF. The autotune feature automatically sets proportional band, derivative, and integral before the process reaches setpoint. These parameters provide quick stabilization of processes with minimum overshoot, hunting, or cycling.

Eight-level ramp/soak control consisting of 8 ramps and 8 soaks is standard, and includes a decimal display on thermocouple ranges, digital display and signal filtering, and a percentage of power limit setting. The dual control outputs can be configured for a variety of control and alarm applications, and two dedicated alarm outputs are also available. The CN8200 offers a wide range of options, including RS-232 and RS-485 digital communications, five remote analog setpoint ranges, three contact/digital input modes, four transducer excitation voltages, and four auxiliary output ranges.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Confusion You should have shipped all 5 units together instead of splitting the order. No explanation provided. That just caused unnecessary confusion.

How do you access the jumpers for current input on a CN8200

Asked by: KarenCT
Hi KarenCT, Thank you for the inquiry. Manual pg 19 illustrates jumper positions. https://assets.omega.com/manuals/M2942.pdf To access the jumpers the outer shell will need to be removed. Clear the terminal blocks, press in at detents, and slide the shell towards the back. Best regards, OMEGA

Do you have software that supports Windows 7/10?

Asked by: xnei
Microsoft offers the "Windows XP Mode" emulator you can download and install from Microsoft.com. This will allow you to install and run the product software. There is no software update available for this product.

If you do not support the current Windows OS, can you help with Matlab or Labview codes that connect to the controller based on RS232 communication?

Asked by: Olaf
Hi Olaf, Thank you for the inquiry. Manuals for the CN8200 series include the serial command set. This may be useful to you. We do not offer example code for 3rd party software though. Best regards OMEGA
