Temperature controllers
26 April 2016
The temperature controllers of the KT.R series are the successors of Panasonic Electric Works UK's KT series controllers KT4, KT8, KT9. Customers benefit from enhanced features such as fast, easy operation, simplified configuration and functionality, visibility of the display, and a compact design.

Available in DIN formats 48 x 48mm, 48 x 96mm, and 96 x 96mm, the temperature controller is ready for operation once the initial configuration of control values has been completed. Frequently used and frequently changed settings are easily adjusted. All required operations can be set with the help of the buttons on the front.
Programming is easy thanks to a nine-step setting procedure. Simply enter target values for each time period.
Thanks to the high-speed processing with 125ms, the sampling period of the new KT.R series is only half of that of the previous series, so it is possible to carry out a much finer control of the heat capacity, for example.
The built-in auto-tuning function uses the step-response method. From the temperature rise behaviour alone, it can calculate the PID constants. It is even possible to calculate constants when auto tuning cannot be used to generate them. Because an On/Off operation is unnecessary, there is no disruption in temperature control. The highly accurate PID control mode ensures an input span of ±0.2%.
