Functional engineering application
The Pixsys ATR444 is the apex process instrumentation controller in the Pixsys Blue Line family, housed in a commanding 1/8 DIN vertical panel enclosure (48 mm width × 96 mm height × 69 mm depth, cutout 45 × 92 mm). Engineered for thermal processing furnaces, ceramic kilns, environmental chambers, and multi-stage agro-drying operations, the ATR444 integrates a hardware cycle programmer supporting ramp-soak profiles of up to 12 steps with programmable end-of-step recovery and waiting functions. The visual interface provides an exhaustive process overview: a 4-digit 0.63" display for primary Process Variable (PV), a 5-digit 0.39" display for Setpoint (SP), a 5-digit 0.33" auxiliary display for output percentage or step time, and a dynamic 20-segment LED bar graph for immediate visual indication of output power or deviation error. The ATR444 universal analog input stage digitizes standard thermocouples (K, S, R, J, T, N, B with cold junction compensation across -25..85 °C), RTDs (Pt100, Pt500, Pt1000, Ni100, PTC 1k, NTC 10k), linear process voltage and current (0..10 V, 0/4..20 mA, 0..60 mV), and potentiometers up to 150 kΩ. High-speed sampling (up to 2.1 ms) and 16-bit resolution guarantee precise control across rapid transients. Output and networking capabilities on the ATR444-14ABC-T configuration include four electromechanical relays rated at 5 A / 250 V AC, two digital SSR outputs (12/24 V DC), a galvanically isolated 4..20 mA or 0..10 V DC analog output (40,000 points resolution) for proportional actuator modulation or PV/SP retransmission, a 50 mA Current Transformer (TA) input for heater element break monitoring, and galvanically isolated RS485 Modbus RTU serial communication. Wireless smartphone NFC configuration via the MyPixsys app and on-board Micro-USB PC connection enable rapid commissioning. Powered by an extended 24..230 V AC/DC switching supply with 2.5 kV isolation and IP65 front sealing.
High-performance 48×96 mm (1/8 DIN) vertical process controller with triple digital display, LED bar graph, built-in 12-step ramp-soak cycle programmer, RS485, and NFC.

Common questions on this part
The ATR444 includes an integrated setpoint profile programmer capable of executing cycles of up to 12 steps. Each step can be programmed with a ramp gradient (heating or cooling rate) and a dwell/soak time at setpoint. It includes wait functions (holding the timer if Process Variable lags behind Setpoint) and power-recovery options, making it ideal for ceramic kilns, heat treatment furnaces, and tea drying cycles.
The ATR444 provides three simultaneous digital displays: the top 4 digits (0.63") indicate the active Process Variable (PV), the middle 5 digits (0.39") display the Setpoint (SP), and the bottom 5 digits (0.33") display auxiliary data such as cycle time remaining, step number, or output percentage. The LED bar graph provides an instant visual indicator of output power or deviation error.
Yes. The ATR444-14ABC-T model includes four 5 A / 250 V AC electromechanical relays, two 12/24 V DC SSR outputs, and a dedicated 4..20 mA / 0..10 V DC analog output. This allows continuous proportional control of SCR power packs or modulating valves while simultaneously operating safety limit relays and alarm horns.
The ATR444 conforms to the standard 1/8 DIN vertical format with outer bezel dimensions of 48 mm (width) × 96 mm (height). It installs into a standard rectangular panel cutout of 45 mm (width) × 92 mm (height) using supplied heavy-duty ratcheting side brackets.
