Universal input, dual-output DIN-rail controller
The Omron E5DC-CX2ASM-015 is a DIN-rail mounted process and temperature controller that accepts RTD, thermocouple (Types B, E, J, K, L, N, PLII, R, S, T, U, W), 0-20 mA, and 0-10 VDC inputs — covering the full range from -200°C to 2300°C plus standard analog process signals. It ships with two relay outputs and a separate analog output, giving you both on/off or PID control of a heating/cooling element plus a retransmitted process variable signal for a chart recorder or remote display. The RS-485 port speaks Modbus and Omron's CompoWay/F protocol, so it drops straight into a PLC-based line without a protocol converter.
DIN-rail fit and panel wiring
IP20 rated, so it belongs inside an enclosure, not on a washdown line. The dual-color LCD backlight shows four characters per row for process value and setpoint.
Active lifecycle and sourcing
If your BOM calls for 24 VAC/DC control power or you need heater break alarm, the E5DC-QX2DSM-017 covers that ground. For 100-240 VAC mains supply with analog retransmission, this CX2ASM-015 is the correct pick.
