Maintenance teams planning replacements for E5CN-HQ2M-500 frequently review Omron SMPS 24V 10A, Omron Pid Controller and Omron Sensors to prevent downtime, checking availability and compatibility with existing systems.
Omron E5CN-HQ2M-500 Digital Temperature Controller
The Omron E5CN-HQ2M-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 Voltage output (for driving SSR), 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.
