What is the EUROTHERM 2116FM?
The EUROTHERM 2116FM is a 1/16 DIN (48 x 48mm) panel-mounted temperature and process controller. Constructed with simplicity and flexibility, it’s employed extensively in industrial processes that require precise control of temperature, pressure, or other parameters.
It’s made to be easy to use, with an intuitive interface and rapid setup. In spite of its small size, it has a comprehensive range of functions.
Why Use the 2116FM in MEGTEC Systems?
MEGTEC systems—common in environmental control, drying, and coating—are typically in need of accurate temperature control for best performance. The EUROTHERM 2116FM is an ideal choice because of its:
- Quick-response PID control
- Robust fail-safe features
- Versatile I/O options
- Large, easy-to-read LED display
In such environments, a slight change in temperature can create inefficiencies, wasted energy, or defective products. That’s where the accuracy and response of the 2116FM take center stage.
Key Features of the EUROTHERM 2116FM
1. Flexible Configuration
The 2116FM has a broad input and output capability, including thermocouples, RTDs, and analog signals. This makes it flexible to meet different process needs without requiring extra hardware.
2. Reliable PID Control
It provides fast and accurate Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control, which keeps process variables within close tolerances. This assists in minimizing energy consumption and material waste.
3. Simple Operator Interface
Operators can easily observe and modify parameters through the easy-to-use front panel. The two 4-digit LED display displays setpoint and actual value clearly.
4. Auto-tuning and Manual Tuning Options
The auto-tuning feature enables the controller to automatically determine the optimum PID values for the process. Manual tuning is also possible for fine-tuned optimization.
5. Alarm and Safety Features
With integral over-temperature and system fault alarms, the 2116FM provides an added measure of protection in critical MEGTEC operations.
Uses in MEGTEC Systems
The EUROTHERM 2116FM is utilized in MEGTEC systems in a number of industrial applications, including:
- Web drying on printing and packaging lines
- Thermal oxidizers for VOC emissions control
- Ovens for curing coatings and adhesives
- Environmental systems for air quality control
In all of these instances, close temperature control is necessary—not only for product quality, but also for environmental compliance and operational efficiency.
