The Maxwell TC-200S Series is an industrial-grade, three-phase intelligent SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) power regulator designed for precise, stepless control of resistive heating loads in demanding industrial environments. Manufactured by Maxwell Automation Technology Co., Ltd. under the PIDMaxWell brand, the TC-200S combines a fully digital control architecture with an integrated dual-row LED display, multi-function indicator LEDs, and a front-panel keypad, enabling operators to monitor process parameters and adjust output settings directly without external programming tools.
The regulator accepts a wide range of analogue control input signals — including 4–20 mA, 0–20 mA, 0–5 VDC, 0–10 VDC, 1–5 VDC, and 2–10 VDC — and features automatic phase detection, making it straightforward to integrate into new or existing control systems. An integrated soft-start (ramp) function eliminates inrush current surges at power-on, protecting both the SCR modules and the connected heating elements from thermal shock. When the heat-sink temperature exceeds the user-defined alarm threshold (AL1), the unit automatically reduces output power to a configurable safe level (EOP), maintaining process continuity while safeguarding the internal SCR modules from thermal damage.
An optional RS-485 communication interface with Modbus-RTU protocol enables seamless integration into SCADA systems, PLCs, DCS, and industrial IoT networks. The TC-200S supports auto/manual bumpless transfer, run/stop control, and configurable minimum and maximum output limits, providing the flexibility required for a wide range of industrial heating and process control applications. Rated current options of 100 A, 125 A, 150 A, 175 A, 200 A, and 225 A cover load capacities from 48 kW to 190 kW (three-phase), making the TC-200S suitable for small laboratory ovens through to large industrial electric furnaces.

Three-Phase Power Regulation with Auto Phase Detection |
Automatically detects phase-loss conditions and triggers the AL1 alarm, preventing equipment damage due to single-phasing. Phase-loss status is indicated by dedicated L1, L2, and L3 LEDs. |
| Soft-Start (Ramp) Protection | The built-in soft-start function (BUF parameter, range 0.0–100.0) gradually ramps output from the minimum level (OPL) to the maximum level (OPH) at power-on, eliminating inrush current spikes that damage heating elements, fuses, and SCR modules. |
| Over-Temperature Alarm & Output Protection | When the heat-sink temperature exceeds the AL1 threshold, the output is automatically constrained to the EOP (Emergency Output Protection) value. This reduces power to a safe level rather than performing a hard shutdown, maintaining process continuity while protecting the SCR modules. |
| Dual-Row LED Display with Multi-Function Indicators | The integrated 4-digit dual-row LED display simultaneously shows the heat-sink temperature (°C, upper row) and the current output power ratio (%, lower row). Seven LED indicators provide real-time status: PWR (power on), AL1 (over-temperature/phase-loss alarm), L1/L2/L3 (per-phase fault), COM (RS-485 communication activity), and OUT (output status). |
| Configurable Min/Max Output Limits via Front-Panel Keys | Operators can set the minimum output (OPL) and maximum output (OPH) limits directly from the front panel using the SET, ◄, ▼, and ▲ keys, constraining the SCR output within a defined operating range regardless of |
| Auto/Manual Bumpless Transfer | Seamless switching between automatic (analogue input) control and manual control without output bumps or disturbances, ensuring process stability during mode transitions. |
| Run/Stop Function | A dedicated run/stop control function (rUN parameter) allows the SCR output to be enabled or disabled via the front panel or RS-485 command, providing a safe and convenient way to halt output without removing power |
| RS-485 / Modbus-RTU Communication (Optional) | The optional RS-485 interface with Modbus-RTU protocol supports remote monitoring, parameter adjustment, and data logging. Up to 128 devices can be addressed on a single RS-485 bus. Communication speeds of 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, and 19.2 kbps are selectable. |
| Alarm Relay Output (Standard) | A standard relay output (NO + NC contacts) is provided for alarm signalling, enabling integration with external alarm systems, PLCs, or safety circuits without additional modules. |
| Multiple-Unit Parallel/Series Wiring | Up to 4 TC-200S units can be connected in parallel with a single master unit providing the analogue input signal, with all units' output ratios adjustable simultaneously. Serial connection of 2 units controlled by the same signal is |
| Integrated Temperature-Controlled Cooling Fan | The built-in fan activates automatically when the heat-sink temperature reaches ≥60 °C, providing active cooling to maintain continuous operation in high-ambient-temperature environments. An external fan interface is also available for additional cooling capacity. |
