It is an advanced, self-tuning unit with 16 ramp/soak segments, meaning it can learn the thermal characteristics of the load and automatically adjust PID parameters for stable control, while the ramp/soak profile lets you program a temperature sequence — useful for curing ovens, heat-treating, or any process that follows a timed thermal curve.
The 1/32 DIN form factor (about 24 x 48 mm panel cutout) is the smallest standard DIN size. It snaps into a panel cutout with a spring-clip retainer — no screw holes. This makes it a direct fit for existing 1/32 DIN cutouts in control panels, ovens, or test equipment. The self-tuning feature means you don't need to manually calculate PID constants; the controller does it during the first heating cycle.
What the ramp/soak segments mean for your process
Sixteen ramp/soak segments give you enough profile steps for a multi-stage thermal cycle — for example, a preheat ramp, a soak at temperature, a controlled cool-down, and a hold. Each segment can be set for a target temperature and a time duration. This is more flexible than a simple setpoint controller and eliminates the need for an external ramp generator or PLC-based profile.
