The Series PD controller is a DIN rail mounted, general purpose industrial PID temperature/
process controller. The Series PD is available in single and dual channel versions and features an
embedded web server to provide an easy to use interface for configuration and monitoring of
processes. The controller also features several popular communications protocols to facilitate easy
integration into most existing process management systems.
The Series PD accepts thermocouple, RTD and process signal control inputs and also features
optional auxiliary digital or current transformer (CT) inputs. Up to four control or event (alarm)
outputs can be selected on either the single or dual channel versions.
Advanced features of the Series PD controllers include internal data logging of key control pa-
rameters, smart sensor technology, heater burn out detection and an enhanced control algorithm.
The SERIES PD controller is backed by a three-year warranty from Watlow Winona and is
UL® 508, C-UL®, CSA and CE approved.
