Series 96 Controllers

Watlow Series 96 is a powerful 1/16th DIN dual display controller that offers many advanced functions. This new controller can be tailored to perform hardware and software needs with hardware modules that are pluggable and exchangeable and software menus that may be user programmed to fit exact application requirements.

With one universal input, a second auxiliary input and four outputs the Series 96 can be programmed to perform: temperature measurement, input event switching, remote set point input, heating, boost heating, cooling, alarms, digital communications and retransmit. These features make this controller ideally suited for applications in markets such as plastics packaging, semiconductor, food processing and lab equipment.

With fast 10Hz sampling, variable time base burst firing outputs, NEMA 4X front panel and 0.1% calibration accuracy this control can easily handle some of the toughest application needs.

The Series 96 is manufactured by ISO 9001 registered Watlow Controls and reliably backed by a three-year warranty.
