Series 16B 1/16 DIN Temperature/Process Controller
Monitor and control temperature or process applications with precision using the Series 16B controllers. The units offer two separate outputs for dual loop control in direct or reverse acting. Select relay, voltage, or current output combined with a second relay output.
The Series 16B provides dual LED displays for local indication of process value and setpoint value. Output status, engineering scale, auto tuning and alarm status is also indicated on the front panel.
Control methods include ON/OFF, PID, self-tune and manual tune. PID control is supported with 64 ramp/soak control actions. Two additional alarm outputs are standard on the Series 16B. The alarm outputs can be quickly configured by using the thirteen built-in alarm functions.
The controller easily communicates with other external devices such as PC's and PLC's for data search and system integration using the built-in RS-485 interface. Up to 247 communication addresses are available with transmission speeds of 2400 to 38,400 bps. The Series 16B also features universal input, selectable °F/°C, selectable resolution and security functions.
Product Applications
- Control temperature for boilers, damper control based on temperature or pressure.
- Hot plates/melt pots.

- Environmental chambers.
- Medical equipment.
- Food service equipment.
Questions
- Question
- We are trying to program a temperature control and receive the following message - Communication error > address 01: no response from controller at register 795 (031A). What could be causing this error?
- Answer
- The register 795 is a Modbus register. One of the reasons why there is a communication error is the -992 for the RS-485 communication is LOVELINK Protocol, if you are trying to communicate with Modbus® protocol, it will not work. See the LoveLink™III Software.
- Question
- How to change the selectable °F/°C on a series 16B love control.
- Answer
- Please see page 20 in the instruction manual. The parameter to change from °F to °C is TPUn. This parameter will only be available if your inPT is the Thermocouple or RTD as stated.
- Question
- I have a Love 16B-33-LV temp controller that came with a DC01 jumper. Can you tell me what this jumper is for?
- Answer
- The jumper is used when you are using a current input (4-20 mA) signal into the controller. If you are using an RTD or thermocouple probe you do not need this jumper.
