With SafeChange™ PPE's RMB Series module is a microprocessor-based, single zone temperature controller
Hot Swap Feature! specifically designed for runnerless molding applications. It features an easy-to-use operator
keypad, two LED displays, and three discrete indicators for heater-current, alarm, and manual
mode. Units have built-in diagnostics and are fully self-tuning. RMB modules are available in
15 and 30 amp versions and are compatible with all previous "G" series mainframes.

RMB modules provide fully self-tuning, line voltage compensating, automatic closed-loop
temperature control over a wide range of operating conditions. A single chip microprocessor
performs all the proportional, integral and derivative (PID) control functions required to maintain
setpoint temperature, through an advanced auto-tune process. No operator calculations or
presetting of values is needed.
