Autonics TC4Y-12R combines intelligent PID control with a compact form factor, making it a preferred choice for temperature controller needs in industrial panels. This model supports dual power inputs of 24VAC~ 50/60Hz or 24–48VDC, offering flexibility for both AC and DC-powered automation systems. The controller delivers fast response using a 100ms sampling cycle, and supports advanced control methods like ON/OFF, P, PI, PD, and PID. Output choices include relay (250VAC~ 3A) or SSR drive (12VDC), making it suitable for resistive or solid-state load applications. Engineers can fine-tune proportional band, integral time, and derivative time for optimal loop stability, while the 4-digit 7-segment LED display ensures process visibility. With compatibility for thermocouples (K, J, L) and RTDs (Pt100Ω, Cu50Ω), and a safety-rated 2kV dielectric strength, the TC4Y-12R is engineered for harsh electrical environments.
Maintenance teams benefit from its ease of installation, consistent accuracy, and long-term durability. Junior engineers and students find it intuitive for learning real-world temperature control, while seasoned professionals trust its stability across changing load conditions and ambient ranges of -10 to 50°C.
Whether you are upgrading existing systems or designing new industrial panels, the Autonics TC4Y-12R Single Display PID Temperature Controller delivers a perfect balance of precision, size, and multi-sensor compatibility. View complete specs and explore other Autonics models here.
