More Information

TE Technology TC-36-25 RS232 Temperature Controller for Thermoelectric Coolers Overview

Features:

  • Operates as a Stand-Alone Controller or With a Computer Monitor
  • Bi-Directional, Solid-State H-Bridge Operation for Both Heating and Cooling
  • Can be Configured to Control Both High and Low Voltage Thermoelectric (TE) Devices
The TE Technology TC-36-25 RS232 Series Temperature Controllers for Thermoelectric Coolers provide bi-directional (heating and cooling) temperature control for thermoelectric devices. Resistive heaters can also be controlled. An H-bridge configuration is used for the power output stage. The output stage is made from solid-state N-channel MOSFETs (no relays or mechanical components are used). These transistors are highly efficient and allow for the bi-directional flow of current through the thermoelectric coolers. Their high efficiency reduces the waste heat generated by the controller and allows for a compact design.

This controller is programmable via the RS232 communication port for direct interface with a compatible computer. Field selectable parameters or data acquisition in a half duplex mode can be performed. The software is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows XP. The software provides a graphical user interface for setting control parameters and receiving feedback from the temperature sensor. However, the command set is also provided so that qualified personnel can use the controller as an embedded control, or they can create a custom program interface using LabVIEW, for example. The software can also be used to instruct the TC-36-25 RS232 to save the desired control parameters to the controller's non-volatile memory. This allows the controller to be disconnected from the computer and operated as a stand-alone controller. When operating as a stand-alone controller, the controller can be set to always control to the stored set point or it can be set up to accept a proportional signal to vary the set point as required.

Mechanically, the controller's printed circuit board is mounted to a metal bracket that is suitable for either horizontal or vertical orientation. The controller can operate in ambient temperatures from 0C to 60C without generally requiring additional heat sinking. The controller is intended to be used in locations where the controller can be protected by a secondary enclosure or other means of protection.

The TE Technology TC-36-25 RS232 Temperature Controller for Thermoelectric Coolers may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
