Relay output: 3 SPDT relays (5A/120-240V AC), configurable for timed proportional control, valve drive, or alarm.

Auxiliary output:

Retransmission output (0-20mA), configurable as process variable, setpoint, or position feedback.

Two digital inputs (such as remote set point, valve position feedback).

2. Control and Programming

PID control: Supports P, PI, and PID modes, with built-in Autotune function.

Slope/Insulation Procedure:

9 programs, each with 30 segments, supporting segment event control of relay actions, suitable for scenarios such as heat treatment and temperature curve control.

Hot/Cold Control Strategy: Implement dual output control for heating/cooling through analog output and relay combination.
