Product Description
Foxboro 58P5 Pneumatic Controller
Product Overview
- The Foxboro 58P5 is a Pneumatic Controller from the 58P Series, manufactured by Foxboro, now part of Schneider Electric. This controller is designed to manage process variables such as pressure, temperature, flow, or level by producing a pneumatic output signal based on the deviation between a measured process variable and a setpoint. It is used in industrial applications, including chemical processing, oil and gas, and power generation, for precise control in pneumatic control systems.
