Core Specifications Category Details Product Type E5CW Series 1/16 DIN plug-in temperature controller (1 SSR voltage control, 1 alarm) Manufacturer Omron Automation Mounting Panel mount (48×48 mm cutout); plug-in terminal block Power Supply AC 100–240 V (50/60 Hz); power consumption: ~7 VA Input Type Thermocouple (K/J type, selectable) Display 3-digit LED (red PV, clear readability) Control Method ON/OFF or PID control with auto-tuning Control Output 1×Voltage output (12 V DC, 40 mA max; for SSR drive) Alarm Output 1×SPDT alarm relay (250 VAC 1 A resistive max; 8 selectable functions) Sampling Period 500 ms Indication Accuracy ±0.5% full scale ±1 digit Front Protection IP40 (panel-mounted) Operating Temperature -10°C to +55°C Certifications CE, RoHS compliant Weight ~150 g Key Functions & Advantages Thermocouple Compatibility & SSR Control K/J thermocouple input covers common industrial heating ranges (-200°C to +1372°C for K, -210°C to +1200°C for J). PID control with auto-tuning optimizes stability for heating processes; ON/OFF mode available for simple applications. 12 V DC voltage output (40 mA max) directly drives SSRs for fast, noise-free switching and extended cycle life. 1 alarm relay supports high/low temperature or sensor fault protection (8 selectable functions). Simplified Operation & Installation Plug-in terminal block enables quick installation/replacement without rewiring. DIP switches for fast input range/control mode selection; no complex programming. Clear LED display ensures easy readability from a distance. Cost-Effective & Durable Low power consumption (~7 VA) reduces energy costs for continuous operation. Compact 48×48 mm size saves panel space for dense layouts. Light gray case with IP40 front protection resists dust in general industrial environments.
