The EZ-ZONE
®
PM takes the pain out of solving your thermal loop requirements.
Watlow’s EZ-ZONE PM controllers offer options to reduce system complexity and the cost of control-loop
ownership. You can order the EZ-ZONE PM as a PID controller or an over-under limit controller, or you can
combine both functions in the PM Integrated Limit Controller. You now have the option to integrate a high-
amperage power controller output, an over-under limit controller and a high-performance PID controller all in
space-saving, panel-mount packages. You can also select from a number of serial communications options to
help you manage system performance.
It just got a whole lot easier to solve the thermal requirements of your system. Because the EZ-ZONE PM
controllers are highly scalable, you only pay for what you need. So if you are looking for a PID controller, an
over-under limit controller or an integrated controller, the EZ-ZONE PM is the answer.
