ABB Commander C100 1/8 DIN Universal Process Controller (C100/0000/STD) is a compact, panel-mount single-loop PID controller designed for robust, flexible process control in the plant floor. It uses a universal process input that accepts a wide range of sensor signals, enabling direct connection to temperature sensors, thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors, and standard 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA process signals. The STD configuration provides two 4-digit LED displays for PV and SP readouts, and includes one analog input plus one relay output to execute simple on/off control actions or drive external devices. The device is built for easy field setup with ABB’s Commander family integration, allowing straightforward parameterization of the control loop (P, I, D) with tuning options to optimize response. As a 1/8 DIN unit, it remains compact enough for panel-mount installations in control panels, switchgear cabinets, or instrument racks, while offering reliable performance for applications such as temperature, flow, level, and pressure regulation in process industries. Typical use cases include boiler or furnace temperature control, chemical process regulation, and packaging or food-and-beverage processes where a dedicated, single-loop controller is preferred for deterministic control and straightforward diagnostics. The C100 family is valued for its rugged design, familiar ABB control terminology, and compatibility with other Commander devices, enabling scalable control architectures without sacrificing real-time visibility of process variables.
