During technical comparisons, E5CN-HC2M-500 appears alongside Omron SMPS 24V 10A, Omron Pid Controller and Omron Sensors so engineers assess signal types, ingress protection, and ambient tolerances accurately.
Omron E5CN-HC2M-500 Digital Temperature Controller
The Omron E5CN-HC2M-500 Temperature Controller is a compact and precise Advanced Digital Temperature Controller designed for stable, fast-response industrial temperature control. Its 1/16 DIN 48 × 48 × 78 (W × H × D) design supports a versatile operates on 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz with an allowable range of 85 to 110% of the power supply voltage, it provides ON/OFF or 2-PID control with auto-tuning for consistent temperature stability. The controller includes a Current output, 2 auxiliary outputs, Digital setting using front panel keys, 11-segment digital display for clear visibility, and Screw terminal blocks for easy and secure panel integration. Manufactured by Omron, part of the Omron Temperature Controller ecosystem within the Omron E5CN Series.

The Omron E5CN-HC2M-500 is frequently assessed alongside other units in the Digital Temperature Controllers group because they share comparable sensor inputs, panel depth behaviour, and loop-control characteristics. Engineers often evaluate Omron E5CC-RX2DBM-002 (DIN48 x 48, ON/OFF or 2-PID control, 24 VAC (50/60 Hz); 24 VDC, Relay output, 11-segment digital display), Omron E5CC-CQ2DSM-006 (DIN48 x 48, ON/OFF or 2-PID control, 24 VAC (50/60 Hz); 24 VDC, Linear current output, 11-segment digital display), and Omron E5AC-RR2ASM-010 (DIN 96 x 96, ON/OFF or 2-PID control, 100 to 240 VAC (50/60 Hz), Relay output, 11-segment digital display) when selecting a controller that fits panel wiring, SSR/relay load stages, and enclosure thermal limits. Reviewing shape, control method, supply voltage class, output structure, and indication style builds a clearer link between field sensors, heater switching elements,.
