Auto-Tuning PIDControllers
SERIES 96
NEMA 4X (IP65) Watlows SERIES 96 is a powerful
1 ⁄
16 DIN dual display controller thatoffers many advanced functions.
This controller can be tailored toperform hardware and softwareneeds with hardware modules that
are plugable and exchangeable,
and software menus that may be
user programmed to fit exactapplication requirements.With one universal input, a secondauxiliary input and four outputs the
SERIES 96 can be programmed toperform:
temperature measurement,
input event switching, remote set
point input, heating, boost heating,cooling, alarms, digital communica-tions and retransmit.With fast 10Hz
industrial sampling, variabletime base burst firing outputs, NEMA
4X front panel and 0.1 percent
calibration accuracy, this controller
can easily handle some of thetoughest application needs. Features and Benefits Burst fire Increases heater life / bettertemperature controllability One input, one auxiliary input, fouroutputs Powerful flexibility at a competitiveprice
Single-Loop Auto-Tuning PID Easily configurable from the frontpanel No dipswitches Multiple set points Flexible automatic control
