IC200ALG630
Analog Input, 16 Bit Thermocouple, 7 Channels
Installation Instructions
The preferred installation technique is to mount the Thermocouple Module on a
VersaMax Connector-style I/O Carrier (IC200CHS003) and connect
thermocouples to an Interposing Thermocouple I/O Terminals (IC200CHS014).
The Interposing Thermocouple-style I/O Carrier provides both box-style wiring
terminals and a built-in thermistor for Local Cold Junction Compensation. It
connects to the Connector-Style Carrier via cable as displayed in the following
figure. This allows the thermocouple connections to be located away from the
I/O modules in the system.
However, it is also possible to mount the Thermocouple Module on one of the
terminal-style carriers (box-style, spring-style, compact-style, or barrier-style)
and provide Local Cold Junction Compensation by using a kit that includes the
correct type of thermistor (IC690ACC905). Both methods are displayed in the
following figure. The thermistor kit must be installed on the A9 and A10
terminals of the carrier.
If the module will only be used to measure millivolt inputs, not thermocouple
inputs, it can be mounted on any type of I/O Carrier. The thermistor terminals
A9 and A10 cannot be used as millivolt input terminals.
