Optimised Temperature Control
Functions convenient for temperature control are built in

The control unit with thermistor inputs enables temperature control at low cost
Two thermistor inputs, which cost less than thermocouples,
can be connected to the FPΣ (Sigma) unit via thermistor inputs
(FPG-C28P2HTM, FPG-C32T2HTM and FPG-C24R2HTM).
Using a simple linearization command, measuring
the temperature by the thermistor can be programmed easily.
Four- and eight-channel type thermocouple input expansion unit
Up to three units can be added to each control unit, enabling temperature
control of up to 24 channels.
Advantages over multiple temperature controllers:
࡯ Information collection and computer-based storage.
࡯ On-site error monitoring using programmable display.
࡯ Significant reduction in total costs.
࡯ Power supply stabilisation by protecting synchronisation
between heater ON and OFF states.
࡯ Temperature settings can be easily changed using batch function.
Optimised temperature control with PID and PWM instruction
You can easily set multi-stage temperature control and time
control usually available only in high performance type
temperature controllers.
With the built-in PID and IPD algorithms,
temperature can be controlled more accurate
than ever.
