A thermocouple is a device for measuring temperature. It comprises two dissimilar metallic wires joined together to form a junction. When the junction is heated or cooled, a small voltage is generated in the electrical circuit of the thermocouple which can be measured, and this corresponds to temperature. Basics of Thermocouples A thermocouple consists of
A PID controller or controller is a very advanced electronic thermostat that ensures that the temperature, for example of an oven or proofing cabinet, reaches and retains the set temperature very accurately (and as quickly as possible). PID controller PID stands for Proportionally Integrating and Differentiating. A PID controller is a very advanced thermostat (temperature controller). A
