Specifications

Thermocouple Input - Thermocouple blocks are available in linearized and non-linearized versions. Linearization provides increased ease-of-use, while the non-linearized versions are a lower-cost alternative to interfacing with thermocouples.

The PCI-5B47 Series linearized blocks interface to eight industry-standard thermocouple types: B, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T.

The non-linearized PCI-5B37 Series blocks interface to nine industry-standard thermocouple types: B, C, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T. Linearization for the PCI-5B37 Series can be achieved in software.

Each block is cold-junction compensated to correct for the parasitic thermocouples formed by the thermocouple wire and the screw terminals on the termination panel. Upscale open thermocouple detection is provided by an internal pull-up resistor. Downscale indication can be implemented by installing an external resistor.
