How Radix PID Controllers Are Used?

Radix’ PID controllers are designed for core industrial process control applications, where precise and stable regulation of critical parameters is essential.

Process Measurement and Control

1. Temperature control in furnaces, ovens, and heaters
2. Pressure regulation in process lines and vessels
3. Flow and level control in industrial systems
4. Temperature and related process parameter control (where applicable)

Radix PID controllers are engineered to handle temperature, pressure, flow, level, and humidity loops with high accuracy and stability.

Industrial Automation Systems

1. Integration with PLC/DCS-based control systems via Modbus RTU, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP
2. Closed-loop control in automated process environments
3. Multi-loop control for complex industrial processes

These controllers form a critical part of automation architectures, ensuring consistent and repeatable process performance.

OEM Equipment and Control Panels

1. Machine control panels
2. Temperature control systems
3. Custom-built industrial equipment

With support for universal inputs, multiple outputs, and communication protocols, Radix PID controllers are widely used by OEMs for reliable embedded control.

Hazardous and Industrial Environments

Radix PID controllers are designed to operate reliably in demanding industrial conditions, including:

1. Applications requiring flameproof / explosion-proof solutions
2. Electrically noisy environments with high interference from industrial equipment
3. Harsh process conditions involving dust, moisture, and temperature variations

Certain Radix PID controller models are available in flameproof enclosures certified by Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO), making them suitable for hazardous area installations in industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

PESO is the Government of India’s regulatory authority responsible for approving equipment used in explosive and hazardous environments, ensuring compliance with strict safety standards for operation in such conditions.

Additionally, Radix PID controllers are designed in line with relevant international standards and are available with CE compliance (model-dependent), supporting safe and reliable deployment in industrial automation systems.

Radix PID controllers are engineered with this philosophy: Deliver predictable, stable, and precise control across real-world operating conditions. Hundreds of thousands of Radix PID controllers also known as Temperature Controllers are in use for over 3 decades, in every possible industry in India. Hundreds of OEMs use these PID Controllers in their equipment. This bears testimony to the reliability of Radix PID Controllers.
