The PXR3 controller offers a wide variety of inputs and outputs, and a 16-segment ramp-soak profile. The bright red LED display is bigger and brighter than most other 1/32 DIN controllers.

Low-cost options include RS485 Modbus(TM) communications with free Windows®-based software, digital input, dual outputs, and programmable alarms. A new option to the PXR series is the program configuration loader with Windows®-based software to easily set up the controller. Files for different applications can be saved to and from the controller.

Remote monitoring of up to 31 controllers at a time is possible with the RS485 option that uses the industry-standard Modbus protocol. FREE Windows®-based communications software, PXR-LITE, gives you a comprehensive graphical user interface.

The faceplate, designed for NEMA 4X (IP66 equivalent), is watertight and is corrosion resistant. There are screw-terminals on the back for making connections.

In addition to auto-tuning and Fuji's highly popular fuzzy control, the PXR3 comes with self-tuning, an innovation in the control field. It allows for retuning the controller under certain conditions, without reverting to auto-tuning. The standard ramp/soak feature includes two patterns that can be linked to create a 16-step profile. The PXR3 accepts temperature and process inputs, and offers two control outputs and two programmable alarms.
