Rated 4 out of 5 by from Powerful, Compact, bit tricky to learn Works well, good features, bit tricky to program until reading on line manual. The included paper document is not clear about the button press timings to activate the three different menus.. Increasing and decreasing temperatures a bit slow as numbers increment and decrement slow as you hold the button. Bubble membrane buttons are not so easy to use they are so small, and require significant pressure to activate. You have to hold the little head unit I installed them in from moving as you press. Seems to hold temperatures very nicely, display is nice. Overall it is a very nice feature packed unit, and fairly easy to use once you figure it out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great device for the cost Great little device for the money. I used it to heat a battery at a specific ramp rate until failure. Once it ran through its autotune, it held VERY accurately to that ramp rate. It takes a bit to learn all the functions, but once you know the features you need regularly it becomes straight forward. It has a lot more functionality than I think I'd ever need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice price to feature ratio. Easy to use, very good cost to feature ratio. Ramp functions are very useful, would have been nice to have finer resolution on ramp timing, but it works quite well.

omega recommend a cm16d3-m-ac controller how do i hook up wires to retransmit temperature signal to a plc

Asked by: james o
The output of this controller is a 'powered output' so simply run terminal # 5 (+) to the Positive input of your PLC, and #4 (-) to the Negative input of your PLC.

On the manual it lists the factory setting for the temperature lower limit is -200C, does that mean that it can accurately measure values at -200C and then heat up to room temperature? We are trying to use this controller with a low temperature system.

Asked by: Finn1384
This unit can control process temps to -200 C accurately if the sensor accuracy is compatible with the temperature range as well. Example of compatible sensor is the PT100 RTD. And example probe is ; PR-11-2-100-1/8-12-E Thank you for your question.

Is the SYNC Configuration Software used to configure the CN16D3-MR-2U-CM-AC. Can the setting in the instrument be saved to disk and downloaded into another like instrument.

Asked by: gharter
Hi Gharter, Thank you for the inquiry. SYNC program does not work with this controller. If you purchase the RS485 option with this controller you can use the free software linked up next to manuals on this web page. You would also need an RS485 to USB converter for your PC.

The manual (p13) talks about setting the "control period". Exactly which parameter is this? Thank you

Asked by: sketel
The Control Period is the period of PID operation, if the control period is 10s, it means a PID operation is carried out every 10s. The result is then output to control the temperature. If the system heats up quickly, the control period shall not be set too long. For relay output, the lifespan of the relay shall be considered; a short period will shorten the lifespan of relay. Parameter "o1-H, o1-C, o2-H, o2-C"

Is output 1 the linear V output. Is it max 250V @ 5amp? Can it work on a contactor with a 110/120V coil?

Asked by: Tennessee1074
Thank you for your inquiry Tennessee1074. The 250 Vac @ 5 A output you are referring to is for the relay output of the controller. Yes, it can handle any voltage below 250 Vac as long the current rating of the load is below 5 A.
