Planing of setting Artisan on window laptop to control 1kg Coffee Tech Torrefattore.
Using two Fuji PID model PIR3 for Heater control (they are on the approved list). It not clear to me from the ordering page for the TC4 boards, what additional items do I need?

The fuji is compatible and controllable as long as it has the modbus option. This also allows you to skip using the arduino which would make the setup more complicated. You also need to buy a usb to rs485 adapter to hook it to the computer. Some are better than others. It took 3 tries but this one has worked for me and wasn't too expensive.

If I skip the Arduino/TC4 board don't I loose the option of controlling the PIDs thru Artisan?
I understand that it is much quicker and easier to change the PID temp using the software then by using the PID push bottoms.

The fiji pids can be controlled via artisan as long as it has the modbus option. I have a watlow pid setup that can be controlled via artisan.
