N74

4-channel Board-type
PID Temperature Controller

N74 4-channel PID temperature controller board

Efficient use of space.
Precise control.

M74 control technology in an embedded control board.

  • 4-channel control

    Multiple control channels on one board

  • SG-PID control

    Super 2-DOF PID

  • RS-485 communication

    Connect to external systems

A board designed to fit inside your equipment
to help save space and optimize system costs.

01Features

  • Embedded board design

    Integrates M74 control technology on a single board for efficient installation inside equipment.

  • 4-channel control

    Supports TC, RTD, voltage and current inputs to control multiple temperature points on one board.

  • SG-PID control

    Super 2-degree-of-freedom PID and variable sampling control accommodate a range of operating conditions.

  • RS-485 connectivity

    Connects to external devices via Modbus ASCII/RTU, PC-Link or TL-Link.

  • Input/output isolation

    Provides isolation between input terminals, between input and output terminals, and between input and power terminals.

  • D74C console support

    Add a D74C control and display console for standalone operation without communication with a host system.

Same dimensions and mounting holes as N50

The board dimensions and mounting-hole positions match N50, allowing the existing mounting structure to be used.

This describes mechanical compatibility. Check each model's specifications for power supply, wiring and control configuration.
