INTRODUCTION 1.1. The Electrothermal MC810B Digital Controller provides a convenient means of temperature control, using microprocessor techniques to give ease of operation and good accuracy. It can be used either in ON/OFF mode with the hysteresis loop controlling power switching or it can be used as a PID (Proportional, Integrated, Derivative) controller.
