Description
The SCXI-1503 is a highly specialized module designed for accurate temperature measurements using RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors). It carries the part number 194411C-01L (779638-01) and falls under the SCXI & Legacy category, which ensures its compatibility with a range of existing systems and setups.
Featuring 16 channels, this module is capable of handling multiple temperature inputs simultaneously, making it an ideal choice for large-scale industrial applications. Each channel is equipped with built-in excitation, providing 100 μA of current excitation per channel. This is crucial for the precise measurement of temperature as it ensures a stable and accurate signal.
The SCXI-1503 offers amplifier gain options of either 1 or 100, allowing for flexibility in signal amplification to suit various measurement ranges and requirements. Additionally, it includes a lowpass filter with a cutoff frequency of 5 Hz, which is essential for eliminating noise and ensuring the integrity of the temperature signals being measured.
Compatibility with terminal blocks such as SCXI-1306, SCXI-1310, and TBX-96 further enhances the module’s versatility, allowing for easy integration into a wide array of systems. The current source accuracy of ±0.05% with a temperature drift of ±5 ppm/°C underscores the module’s reliability and precision in temperature measurement tasks.
For software support, the module requires NIDAQmx (version 8.1 or later), ensuring seamless operation and data acquisition capabilities. It is recommended that the module undergoes calibration annually or every two years to maintain its accuracy and performance.
The SCXI-1503 is also designed with practicality in mind, weighing 26.3 oz and measuring 7.4 x 6.8 x 1.2 inches (W x H x D), making it compact enough for easy installation without compromising on its functionality or performance.
