Advanced temperature control functions

on/off regulation schematic

ON/OFF control

When the measured temperature value (PV) falls below the set value (SV), the temperature controller output is activated and the heating element switches on.

When the measured value exceeds the temperature setpoint, the controller output is deactivated and the heating element switches off.

In this way, the output of the digital controller is activated intermittently according to the setpoint, to maintain a constant temperature.

This temperature control method is known as "On/Off control".

PID control with Autotune function

The temperature controller 's PID parameters are automatically set by the automatic calculation functions.

This temperature controller offers 2 versions of auto-tuning:

The standard version (auto-tuning where the reference is the setpoint)
The "no overshoot" version (auto-tuning where the reference is 10% below the setpoint).

Fuzzy logic control with auto-tuning

Thanks to fuzzy logic control, PXF temperature controllers improve response to external disturbances. By continuously monitoring the measured value,
PXF
temperature controllers suppress overshoots without altering the start-up time. In other words, external disturbances can be quickly resolved.

PXF PID controller application examples

The PIDtemperature controller is commonly used in various industrial thermal control systems, where increased precision is essential to guarantee the quality and safety of production processes. The PXF type PID controller offers numerous advantages for precise temperature control in industrial processes, guaranteeing optimum management of production systems. This thermal controller can be installed in temperature control cabinets to facilitate maintenance and centralize control of industrial equipment.
