KEEP HEATING & COOLING
PROCESSES UNDER CONTROL.
TM Engineering assists with temperature controllers and their integration into industrial machinery.
Suitable control can help a process reach and maintain its intended operating temperature, supporting more consistent production in applications such as heat tunnels, heated tanks and packaging equipment.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
INDUSTRIAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL
FROM ESTABLISHED BRANDS.
Controller selection depends on the process, sensor type, temperature range, output method and surrounding control system.
MEASURE THE PROCESS.
CONTROL THE RESPONSE.
A temperature controller compares a measured temperature with the chosen setpoint and adjusts an output to influence heating or cooling.
On/off control switches around a defined range, while PID control continuously calculates the response needed to reduce temperature error. The appropriate method depends on the process and its required stability.
ON / OFF
CONTROL
On/off control switches the control output around a defined operating range.
PID
CONTROL
PID control continuously calculates the response needed to reduce temperature error.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
BUILT AROUND THE PROCESS.
The controller, sensor input and output method need to match the heating or cooling application.
STANDALONE
CONTROLLERS
Standalone temperature controllers for suitable heating and cooling applications.
PID OR
ON / OFF CONTROL
PID or on/off control selected according to the process requirements.
THERMOCOUPLE &
RTD COMPATIBILITY
Controllers compatible with specified thermocouple or RTD inputs.
RELAY / SSR /
ANALOGUE OUTPUT
Relay, solid-state relay drive or analogue outputs as required by the application.
TEMPERATURE
INDICATION
Temperature indication and alarm functions where supported by the selected model.
MACHINE &
PANEL CONTROL
Temperature controllers can be integrated into the wider machine or process control panel.
CONTROLLER. SENSOR.
OUTPUT. ONE SYSTEM.
The controller, temperature sensor and output switching device must be selected as a system.
Sensor type, temperature range, heating load, response time and control output all affect performance.
TM Engineering can assist with panel integration and setup.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
DOESN'T OPERATE IN ISOLATION.
Temperature control can form part of the wider machine control arrangement, with the controller, sensor and output hardware incorporated into the panel design.
Depending on the selected equipment, temperature indication and supported alarm functions can provide useful operating information.
NORMAL CONTROL AND
PROTECTIVE CONTROL ARE NOT ALWAYS THE SAME THING.
Where overheating presents a hazard, the design may require independent over-temperature protection in addition to normal process control.
START WITH THE
TEMPERATURE RANGE.
Tell us the operating temperature range, sensor type, heater or cooling arrangement and electrical supply.
If replacing a controller, include a photograph of its model number, terminal connections and existing settings where available.
