Description
The FieldPoint module with the part number 777518-120 is designated as model FP-TC-120. This module is a 16-Bit Thermocouple Input Module designed to facilitate precise temperature measurements in a variety of industrial applications. It features 8-input channels, allowing for multiple temperature readings to be taken simultaneously.
The FP-TC-120 supports a wide range of voltage ranges, including ±25, ±50, ±100, and –20 to 80 mV, ensuring compatibility with a variety of sensor outputs. It is compatible with a broad spectrum of thermocouple types, specifically types B, J, R, K, S, N, T, and E, which allows for flexibility in temperature sensing across different environments and applications.
This module utilizes a delta-sigma ADC type for its analog-to-digital conversion, ensuring high fidelity in temperature readings with a resolution of 16 bits. The temperature reading ranges it supports are extensive, from –454 to 3,218 °F, 0 to 2,048 K, and –270 to 1,770 °C, which covers a broad spectrum of potential industrial temperature conditions.
With an input bandwidth of 3 Hz, the FP-TC-120 is capable of capturing rapid changes in temperature, making it suitable for dynamic processes. It also features overvoltage protection up to ±40 V, safeguarding the module against unexpected voltage spikes. The input current is maintained at a typical 35 nA and can go up to 140 nA max, indicating low power consumption. Additionally, the input noise is limited to ±1 LSB peak-to-peak, minimizing errors in temperature readings.
