General Description
The TCI-C is a stand-alone cabinet mounted electronic universal controller with two autonomous control loops. Each
control loop may use up to 2 PID sequences and 6 binary sequences. The TCI-C11 features 1 independent control loop, 2
universal inputs, 2 binary outputs and one analog output, the TCI-C22 offers 2 independent control loops, 3 universal
inputs, 1 PT1000 input, 2 binary relays outputs and 2 analog outputs. A detailed configuration is possible by following a
simple setup routine. The TCI can be configured using the standard operation terminal. No special tool or software is
required.
