The C310 fieldmount universal process controller was launched in June 1995. It enabled control of a single PID loop using a number of control strategies (for example, single loop, heat / cool or motorized valve). The C310 was available with a comprehensive I/O capability, custom linearizers and ramp/soak profiling.
In September 2015, the C310 was superseded by the ControlMaster CMF310 field-mountable controller. The CMF310 uses ABB’s common instrumentation platform HMI and features a new full color TFT display enabling uniquely customizable operator displays. The CMF310 also features ethernet communications, profile control and bank control functionality as well as the features previously available on the C310. All features are accessible through the front panel of the controller without the need for PC configuration software..
