Great for:
- Maintain setpoint by utilising two types of plant (heating and cooling)
- Dual PID action for precise operation
- Ramp and soak applications
- Remote control with RS485
Typical uses:
- Brewing/fermentation control
- Climate/environmental control
- Machine and OEM process equipment
N1200-HC is a specialised controller capable of using two control outputs to heat and cool the process temperature. Normal temperature controllers are only capable of controlling in one direction and are set to either heating or cooling. The N1200-HC will maintain a setpoint using a combination of both direct and reverse action.
This is our premium PID controller from Novus Automation with a huge number of features making it one of the most powerful controllers on the market at this price range. Added to this is the standard 3 year Novus warranty and the option to configure with free software.

The N1200 process controller was designed for high performance control in the most demanding applications. Its advanced and consolidated Auto-Adaptive PID algorithm ensures fast and highly accurate response in very dynamic processes with complex profiles.
N1200 has the fastest sampling rate among competitors, which allows the PID control to actuate with great responsiveness ensuring the correct process dynamics. Both electronic robustness and anti-flame material enclosure comply with the main world-class approvals for industry devices.
Advanced configuration of all parameters and fine tuning can be easily and quickly achieved via the USB port by using the free-of-charge NOVUS configuration software.
Besides the standard parameters settings, N1200 also performs customized ramp and soak temperature profiles by programming up to 20 user-configured recipes or up to 180 segments.
