ICP DAS USA Introduces M-7018Z: 10 Channel Thermocouple Input Module Communicable via ModBus Protocol with High Over Voltage Protection
Features:
One day tiny machines will be capable of immediately sensing the temperature and converting that value into a flashing signal! Okay, okay... that day was a while ago. Nowadays you can't throw a heat wave through a high-tech facility without a fleet of thermocouples responding. Problem is: how you get all these devices to talk with your larger electronics network including computers and peripheries? That's where the M-7018Z comes in. It has all the features to link your thermocouples with your electronics configurations. Details you ask? It supports Modbus RTU, can be remotely controlled with DCON protocol and weathers a surge with 240 Vrms of voltage protection. It gets along well with 8 differential analog input channels and support for mV, V and mA. The actual types of thermocouples it's compatible with are: J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N and C. Rounding out the M-7018Z's credentials are its din rail mount-ability and a sample rate of 10 per second.
Benefits:
The increasingly important solar power component for many applications is temperature-critical to say the least. Fortunately, the M-7018Z has a slim power consumption of 1.0 W so it easily integrates into these and many other projects. Though energy efficient, the unit doesn't compromise on hardiness or compatibility operating smoothly in temperature ranges of -25°C to 75°C. M-7018Z communicates easily with most SCADA and PLCs. The DCON Utility software's GUI allows quick and easy configuration so baudrate, checksum, address and channel specifications can all be set up in a few mouse clicks. Because 10 different channels can simultaneously have different configurations, the M-7018z can multi-task a diverse set of applications.
