Modular Temperature Controllers
A modular temperature controller is a narrow-housing PID module that is rail-mounted inside the panel and works together with a PLC or operator panel over RS485 Modbus; it is selected by channel count, sensor input type, output structure and supply voltage. It is used on multi-zone heated extrusion lines and in ovens to set up temperature loops without taking up space on the panel door and to monitor the values from a single screen. The category includes the Enda ET1124A and ET1124A-RT and the single-channel GEMO MDTA1TP models; the product data specifies PT100 and type J, K, T, S, R thermocouple inputs, 24 V DC supply and RS485 Modbus communication. Since the sensor input can differ between versions, verify thermocouple and PT100 support and the number of channels and outputs from the product page. A modular device is not a PLC temperature input card; it does the PID calculation itself and drives its output itself, and exchanges data with the PLC or panel only over Modbus.

How to choose Modular Temperature Controllers
A modular temperature controller is a narrow-housing PID module that is rail-mounted inside the panel and works together with a PLC or operator panel over RS485 Modbus; it is selected by channel count, sensor input type, output structure and supply voltage. It is used on multi-zone heated extrusion lines and in ovens to set up temperature loops without taking up space on the panel door and to monitor the values from a single screen.
- Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
- Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
- Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
