CHAPTER1: INTRODUCTION
TheHorner Electric PID Network InterfaceModule (NIM) allows for the seamless integration of stand-alone PID
controllerswiththeAlspa8000PLC. ThemoduleinterfacesviaRS-485withupto28HornerElectricPIDcontrollers.
Thesecontrollers feature a wide variety of input and output configurations. The operation of these controllers is
describedindetailinthe HornerElectricStandAlonePID ControllerUser'sManual. The"stand-alone"nature of
thesecontrollersallowmanyPIDloopstobeintegratedwithasingle90-30withoutsignificantlyincreasingthescan
