DSCA37
Non-Linearized Thermocouple Input Signal Conditioners
Description
Each DSCA37 non-linearized thermocouple input module provides a single
channel of thermocouple input which is filtered, isolated, amplified, and
converted to a high-level voltage output. Signal filtering is accomplished with a
five-pole filter which provides 85dB of normal-mode rejection at 60Hz and 80dB
at 50Hz. An anti-aliasing pole is located on the field side of the isolation barrier,
and the other four poles are on the system side. After the initial field-side filtering,
the input signal is chopped by a proprietary chopper circuit. Isolation is provided
by transformer coupling, again using a proprietary technique to suppress
transmission of common mode spikes or surges.
The DSCA37 can interface to eight industry standard thermocouple types: J, K, T,
E, R, S, B and N. Each module has cold junction compensation to correct for
parasitic thermocouples formed by the thermocouple wire and input screw
terminals on the module. Upscale open thermocouple detection is provided
by internal circuitry. Downscale indication can be implemented by installing a
47MΩ, ±20% resistor between screw terminals 6 and 8 on the input terminal block.
Module output is either voltage or current. For current output models a dedicated
loop supply is provided at terminal 3 (+OUT) with loop return located at terminal
4 (-OUT). The system-side load may be either floating or grounded.
Special input circuits provide protection against accidental connection of
power-line voltages up to 240VAC and against transient events as defined by
ANSI/IEEE C37.90.1. Protection circuits are also present on the signal output
and power input terminals to guard against transient events and power reversal.
Power lines are secured to the module using screw terminals which are in
pluggable terminal blocks for ease of system assembly and reconfiguration.
The modules have excellent stability over time and do not require recalibration,
however, zero and span settings are adjustable up to ±5% to accommodate
situations where fine-tuning is desired. The adjustments are made using potentiom-
eters located under the front panel label and are non-interactive for ease of use.
