FP0 Thermocouple Input Expansion Units

Enable High Precision Temperature Control at Low Cost

The FP0-TC4 and FP0-TC8 thermocouple units are suitable for user-friendly 
temperature acquisition using standard thermocouples with
high precision.

■

  Up to three units can be added to each control unit, enabling temperature 

control of up to 24 channels.

■

  The temperature data obtained using the thermocouple is converted to the 

digital value to be read into the FP0 control unit.

■

  Standard types of thermocouples can be used: K, J, T and R

■

   3 temperature measurement ranges are available:

-100°C to +500°C (thermocouple types: K and J)
-100°C to +400°C (thermocouple type : T)
- 0°C to +1500°C (thermocouple type : R)

■

  The temperature data measured using the sensor is converted to degrees 

Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit inside the thermocouple unit.

■

  The converted data (°C or °F) is averaged, so that even unstable input 

signals can be properly read.

■

  Broken thermocouples can be detected.
