C82 PID Temperature Controller｜Flexible 48×96 Process Control
Advanced ramp/soak, fuzzy + PID logic, USB and Modbus communication
The C82 is a high-performance PID temperature controller with an industry-standard 48×96 mm panel, designed for complex thermal processes. Featuring fuzzy logic + PID control with auto-tuning, it ensures fast stabilization and accurate control. The unit supports universal sensor inputs, 3 configurable outputs, and optional analog retransmission and Remote Setpoint input. Ramp/soak programming allows up to 16 segments for precise profile control, while USB and RS-485 Modbus RTU provide flexible configuration and system communication. The C82 is ideal for industrial heating, drying, thermal chambers, and process equipment where reliability and flexibility are key.
Streamlined Control Panel for Fast Access
48×96 mm interface with 4-key keypad and status LEDs
The C82 features a compact yet functional 48×96 mm front panel with a 4-key keypad layout designed for intuitive parameter setting. Each button supports key operations such as navigation, value change, reset, and mode switching—making it easy for users to adjust control settings and alarm functions quickly. Status LEDs clearly indicate output, alarm, and mode states, reducing setup errors and improving field visibility. This panel layout balances simplicity with control depth, making it ideal for both OEM integration and operator use.
High-Brightness Multi-Color LCD Display
Color-coded visual alerts for clear and safe operation
The Core Series features a high-brightness LCD screen with multiple color indicators, enhancing visibility in various lighting conditions — even under harsh industrial environments. Each color is intelligently assigned to represent key system statuses such as normal operation, alarm, or output activity, allowing operators to identify conditions at a glance. Whether viewed on-site or from a distance, the display ensures quick recognition, reduced errors, and improved response time.
Universal Input for Various Sensor Types
Supports thermocouple, RTD, voltage, and current inputs
The Core Series controllers support a wide range of input types, including thermocouples (J, K, T, E, etc.), RTDs (PT100 DIN/JIS), voltage (0–10 V), and current (4–20 mA) signals. This universal input design makes them compatible with most industrial temperature sensors, ensuring flexible integration across different applications.
Flexible Output Options for Control and Alarms
Relay, SSR, and analog output available
Core
Series models offer versatile output options, including relay contact, SSR drive (pulsed voltage), and analog output (4–20 mA or 0–10 V). Depending on the model, up to two output channels can be configured for control or alarm functions. Optional features like CT input and event input further enhance system responsiveness and integration.
Fuzzy PID Technology
Smarter Control with Less Overshoot and Faster Response
Fuzzy logic is combined with traditional PID control to deliver smarter and more adaptive temperature regulation. Unlike standard PID controllers that require manual fine-tuning for each application, fuzzy PID dynamically adjusts control responses based on real-time process behavior. The result is faster stabilization, reduced overshoot, and improved resilience to disturbances—ideal for processes where precision and speed are critical.
Remote Setpoint Input for External Control
Accepts analog signals for dynamic setpoint change
The C72 temperature controllers support Remote Setpoint (RSP) functionality, allowing external analog signals—such as those from PLCs, analog controllers, or sensors—to dynamically adjust the control setpoint in real time. This feature accepts standard 4–20 mA or 0–10 V signals and is ideal for applications requiring synchronized multi-zone control or integration with process automation systems. With RSP, the Core Series becomes more flexible and adaptive, ensuring precise temperature control based on real-time process conditions.
Built-in Programming Port for Fast Configuration
Micro USB interface streamlines setup and firmware upgrades
The Core Series is equipped with a built-in micro USB programming port that allows users to configure parameters and update firmware directly from a PC. With the optional USB configuration cable and dedicated software, engineers can complete setup in minutes—without powering the device through system wiring. This feature greatly reduces installation time, simplifies maintenance, and ensures flexible deployment across various projects.
BC-SET Pro Configuration Software
Easy parameter setup and firmware upgrade for Core Series controllers
BC-SET Pro is the official configuration software for BrainChild’s Core Series temperature controllers. With a user-friendly interface, it allows engineers and technicians to configure parameters, copy settings between devices, and perform firmware upgrades via USB connection. The software supports offline setup and can store multiple configuration files, making it ideal for OEM production lines, system integrators, and field engineers.
Batch Read/Write for Multiple Controllers
BC-SET allows users to connect multiple controllers of the same model and perform batch parameter read/write by defining a node address range. This feature significantly streamlines configuration in OEM or multi-device environments.
Clear and Accessible System Menu
The system menu offers quick access to key operations like Rescan (F5), Read Data (F6), Write Data (F7), Write Multiple (F8), and Communication Settings (F9). Built-in hotkeys support fast, efficient navigation.
Intuitive Communication Setup Interface
The communication settings window lets users define COM port, baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits — with a “Default” button for quick reset and “Save and Exit” to finalize setup. Designed to reduce setup errors.
Visual Profile Editor for Programmable Controllers
For controllers with profile functionality, BC-SET provides a graphical editor to configure temperature ramp/soak segments. Users can easily read, modify, and write profile parameters for precise thermal process control.
