B. Working Principle of PX Series Temperature Controller

The iTherm PX Series Temperature Controller works on the principle of continuous temperature measurement and automatic control.

The connected temperature sensor, such as RTD or Thermocouple, detects the actual temperature of the process. This temperature value is continuously transmitted to the controller.

The controller compares the measured temperature with the user-defined set temperature. Based on the difference between the actual temperature and the set value, the controller calculates the required output using PID or ON-OFF control logic.

In PID mode, the controller automatically adjusts the output power to minimize temperature fluctuations and maintain stable temperature conditions. The output signal operates connected heating devices such as heaters, ovens, furnaces, or other temperature control equipment through Relay or SSR outputs.
