The TC200 Heater Controller is a bench-top controller intended for use with resistive heating elements rated up to 18 Watt. This general purpose instrument can drive various types of heaters including foil (HT10K) and resistive coil (HT15W) types. The unit accepts feedback from either positive (TH100PT) or negative (TH10K) temperature coefficient thermistors, has programmable P, I, and D gains, and will display the temperature in either °C, °F, or K. In addition, the TC200 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. Other safety features include an Open Sensor Alarm that will shutdown the driver if the temperature sensing element is missing or becomes disconnected.
Capable of stand-alone operation from a simple keypad interface, this unit can also operate over an RS232 connection using our TC200 Application Program, LabView drivers, LabWindows drivers, or using a simple command line interface from any terminal window
