Engineering position
Modular connected PID controller for industrial process control
The controller forms the closed-loop control layer between the process measurement and the final power or actuating device. Model selection should be based on sensor type and range, control algorithm, output hardware, panel format, supply, communication and the thermal dynamics of the application. Modular connected PID controller for machine and process applications that need high-speed control plus expandable local/wireless communication.
Configured process inputMatch the ordered sensor/input version and usable measurement range to the actual process signal before panel design.
PID or ON/OFF control as documentedConfirm the required control mode, heating/cooling action, tuning behavior and process response for the selected model.
Alarm and output selectionAllocate control, alarm and auxiliary outputs against the load-interface and sequence requirements.
Panel integrationConfirm cutout, depth, supply, terminal access and front protection for the machine panel.
Current product position: Current NOVUS positioning emphasizes modular hardware, high-speed PID control and expandable connectivity through USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and RS485 options.
