It is an advanced, self-tuning unit with 16 ramp/soak segments built in, meaning it can execute multi-step thermal profiles without an external programmer.
The 1/32 DIN form factor (48 x 24 mm panel cutout) is the tightest standard size — it fits where panel space is at a premium, but the display and terminal block are correspondingly compact. Self-tuning means the controller automatically calculates PID parameters during the first heat cycle, saving commissioning time on ovens, furnaces, or packaging seal bars. The 16 ramp/soak segments let you program a multi-step profile (e.g., ramp to 200°C, soak 30 min, ramp to 150°C, soak 15 min) directly on the controller, no PLC recipe logic needed.
