UMC800 Overview
Introduction
The Universal Multi-loop Controller (UMC800) is a modular controller (see Figure 1) designed to address
the analog and digital control requirements of small unit processes. With up to 16 analog control loops, four
setpoint programmers, a setpoint scheduler, and an extensive assortment of analog and digital control
algorithms, the UMC800 is an ideal control solution for furnaces, environmental chambers, ovens, reactors,
cookers, freeze dryers, extruders, small boilers, and other processes with similar control requirements.
Accommodating up to 64 universal analog inputs, 16 analog outputs, or 96 digital inputs or outputs, the
UMC800 provides the appropriate balance of input and output hardware for these smaller unit processes.

Split architecture
The UMC800 uses a split architecture that separates the control functions from the operator interface
functions to provide greater installation flexibility.
