The Platinum series CNPT-DEMO PID controller offers a fully integrated temperature control system suitable as a platform to investigate the use of closed-loop (PID) and simple on/off temperature control in heating and cooling applications. It also can be used for PID control theory education in universities and laboratories. The controller is designed for easy setup and use with intuitive “smart” menu flow, panel-mounted USB and Ethernet connectivity, an alarm indicator, a 4- to 20-mA remote set-point potentiometer, a pushbutton digital input and an aluminum plate that allows users to feel the temperature response.
