1.1 Solution description
Autonics TM4 device from the TM series is a multi-channel PID temperature controller, capable of
controlling various type of power controllers thanks to its build-in SSR driver or relay output and
simultaneously controlling up to 4 elements, (up to 2 elements for the TM2 type). It has also build-in serial
Modbus connection through RS-485 pins.
Thanks to its characteristic, the TM device can be added in any existing automation architecture with
Modbus connection and device parameters or statuses, values limits and Present Value can be
monitored or set, allowing remote access to key-data.
This solution brings the following benefits to your current installation:
Allows to monitor in real time several TM devices status and feedback values
Allows settings of several TM devices parameters like setting values or PID parameters from only
1 device
Allows data exchange between different device types
