Products Description
WATLOW ANAFAZE CLS208 8-Loop PID Temperature Controller in stock
WATLOW ANAFAZE CLS208 is an 8-loop compact PID temperature controller belonging to CLS200 series. It supports multi-sensor input and independent closed-loop temperature regulation for 8 channels, widely used for multi-point thermal control in semiconductor, furnace and industrial oven systems.



This controller features auto-tune PID, ramp-soak batch profile, built-in RS232/RS485 serial communication and per-channel alarm functions. It is a legacy multi-loop thermal control unit, commonly used as spare part for old thermal process cabinet maintenance and replacement.
