The Omron E5CC-TQX3A5M-006 is a 1/16 DIN process and temperature controller from the E5CC-T series, accepting RTD and thermocouple types B, E, J, K, L, N, PLII, R, S, T, U, W plus 0-20 mA and 0-10 VDC process inputs. Its input range spans -200°C to 2300°C for temperature and 0-20 mA or 0-10 VDC for process signals, making it a single-loop controller that handles both oven profiling and analog transducer conditioning from the same screw terminals. Three relay outputs plus a voltage pulse for an external SSR give it separate drive paths for heat, cool, and alarm, or a cascade of two stages and a deviation alarm — common on a single-zone plastics extruder or packaging sealer where the SSR handles the main heater and the relays manage auxiliary contactors. The IP66-rated front panel means the controller face survives washdown spray in food-and-beverage lines without a secondary cover; the square 45.00 mm x 45.00 mm panel cutout is the standard 1/16 DIN footprint, so it drops into an existing punch without adapter plates.
Panel-mount installation follows the standard 1/16 DIN procedure: cut a 45.00 mm square opening, slide the controller through from the front, and tighten the clamp brackets. Screw-terminal connections accept solid or stranded wire up to 14 AWG; the event input can be wired to a remote pushbutton or PLC digital output to trigger a preset setpoint change or hold without entering the menu. The dual-color LCD backlight shows the process value in 0.600-inch characters and the setpoint in 0.280-inch characters, each row four digits — readable from across a machine cell. Control method is selectable between on/off and proportional (PID); the autotune routine sets gains during commissioning on a live process. Supply is 100-240 VAC, so it runs on common plant power without a step-down transformer.
