Thermon, Inc Controls & Monitoring TraceNet™ TCM2

The well established Thermon TraceNet range has now been extended by the TraceNet ECM - Electronic Control Module. This highly accurate state of the art controller has a very wide control range and can be located in hazardous areas. It has been designed for a wide range of ambient temperatures where heat tracing for freeze protection or temperature maintenance is applied: from the Arctic -74°C (-76°F) to Desert 55°C (+131°F) environments. The ECM is capable of switching high current ratings, and can also be supplied as a controller and/or limiter, for pipe or wall mounting. It can be set in degrees Centigrade or Fahrenheit and provided with various data highway communication capabilities. (Standard communication port RS485-MODBUS RTU protocol) These characteristics make the TraceNet ECM the most versatile and affordable local to application (or 'pipe mounted') controller in the market.

The TraceNet TCM2 is a microprocessor based temperature control and monitoring module developed specifically for heat tracing applications. The unit provides control and monitoring capabilities via digital information display for one or two heat tracing circuits with input from up to two RTDs per circuit. Up to 247 TraceNet TCM2 modules can be interconnected in a RS485 communication network, for a total cumulative distance of up to 1220 meters (4000 feet). For additional communication distances, a repeater option is available.
