Advanced Operation and Configuration
Temperature Controller Settings
The following temperature controller manufacturers have models
that communicate with MC5P (the list was valid when this User Guide
was written):
• TekKnow
• Isotech
• Ametek/Jofra SE, ATC, CTC and ITC models,
• HART Scientific, most Industrial Models.
When in doubt whether your controller type or model communi-
cates with MC5P, contact Beamex support. E-mail:
support@beamex.com or use the contact info available on the
prepages of this manual.
The following settings apply in general to all supported temperature
controllers. If certain controllers have device specific data, it is men-
tioned in the general description.
Device Address
The Device Address of TekKnow TC1200
and Isotech is either 1 or 2, depending on
the device configuration.
The Device Address field is not visible for
temperature controllers that do not need
the setting.
Serial communication settings
The communication settings shown in the
window are the ones required by MC5P.
The settings vary depending on the con-
nected temperature controller (usually the
default communication settings of the tem-
perature controller). If the settings have
been changed afterwards, refer to the tem-
perature controller’s manual on how to
change the communication settings.
Note.
Although the temperature controller does measure the tempera-
ture of the bath/dry block it is not passed on to MC5P in MC5P’s
Basic Mode. Therefore it may be of use to also connect a tempera-
ture sensor to a suitable port in MC5P.
When a controller is used in Calibration Mode, Input Mode “Con-
trol” is used when the instrument’s input signal is measured with
MC5P and Input Mode “Ctrl/Mea” when the controller communi-
cates the temperature to MC5P.
