01Features
Embedded board design
Integrates M74 control technology on a single board for efficient installation inside equipment.
4-channel control
Supports TC, RTD, voltage and current inputs to control multiple temperature points on one board.
SG-PID control
Super 2-degree-of-freedom PID and variable sampling control accommodate a range of operating conditions.
RS-485 connectivity
Connects to external devices via Modbus ASCII/RTU, PC-Link or TL-Link.
Input/output isolation
Provides isolation between input terminals, between input and output terminals, and between input and power terminals.
D74C console support
Add a D74C control and display console for standalone operation without communication with a host system.
Same dimensions and mounting holes as N50
The board dimensions and mounting-hole positions match N50, allowing the existing mounting structure to be used.
This describes mechanical compatibility. Check each model's specifications for power supply, wiring and control configuration.02Specifications
