Thermostat Temperature Control Using a RIO Pocket PLC

Learn how to implement precise temperature control for refrigeration systems using Galil's RIO-4712x controller and SCB-483x6 Thermocouple Interface. This application note demonstrates how to control conventional AC compressors through thermostat-style control loops when high-precision PID circulation heater/chillers are not available. The guide covers hardware setup with K-type thermocouples, DMC programming for deterministic temperature monitoring, and relay-controlled AC power switching for compressor operation.
