Chapter 2 Description
The TC200 Temperature Controller is a bench top controller intended for use with resistive heating elements rated
up to 18 Watts. This general purpose instrument can drive various types of heaters, including foil and resistive coil
types. It accepts feedback from either positive or negative temperature coefficient thermistors, has programmable
P, I, and D gains, and will display the temperature in °C, °F, or K. In addition, it can be programmed for up to five
sequential temperature settings along with associated ramp and hold times for each level. A user-programmable
maximum temperature limit provides protection to the device being heated, and a user-programmable power limit
protects the heating element from being over driven.
Capable of stand-alone operation from a simple keypad interface, the TC200 can be interfaced with a PC
using a standard USB Type B connector and our TC200 Application Program. Interfacing with a PC can
also be achieved by using LabView
or LabWindows
with a simple command-line interface from any
terminal window.
