Typical Application
This module is a classic temperature transmitter:
Input: A K-type thermocouple is connected to the input terminals, measuring temperature in a furnace, reactor, or pipe.
Processing: The conditioner isolates the millivolt signal, performs Cold Junction Compensation, and linearizes it.
Output: A proportional 4-20 mA signal is generated. For example, 4 mA might represent 0°C and 20 mA represents 1300°C.
Destination: This 4-20 mA signal is sent to a PLC or control system for monitoring, recording, or control.
