The PXF5APR2-0BCA1 is a self-tuning 1/8 DIN (48 x 96 mm) compact temperature and process controller from Fuji Electric's PXF5 series, with a 50 ms sampling speed. The self-tuning PID algorithm automatically calculates proportional band, integral time, and derivative time during the first heat-up cycle, so commissioning a new zone requires only setting the setpoint and letting the controller run through one ramp.
Integration notes
The 1/8 DIN (48 x 96 mm) panel cutout is a standard size shared across most temperature controller families, so swapping an older 1/8 DIN unit for this one typically requires only a panel cutout check and re-termination of the screw terminals. At 50 ms sampling, the controller is suited for medium-speed thermal loops; for faster processes (e.g., infrared heating or thin-film deposition), a controller with sub-10 ms sampling would be a better fit.
