The Autonics TM4-N2RE is a advanced, modular 1/16 DIN PID temperature controller designed for sophisticated multi-zone heating or cooling systems. With its compact form factor and powerful 4-channel control capability from a single unit, it simplifies complex wiring, saves panel space, and delivers exceptional accuracy for demanding processes in manufacturing, packaging, plastic molding, and more.

Key Features & Benefits

• 4-Channel Modular Control: Independently monitor and control up to four different temperature zones with one compact controller, reducing hardware costs and panel space by up to 75% compared to four individual units.

• Dual 4-Digit Display: Simultaneously view the Process Value (PV) and Set Value (SV) for all channels on a clear, high-brightness LED display, ensuring at-a-glance operational awareness.

• Universal Input & Relay/Voltage Output: Offers flexible compatibility with a wide range of temperature sensors (Thermocouple Types K/J) and supports both relay and voltage output types for driving various loads like SSRs, contactors, and valves.

• Advanced PID Control with Auto-Tuning: Ensures stable and precise temperature maintenance by automatically calculating the optimal Proportional, Integral, and Derivative values for each channel, minimizing overshoot and improving product quality.

• DIN-Rail Mountable & Compact Design: The 1/16 DIN size allows for easy installation on standard DIN rails, making it ideal for control cabinets where space is at a premium.

• Multi-Function I/O & Communication: Features alarm outputs, a transmission output, and optional communication modules (RS485/RS232) for seamless integration into PLCs, SCADA systems, and factory networks.
