1. INTRODUCTION
In addition to the 1/16 DIN
(48 x 48 mm)
design, the UNICONT PM universal controller family is characterized by
easy setpoint adjustment and easy programming. The universal analog PID controller is suitable for processing
signals from Pt100 resistance thermometers, various thermocouples, and transmitters with a 4…20 mA
and 0…10 V DC, 0…5 V DC, 1…5 V DC, 0…100
mV
DC signal. The control output can be a relay, a continuous
0…20 mA or 4…20 mA current signal, or an output suitable for operating an SSR
(solid-state relay)
. The self-
learning autotuning
(AT)
mode helps users determine PID parameters. The device provides automatic wire
compensation for the Pt100 input signal and automatic cold junction compensation for the thermocouple input
signal. Some PM–500 series members are also capable of RS485 communication.
The UNICONT PM–500 enables more efficient control with a super-fast 50 ms sampling cycle and ±0.3% display
accuracy. Moreover, it supports a variety of control modes, including simultaneous control of heating and cooling
and automatic/manual control and communication functions.
