EZ-Zone PM Controllers Take the Pain out of Solving Your Thermal loop Requirements

Watlow's EZ-ZONE PM panel mount controller offers control options to reduce system complexity and the cost of thermal loop ownership. You can order the EZ-ZOne PM as a PID controller, an over/under limit controller or these functions can be combined into an integrated controller. You now have the option to integrate a high amperage power controller output with a high-performance PID controller and an over/under limit controller in one space-saving, panel mount package. A number of serial communication options are available to support your connectivity needs.

Because the EZ-ZONE PM controller is highly scalable you only pay for what you need.This controller is available in 1/32 or 1/16 DIN panel mount packages. If you are looking for a PID controller, the EZ-ZONE PM will make your life easier.
