Compact Process Controller
Integrating Closed-Loop and 
Programmable Control


The Watlow Anafaze CPC400 controllers provide performance and flexibility in a compact design and integrate full-featured closed-loop control with user-written logic. Programmable logic can interact with closed-loop control and operate I/O independently.

Four and eight loop versions offer complete control solutions for a broad range of applications. The CPC400 supports thermocouples, RTD's, Linear voltage, current and frequency. Built-in diagnostics automatically detect sensor failures including open, shorted and reversed conditions. I/O can also be utilized for closed loop control, alarms and user programs.

Using the built-in communications port, system designers can interface one or more controllers to a host computer for operator controls and data acquisition. The CPC400 offers PID, cascade, ratio and differential control strategies. Process variable retransmit and remote analog set point can be used to integrate the CPC400 with other devices such as chart recorders.

The CPC400 carries the CE mark and UL® approved.


Features and Benefits

Combines Control Loops with Programmable Logic

  • Easy integration of PID control and logic
  • Less time reinventing PID control
  • Augment closed-loop control with user written logic
  • Add custom functions to controller
  • Reduced installation and setup time
  • Requires less panel space
  • Fewer parts reduces failures and increases reliability

Flexible, Easy-to-Use Interfaces

  • Easy setup with menu guided, full-text prompts
  • Context-sensitive, on-screen help saves time
  • WATVIEW™ software minimizes setup time
  • Integrate with other serial devices using Modbus™
  • Connect to system components via analog I/O to
    retransmit process variables and read set points

Advanced Control Utilities

  • Auto-tune optimizes control with minimal effort and expertise
  • Cascade minimizes overshoot and improves control
    in system with excessive thermal lag
  • Ratio and differential enhances control where the 
    relationship between two or more loops is paramount
