The EZ-ZONE® PM panel mount controller from Watlow® offers control options to reduce system complexity and the cost of thermal loop ownership. It can be ordered as a PID controller, an over/under limit controller or its functions can be combined into an integrated controller. An option to integrate a high amperage power controller output with a high-performance PID controller and an over/under limit controller in one space-saving, panel mount package is also available. Many communication options are offered to support connectivity needs.

Because the EZ-ZONE PM controller is highly scalable, you pay only for what is needed. This controller is available in 1/32, 1/16, 1/8 and 1/4 DIN panel mount packages. The EZ-ZONE PM controller is easy to use and is ideal for PID, over/under limit or integrated controller needs.
