TCU Server.
Climatic chamber control direct from EC-Lab® software.
The TCU Server integrates with EC-Lab® and BT-Lab® to provide direct control of climatic chambers and other temperature control units.
TCU Server: Integrated Temperature Control for Electrochemical Testing
The TCU (Temperature Control Unit) Server is an advanced feature developed by BioLogic to enhance environmental control in electrochemical experiments. This tool integrates seamlessly with BioLogic’s potentiostat and cycler control software, EC-Lab® and BT-Lab®, providing direct control of climatic chambers and other temperature control units.

Key Features
Software Integration: TCU Server acts as a bridge between BioLogic’s EC-Lab® and BT-Lab® software and compatible Temperature Control Units (TCUs). This integration allows researchers to manage both electrochemical experiments and environmental conditions from a single interface.
Wide Compatibility: The system supports a variety of TCUs, including:
- Watlow F4 and F4T series
- Eurotherm 3504
- ITS-e
- Binder MK series climate chambers (with MB2 controller)
Multi-Unit Control: A unique feature of TCU Server is its ability to control multiple TCUs from a single computer. This capability is particularly useful in setups where different experimental conditions are required for each channel or cell.
Synchronization Capabilities: Users can control multiple cells via a pre-programmable synchronization process, enabling complex, multi-variable experiments with precise environmental control.
Flexibility and Scalability: The system’s design allows for one TCU per channel if needed, providing maximum flexibility in experimental design and execution.
Applications
TCU Server is particularly valuable for:
- Battery testing under controlled environmental conditions
- Temperature-dependent electrochemical studies
- Multi-cell experiments requiring individual temperature control
- Research requiring precise synchronization of electrochemical and environmental parameters
By integrating temperature control directly into BioLogic’s EC-Lab and BT-Lab software, TCU Server enhances the capabilities of researchers in fields where environmental conditions play a crucial role in experimental outcomes.
