Functional Description
IS230TBTCH1B is a thermocouple input terminal board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VIe control system. The Thermocouple Input terminal board accepts thermocouple inputs of 24-type E, J, K, S, or T. It only accepts additional B, N, and R thermocouple inputs when used with the PTCCH2 in the Mark VIe control system. These inputs are connected to two barrier-type terminal blocks. Through DC-type connectors, TBTC communicates with the I/O processor.
Thermocouple Input
- Accepts 24-type E, J, K, S, or T thermocouples, ensuring that it caters to a wide spectrum of temperature sensing needs. However, it's important to note that for thermocouples of the B, N, and R types, compatibility is unlocked when the TBTCH1B is coupled with the PTCCH2 within the Mark VIe control system.
- This integration expands the horizon of possibilities for temperature measurement.
Terminal Block Design
- Boasts a well-thought-out design, with thermocouple inputs being connected to two sturdy barrier-type terminal blocks. These terminal blocks not only provide a secure connection but also facilitate easy maintenance when needed.
- The terminal blocks are skillfully designed to accept wires up to #12 AWG, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of wire sizes. On the left side of each terminal block, a dedicated shield terminal strip is connected to chassis ground, enhancing signal integrity and reducing interference.
Seamless Communication
- Effective communication is key in any control system, and the TBTCH1B excels in this regard.
- It establishes communication with the I/O processor via DC-type connectors, ensuring that temperature data is seamlessly transmitted and processed within the Mark VIe control system.
Compatibility and Configurability
- Designed to seamlessly integrate with the PTCC I/O pack in the Mark VIe system, offering flexibility for various application scenarios. It readily supports simplex, dual, and TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) configurations, catering to diverse industrial setups.
- In simplex systems, two PTCC packs can be conveniently plugged, providing a total of 24 inputs. Moreover, the TBTCH1B's flexibility shines through in its ability to accommodate one, two, or three PTCC packs, enabling system engineers to tailor configurations to meet specific project requirements.
Installation Simplicity
- Installing the module is a straightforward process. Thermocouple wires can be directly connected to the two I/O terminal blocks, which are held securely in place with two screws each.
- Each of these blocks features 24 terminals, capable of accommodating wires up to 12 AWG. Furthermore, the presence of the shield terminal strip on the left side of each terminal block ensures proper grounding for enhanced system performance.
Product Attributes
- Number of Channels: Impressively supports 24 channels per terminal board, offering comprehensive data acquisition capabilities.
- Cold Junction Temperature Accuracy: With an exceptional cold junction temperature accuracy of 1.1 degrees Celsius, the module ensures that temperature measurements are precise and reliable.
- Span: It offers a wide span, with ranges of -8 mV to +45 mV when connected to PTCCH1/VTCCH1, and -20 mV to +95 mV when connected to PTCCH2/VTCCH2, providing flexibility in temperature measurement and control.
Thermocouple Limits
