2. 8 channels high resolution A/D converter with on board noise filters
3. Supports themocouple types J,K,E,R,S,T or ±500 millivolts at 1 microvolt resolution
4. On board cold junction compensation
5. On board temperature conversion functions enable stand-alone operation
6. USB interface as standard or USB + RS-232 /RS-485 (option) for communication with PLCs
7. Multiple boards may be connected via USB or RS485
8. 8 opto-isolated outputs configurable as setpoints, latching alarms or user outputs
9. Comes with very useful software package and data logger
10. Option to get the TCIC as a bare board or in ABS box.

Main Specifications

Thermocouple & Millivolt Inputs

Each of the 8 input channels can be configured to measure either ±500 millivolts or one of the following themocouple types, in any combination:

Interface Options

1. USB as standard (USB powered)
2. RS232 / RS485 option

Typical Applications

1. Fast data logging
2. Stand-alone temperature monitoring for industrial applications

Attached Software

1. TCIC-Monitor software operates as a sophisticated data logger allowing data from all 8 channels to be logged to file. The Monitor software is able to control all parameters of the TCIC, which are stored in non-volatile on-board memory
2. A LabView^tm vi demonstration is also included.
3. Full examples for the programmer in .NET on how to communicate with the TCIC and easily make his own application.
