Key Features
High-Density Channel Configuration: Eight independent input channels on a single module allow simultaneous connection of up to eight thermocouple sensors, maximizing cabinet space utilization and reducing system hardware costs .
Broad Thermocouple Compatibility: Supports an extensive range of thermocouple types including J, K, T, E, N, R, S, B, and C, providing flexibility for diverse temperature measurement requirements across different industrial processes .
High-Accuracy Measurement: 16-bit resolution combined with ±0.1% full-scale accuracy ensures precise temperature readings, meeting the demands of critical process control applications .
Cold Junction Compensation: Integrated cold junction compensation circuitry eliminates measurement errors caused by temperature variations at the terminal connection point, maintaining accuracy across the full operating temperature range .
Linearization Function: Built-in linearization converts the inherently non-linear thermocouple output into a linear digital signal, simplifying PLC programming and improving control loop performance .
Open Circuit Detection: Automatic detection of broken or disconnected thermocouple sensors enables rapid fault identification and reduces troubleshooting downtime .
Channel-to-Channel Isolation: Electrical isolation between individual input channels and between channels and the system power supply prevents signal crosstalk and protects the PLC from field wiring faults .
Compact and Rugged Design: Housed in a compact form factor with an aluminum alloy enclosure, the module withstands harsh industrial environments and installs easily into standard Series 90-30 racks .
