Introduction

Introduction 

 

The new generation of Tempco PID microprocessor-based Fuzzy logic controller series 

incorporates two bright and easy to read LCD Displays which indicate Process Value (PV) and Set point (SP). 

The Fuzzy Logic technology incorporated on these series controllers enables a process to reach a 

predetermined set point in the shortest time with minimum of overshoot during start up (Power ON) or 
external load disturbances (example: an oven door being opened). 

 

 

Different controller models in this series are as follows:

These controllers are powered by an 11-26 or 90-250 VDC/VAC supply, incorporating a 2 Amp control relay output as 

a standard. The second output can be used as a cooling control or an alarm. Both outputs can be selected as a 5VDC 
or 14VDC logic output, linear current or linear voltage to drive an external device. There are six types of alarms and a 

dwell timer that can be configured for the third output. The controllers are fully programmable for 

Linear current, 

Linear Voltage, PT100 and thermocouple types J, K, T, E, B, R, S, N, L, U, P, C, and D

. The input signal is 

digitized by using an 18-bit A to D converter. Its fast sampling rate allows the controller to control fast processes.
