Description
The Yokogawa UT35A Indicating Controller delivers high-speed sampling, multi-loop PID regulation, and built-in ladder sequence control engineered specifically for heat treatment furnaces, chemical reactors, semiconductor tooling, and industrial test benches.
Advanced Process Regulation with the Yokogawa UT35A Indicating Controller
Engineered for mission-critical automation systems, the Yokogawa UT35A Indicating Controller features a rapid 50 ms measurement sampling period. This high processing speed ensures precise thermal loop control, minimal setpoint overshoot, and immediate rejection of rapid line disturbances. Its active 14-segment color LCD display presents process variables, setpoint values, and intuitive navigation text with exceptional visual contrast across broad viewing angles.
The instrument incorporates sequence control based on standard ladder logic programming directly within the controller architecture. By executing internal sequence algorithms alongside primary PID functions, it coordinates external digital I/O, alarm interlocks, and timer logic without requiring an external micro-PLC. Equipped with standard RS-485 and optional Ethernet communications, the unit links smoothly to supervisory control systems, HMIs, and plant-wide DCS architectures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of the built-in ladder sequence control in the Yokogawa UT35A?
The integrated ladder engine allows the Yokogawa UT35A Indicating Controller to handle digital interlocking, automated recipe selection, and auxiliary sequencing directly within the controller, eliminating the need to install a separate micro-PLC for basic machine safety and operational routines.
Can the display color change dynamically based on process alarm status?
Yes. The active 14-segment color LCD can be programmed to switch colors automatically (e.g., from green or white to red) when high or low limit alarm thresholds are breached, ensuring rapid visual recognition from the plant floor.
Which communication protocols are natively supported?
The controller supports standard RS-485 serial communication with Modbus RTU and PC-link protocols, as well as optional 10/100 Mbps Ethernet communication supporting Modbus TCP/IP for direct integration into industrial SCADA and DCS networks.
