When Digital Temperature Controllers are connected, set
points and RUN/STOP commands can be sent from the Dig-
ital Temperature Controller that is set as the master to the
Digital Temperature Controllers that are set as slaves.
Slope and offsets can be set for the set point.
Number of connected Digital Temperature Controllers: 32
max. (including master)
Copying
*
When Digital Temperature Controllers are connected, the pa-
rameters can be copied from the Digital Temperature Control-
ler that is set as the master to the Digital Temperature
Controllers that are set as slaves.
