General Specification

The analog input terminal allows four thermocouples to be connected directly. The Bus Terminal’s circuitry can operate thermocouple sensors using the 2-wire technique. Linearization over the full temperature range, which can be selected freely, is realized with the aid of a microprocessor. The error LEDs indicate a broken wire. Compensation for the cold junction is made through an internal temperature measurement at the terminals. Can also be used for mV measurement.

  • 24-volt power is not passed through AKT-AN-200-000 and AKT-AN-400-000 thermocouple modules. To get 24VDC power to devices that need it (such as an AKT_AT-410-000 Output module) there are two possible solutions. :

    • Place the module requiring 24VDC before the thermocouple module.
    • Add a power feed module (AKT-PS-024-000 or AKT-PSF-024-000) after the thermocouple module.
