This module operates as an intelligent function block, executing PID control loop calculations independently of the main CPU cycle to guarantee real-time thermal response. By integrating temperature measurement, PID computation, and transistor outputs on a single hardware footprint, the unit minimizes network latency and eliminates external transmitter hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: square;
