Control & monitor · Configured for the application
Control electronics
Temperature controllers guide your heating safely through the process: from single-zone tabletop units to 8-zone cabinets — with soft-start sequencing and sensor monitoring, configured to match the heating element and sensor.
The brain of the heating system
Only the control makes the heating a system.
Heating element, temperature sensor and controller together form the control loop — only when all three match does the process run stably. We supply control electronics to match your heating system: configured for sensor type, heating power and number of zones.
The units control by two-point or PID behavior with autotuning, display setpoint and actual value digitally, and monitor the sensor for breakage and reverse polarity. The soft-start sequence starts up the heating at reduced power — exactly what cartridge heaters and ceramic band heaters need for a long service life.
Matched to the heating element
Heater, sensor and controller from a single source — matched to each other, from single-zone tabletop units to 8-zone cabinets.
Gentle start-up
Soft-start sequence designed specifically for cartridge heaters, autotuning for automatic control adjustment, and boost function for fast heat-up.
Monitoring included
Sensor break and reverse-polarity detection as standard — optionally heating current monitoring, alarm outputs and continued operation via output-level takeover in case of sensor failure.
Configured ready to connect
We supply the unit configured to match sensor type, heating power and number of zones — also as a replacement for existing controllers.

From tabletop unit to cabinet
Device classes & configurations
Single-zone tabletop controller
Digital controller with setpoint and actual value display in a compact tabletop housing — 230 V, up to 3,600 W. For a single heating zone.
Multi-zone control units
1 to 8 control zones in a cabinet housing — for hot runner systems and machines with multiple heating zones.
Touchscreen version
Up to 8 zones with touch control — optionally with data logger and web server for documentation and remote access.
Basic controller
The economical option for simple control tasks — solid two-point control without additional functions.
Options & functions
From alarming to system integration — the scope of functions depends on the process and environment.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Three details are enough: number of zones, heating power per zone, and sensor type. From this we configure the right unit — from a single-zone benchtop controller to an 8-zone cabinet. If in doubt, simply tell us the heating element and sensor; we supply both to match.
On switch-on, the heater is brought up to temperature with reduced power instead of full load. This drives moisture out of the heating elements and protects both cartridge heaters and ceramic band heaters — the ramp-up can be executed relative or absolute. We recommend exactly this start-up function on our heating element pages as well.
The units detect sensor breaks and reverse polarity and report the fault. Higher-grade versions can continue heating at the last determined output value if a sensor fails (output-value hold) — production continues until the sensor is replaced.
Yes — the units can be operated as power controllers: instead of controlling to a temperature, you specify a fixed output value as a percentage. Useful for applications without a measuring point or for emergency operation.
As standard, type J thermocouple; also type K, type L and PT100. It is important that the controller input and sensor type match — matching temperature sensors are also available in our range.
Yes — optionally with interfaces such as RS-422/485, Profibus-DP or Profinet, as well as alarm outputs via relay or siren. The touchscreen version additionally offers a data logger and web server for documentation and remote access.
Yes. Tell us the key data of the old unit (number of zones, sensor type, switching capacity, installation situation) or send a photo of the nameplate — we propose a matching unit and configure it accordingly.
You provide us with the number of zones, heating power, sensor type and the desired functions, we check the sizing and clarify any open points directly with you. You then receive a quote; after ordering, we deliver the unit fully configured.
