PAX®2C Advanced PID Controller

PROCESS CONTROL EQUIPMENT

Red Lion PAX2 Series

Dual-Line PID Controller

Red Lion’s advanced PAX®2C PID controllers feature eld-installable option cards, universal inputs and on-demand auto-tuning, providing full PID control in temperature and process applications

PAX2C PID controllers offer a conﬁgurable seven zone tri-color color display with bar graphs and selectable unit annunciators. Each display zone is independently conﬁgurable, providing visual indication of control, process and/or alarm status.

Red Lion’s PAX2C accepts up to three ﬁeld-installable cards, easily expanding the controllers core functionality to meet any PID control application requirement. The PAX2C can be populated in more than 150 conﬁgurations to address a wide range of control applications or even perform multi-zone PID control on a single display. Using Red Lion’s Crimson® software and built-in USB programming port, conﬁguration data can be downloaded to the PAX2C directly.
