32-Channel Thermocouple Input Expansion Device for TC-32
The Digilent MCC TC-32-EXP adds 32 differential thermocouple (TC) inputs to the MCC TC-32 for a total of up to 64 TC inputs, 16 digital inputs, and 64 digital outputs, which can be configured as alarms. All DIO channels are isolated. The MCC TC-32-EXP is powered by the host, MCC TC-32.
The TC-32 (sold separately) and TC-32-EXP offer exceptional performance and accuracy for thermocouple (TC) measurement applications at a low cost per channel. Offering both Ethernet and USB ports, the TC-32 provides 32 channels of 24-bit resolution for medium-channel installations. The TC-32-EXP adds 32 high-precision channels to support larger installations.
Accuracy is designed into the product with sigma-delta 24-bit ADCs, differential inputs, TC-to-host isolation, and cold-junction compensation (CJC) for each channel to reduce the effects of thermal gradients.
With alarming digital notifications when a temperature exceeds programmed limits, the TC-32 and TC-32-EXP offer the perfect solution for temperature monitoring applications, including server rooms, refrigerated storage, and long-run test cells.
The TC-32-EXP connects to the host TC-32 through a 40-pin expansion connector. The host TC-32 provides all power to the TC-32-EXP. The TC-32-EXP supports all of the TC input and digital I/O features of the host TC-32, including built-in cold-junction compensation and open thermocouple detection.
