The Tracker 322 PID controller with a universal input, 10/24VDC-sensor / loop excitation supply output and a serial RS485 interface. Available as 110/230VAC powered or 24VDC / AC powered modules. This module requires a Tracker 340 logic expansion module and/or an analogue output option fitted for PID Control. We quote our base price if no model is selected.

Tracker 340 Logic Expansion Module
- Offers a maximum of 4 extra relays with volt free change over contacts and 2 logic inputs
- Allows an extra 4 process alarms/system alarms or can be used as a PWM control outputs
- Logic inputs can be configured for external control of functions (e.g. latched alarm reset)
- Powered and controlled by the T332 module (mounted to the right of the T332)
- Optional TTL outputs (replaces relays)
Analogue Output Option
- High resolution (16 bit) output for 0-20mA, 4-20mA and 0-10VDC signals
- Can be used as a PID control output (Heat or Cool)
- Scaling to any part of the measurement range including reverse scaling (e.g. 20-4mA)
- Sink or source modes for mA signals
- Independent output damping filter for noisy signals
- Can transmit maximum, minimum or average values, or values set via the serial interface.
