Specifications
16 differential thermocouple inputs, 1 CJC input
2.5 V to +10 V, 20 mV to +80 mv, 15 mV to +60 mV, 6.25 mV to 25 mV
Continuous conversions. Software-programmable for 50 Hz, 60 Hz, or 400 Hz
Single I/O register transfer through dual port RAM
Conversion rates (integrating
time)
50 Hz, 60 Hz, 400 Hz
Software programmable
*Conversion rates
(per channel)
25.0 msec @ 50 Hz typical, 25.5 msec maximum
21.6 msec @ 60 Hz typical, 22.1 msec maximum
7.4 msec @ 400 Hz typical,7.9 msec maximum
*This is the total time to convert the channel, process the data, and provide a
delay to switch the gain and channel.
Linearity error (A/D specs)
Power supply rejection ratio
Absolute maximum input
voltage
500 V min through DC/DC converter and opto-isolators
Accuracy (Worst Case)
Resolution
±0.01% of reading ±2.5 mV
±0.02% of reading ±6.25 µV
Typical for 25 °C unless otherwise specified.

Specifications CIO-DAS-TC
Accuracy (Worst Case)
Resolution
Moving average, 1 to 16 samples, software-selectable
Calibration is performed with each channel scan to remove offset and gain error.
CJC channel is also measured with each calibration.
On power-up, watchdog timeout, or software command. Processor boots within one
second of reset. Active low.
1.6 seconds nominal. Processor generates watchdog disable signal after boot-up.
Programmable for conversion to C or F
Dual port RAM when the processor mailbox has data.
CJC centered in an isothermal block on which the screw terminals have been
mounted.
0.3 °C typical, 0.5 °C maximum
0.5 °C typical, 1.0 °C maximum
