Multi-channel temperature controllers - QTC1-4 modular controllers

QX1 multi-channel temperature controllers (QTC1-4/QTC1-2) - precise control of industrial processes

Multi-channel temperature controllers QX1 (QTC1-4/QTC1-2) for injection molding machines, extruders, packaging machines and multi-zone furnaces from ACSE Sp. z o.o. are modern temperature controllers designed for industrial plants that require stable, efficient and reliable process control. Thanks to their modular design and integration capability with PLC, HMI and SCADA systems, QX1 controllers enable control of multiple process zones from one device, significantly reducing wiring costs and installation space requirements.

Advantages of QTC1-4/QTC1-2 modular multi-channel controllers

Precise PID control
QX1 multi-channel controllers use advanced PID algorithms, including Fast-PID, Slow-PID, Gap-PID, 2DOF PID and ON/OFF modes, allowing control to be adapted to the specifics of each industrial process. As a result, temperature, humidity or pressure are maintained within narrow tolerance limits, ensuring high product quality and process repeatability.

Modular multi-channel design
The QX1 system consists of independent four-channel modules (QTC1-40T) and power and communication modules (QTC1-4PT), allowing configuration of up to 1024 control loops. The modular design facilitates future system expansion and minimizes production downtime during plant modernization.

Reduced wiring and space savings
By using one multi-channel controller instead of many individual devices, the number of electrical connections can be reduced by up to 75%, resulting in lower installation costs and a reduced risk of failure.

Easy integration with industrial automation
QX1 controllers support communication via RS-485 ModBus RTU and 24 V DC power supply, enabling easy connection to PLC, HMI and SCADA systems. This makes the system flexible and compatible with various industrial automation platforms.

Multi-zone process control
QX1 controllers are well suited for applications requiring simultaneous control of multiple temperature or process zones, such as industrial furnaces, dryers, autoclaves or HVAC systems.

Industrial applications of QTC1-4/QTC1-2 controllers

QX1 multi-channel controllers are used in many industries, including:

Injection molding machines, extrusion lines and extruders - precise temperature control of heating zones in plastics processing equipment.
Packaging machines - advanced temperature control of sealing jaws in packaging and sealing machines.
Food industry - temperature control of ovens, heating tunnels and dryers.
Chemical and pharmaceutical industry - precise control of reaction, drying, sterilization and incubation processes.
Power industry and laboratories - temperature control in test and research systems.
HVAC systems and industrial air conditioning - temperature and humidity control in multiple zones of production buildings.

Multi-channel control enables several processes to be controlled simultaneously, increasing production efficiency and minimizing the risk of errors.
