Subject: Eurotherm Temperature Controller Support

I am developing an automated vacuum bakeout station for CHESS at Cornell University. I have been searching for temperature controllers which allow for 10 (or more) PID control loops, and have come across the Eurotherm 2704VC controller (this particular controller has extra inputs and outputs for vacuum equipment).

Another goal of the project, in addition to building a working bakeout station, is to use, and learn more about, the EPICS control system. I have found support written originally for the Eurotherm 800 series controllers on the Modules page, and have been told it works for the 2000 series even though it should not.

I am wondering if anyone has developed support specifically for the 2704 Eurotherm controller using the newer Modbus module or StreamDevice methods (or other newer methods), as these were not available when the support for the Eurotherm 800 series was developed.

Suggestions or comments about using the Eurotherm 2704/2500 temperature controllers for this application would also be welcomed.

Thank you for your help.
