🔧 Key Features
- Universal Inputs: Supports thermocouples (K, J, R, S, B, E, T, N, PL-II, C), RTDs (Pt100, JPt100), and analog signals (0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, 0–1 V, 0–5 V, 1–5 V, 0–10 V), selectable via keypad.
- High-Visibility Display: Equipped with large 5-digit LED displays for both Process Variable (PV) and Set Value (SV), ensuring clear readability.
- Advanced Control Functions:
- PID Control with Autotuning: Ensures stable and precise control by automatically adjusting PID parameters.
- Ramp/Soak Programming: Offers a 9-step program control feature for applications requiring time-based setpoint changes.
- Converter Function: For DC current output types, the controller can function as a signal converter, outputting an insulated 4–20 mA DC signal corresponding to the input.
- Event Inputs/Outputs: Provides up to two event inputs and two event outputs (one standard), configurable for alarms, heater burnout detection, loop break alarms, time signals, and program end signals.
- Communication Capabilities: Optional RS-485 interface supporting Shinko protocol, Modbus ASCII, and Modbus RTU for integration into various control systems.
- Durable Design: Front panel rated IP66 for protection against dust and water, suitable for harsh industrial environments.
