Red Lion PXU PID controller series

Red Lion Controls has announced the PXU series of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. The series is designed for machine builders, systems integrators and commercial equipment manufacturers. It is said to enable tighter control over a wide range of processes, including temperature, flow and pressure, from a single model.

Capable of being deployed in precision process applications within the food and beverage, plastics, packaging, energy, gas, heat-treating, commercial and medical industries, the series offers 1/16, 1/8 and 1/4 DIN size models to provide a range of space-saving options. One model fits all temperature and process PID applications with the universal inputs that support thermocouple, RTD, 0-10 VDC and 4-20 mA (0-50).

Easy set-up and commissioning is possible via the on-demand auto-tuning programmable front panel push-buttons and/or the company’s free Crimson configuration software. The enhanced bezel design provides larger, easy-to-read displays for better visibility from long distances and the optional RS485 communications allow integration with PCs, PLCs and HMIs.
