Temperature Controllers

Sun, 10/02/2008 - 21:35 — cscutcher

This is a PCB product suitable for controlling single and multiple TEC arrays. Its output is bipolar, both heating and cooling, and is Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) to provide a continuously varying output to ensure system temperature.

The unit can be remotely controlled from a PC using the RS232 serial interface. This allows parametric set up using the included interface software allowing it to be configured to meet exact system requirements. Including set point, alarm temperatures absolute temperature limits and PID control performance. The configuration data is stored locally on the controller, after just setting this once the unit will operate standalone. The command data set is included allowing the unit to be controlled as part of any test set up. Additional features are now also provided, auto-tuning for the PID parameters, a single action in which your system thermodynamics are measured and the PID requirements are calculated and implemented. Also there are test modes for temperature ramping or temperature cycling between 2 temperatures.
