Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is this module primarily used for?

It is designed for high-precision temperature measurement in industrial processes using thermocouples, such as in ovens, environmental chambers, and chemical processing.

Can I mix different thermocouple types on one module?

Yes, each of the 16 channels can be individually configured in the PLC programming software (Unity Pro) for a specific thermocouple type or voltage input.

What is the advantage of 16-bit resolution?

16-bit resolution provides finer measurement granularity. It allows the module to detect very small temperature changes, resulting in more precise control and monitoring.

What type of wiring is required?

You must use shielded, twisted-pair thermocouple extension wire that matches the type (e.g., Type K wire for a Type K thermocouple) to ensure accurate readings and minimize noise.

Does it provide cold junction compensation?

Yes, the module automatically provides cold junction compensation (CJC) for thermocouple measurements, which is essential for accurate temperature readings.
