Watlow PM PLUS™ PID & Integrated Limit Controllers

Watlow PM PLUS controllers from Watlow 
and Anderson-Bolds

Watlow’s PM PLUS™, the enhanced EZ-ZONE® PM, is now more intuitive and features an enhanced interface for easier programming and readability with a SMOOTH-TOUCH™ keypad creating an industry leading user experience. The Watlow PM PLUS is backwards compatible with legacy EZ-ZONE PM controllers but offers many user upgrades including an intuitive menu flow allowing the controller to be easily configured. It also continues to offer the industry leading Bluetooth® connectivity with the EZ-LINK™ mobile app for remote access capability and full descriptions of parameters and error codes. The PM PLUS improves the user experience by reducing the complexity at the front of the control while eliminating the dependency of cables when configuring the product.

Like the original Watlow EZ-ZONE PM, the PM PLUS can be ordered as a PID controller, or an integrated controller with multiple functions combined into one. Now Watlow’s PM PLUS is available through Watlow SELECT®, a program that enables you to quickly identify, configure and receive your thermal products faster and easier than ever before. With SELECT, you use a variety of tools to guide your decision, configure products for an exact fit and quickly receive your order.

Watlow Limit and Scanner Controllers

Anderson-Bolds Provides High Quality Watlow Temperature Control Products

Watlow LIMITS AND SCANNERS

Watlow single and multi-loop limits provide cost-effective solutions for single- and multi-channel, temperature monitoring. Limits monitor the process value where thermal system protection is needed, closing a contact output for normal operation and opening that contact to shut down the process or equipment when the value is outside the safe range.

Various configurations offer user-selectable or fixed-configuration sensor options including thermocouple, process, RTD and thermal switch inputs as well as user-settable or fixed limit values. Models with displays have user-selectable temperature units. Other features include sensor break protection, industry standard I/O options and UL® and CSA approval. All limits and scanners are RoHS compliant. Limits have FM approval for performance in limit (Over Temperature) applications. Watlow limits are designed and manufactured to withstand harsh industrial environments and come with a three-year warranty.

EZ-ZONE® PM LIMIT CONTROLLER

The EZ-ZONE PM panel mount limit controllers from Watlow® offer control options to reduce system complexity and the cost of thermal loop ownership. The EZ-ZONE PM limit controller provides high amperage power controller output and over/under limit control in one space saving, panel mount package.
