A variable time four-loop on/off, PD and PID temperature controller, with a graphic trend and bargraph touchscreen display, is new from Gefran.

The firm says its GF_Promer is designed to simplify control for applications such as thermal treatment furnaces, climatic chambers and autoclaves.
It is also expandable, with a range of voltage and current sensor input, GF_Vedo panels with high-speed Modbus RTU communications, and GILogik II series analogue and digital I/O modules.
You can order 3.5 or 5.7in, high resolution versions with ¼ VGA IP65 sealed display. Programming is menu driven for guided 'no manual' usage.
Capacity is 100 programs, each with up to 300 steps and infinite program repetition.
