Te Technology TC-36-25-RS485 Temperature Controller that provides bi-directional temperature control for thermoelectric devices Simple Type: Temperature Controller

The TC-36-25-RS485 provides bi-directional temperature control for thermoelectric devices, either independently or with supplemental resistive heaters for both cooling and heating applications. The controller uses solid-state MOSFET devices in an electrical "H" bridge configuration to automatically control the direction of current simply based on the temperature set point. The controller can be communicated with RS485 and programmed directly through a personal computer when used with an optional RS485 adapter. This method of communication allows multiple controllers to be assigned individual addresses, daisy-chained together, and communicated with using only one port on your computer. The supplied communications software,compatible with Windows 95/98/XP/NT, provides a graphical user interface; no prior programming experience is required to use it. The software was developed using LabVIEW, but LabVIEW is not required to run it. However, the command set is provided so that qualified personnel can use it is as an embedded control or create a custom program interface. The LabVIEW source code is available upon request.
