The Watlow PM PLUS controller picks up where the EZ-ZONE PM Integrated Temperature Limit Controller left off. Full of new features which allow for a simpler and less confusing user experience. At a glance, it is easy to see how this Watlow controller edges out the competition by opting for a simpler controller and also eliminating the number of cables required when configuring it.
One of the best things about the PM PLUS is that it is backward compatible with legacy Watlow EZ-ZONE PM controllers while at the same time offering many considerable upgrades and features. The controller is fitted with Bluetooth capabilities and is easily controlled remotely by Watlow’s EZ-LINK™ mobile app.
Like Watlow’s original EZ-ZONE PM, the PM PLUS can be ordered through Watlow distributors such as Hi-Watt as a PID temperature controller, or an integrated controller with multiple functionalities all rolled into a single unit.
