The REX-F9000 is a high-resolution digital controller that has been specifically designed for applications where precise process control with three decimal places (0,001°C) is required. This instrument is easy-to-use and offers versatile functions such as dual loop control, bar-graph display, auto-tuning, communications, analog outputs and contact inputs.
RKC Instrument designed its controller with a wide variety of features such as high resolution of 0,001°C over an input range of 0,0000 to 50,000°C. It also monitors the electrical load through a dedicated transformer. This is the power feed forward function. Primary industrial applications are semi-conductor equipment and laboratory equipment or anywhere that extremely accurate temperature is required. The PID combines stable control with quick response and is available with 2-channel input for dual channel control.
