Temperature Sensor Input: Power Supply 24V DC ±10%

Component Specifications

Definition

A specialized electronic component that receives analog or digital signals from temperature sensors (thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors) and converts them into a standardized format for processing by a digital temperature controller. It provides signal conditioning, isolation, and noise filtering to ensure accurate temperature measurement in industrial environments.

Working Principle

The module operates by receiving low-level electrical signals from temperature sensors. For analog sensors, it amplifies and linearizes the signal, then converts it to digital format using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). For digital sensors, it decodes the communication protocol. The processed data is then transmitted to the controller's CPU for comparison with setpoints and generation of control outputs.
