Built into an enclosure, these temperature controllers are protected when sitting on your workbench. Ideal in systems with rapid, unpredictable, or complex temperature changes, they turn heating equipment on and off using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control algorithm to make fine adjustments, giving you the most precise and stable temperature control. All work similarly to proportional controllers but gather more variables to calculate the most effective way to return to the target temperature and avoid overshooting it. They also have fuzzy logic to learn your system's behavior and compensate as needed. Use the autotuning function to have the controller cycle and identify the ideal PID variables for your system. These controllers read temperature with a highly sensitive thermocouple probe in critical process applications. Since they reset automatically, they switch off and on again as the temperature fluctuates. Use the keypad to adjust the actuation point, reset point, and other settings.

The controllers have mechanical relay outputs that actuate circuits directly. All are single pole, single throw (SPST-NO) relays and turn one circuit from off to on (normally open).

Controllers with high-limit control let you attach a second thermocouple probe to take the temperature of your heating equipment. If your equipment reaches the high limit, these controllers shut down your heating equipment and won't let it turn back on until you manually reset it, improving the safety of your system.
