The Eurotherm3000Series of PID Controllers, are an example of such a range of instruments. By devolving loop control to a dedicated PID controller, a PLC is able to concentrate on providing fast and effective logic control without the burden of running complex control algorithms. The PID controller offers better control performance than a PLC and the comfort of single loop integrity and ease of replacement without disrupting the process.
