GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model CSTC8ISO is a 16-bit thermocouple input module designed for
use with the Modular Controller Series. The module provides a means of high-
density temperature measurement for data-acquisition applications. The
CSTC8ISO module accepts a wide range of thermocouple types, and offers a
fully isolated design with 1 kV isolation between each input as well as power.
The modules connect and communicate via a backplane connection to the
CSMSTR Modular Controller Series Master. The CSMSTR, equipped with serial
ports as well as an Ethernet port, allows the system to share data with PCs, PLCs,
and SCADA systems. The Master supports any combination of up to 16 CS series
modules, allowing a total of 128 signals to be monitored via a single Master.
Internal power management circuits allow the modules to be replaced while
power is applied, which reduces downtime. All configuration information is
stored locally within the module, as well as in the Master, so replacement
modules do not need to be configured.
The Modular Controller Series’ high density packaging and DIN rail
mounting saves time and panel space. The backplane connection provides power
and communication to the module and snaps easily onto standard top hat (T)
profile DIN rail.
CONFIGURATION
The Modular Controller Series is configured with Windows
®
compatible
Crimson
®
software. The software is an easy to use, graphical interface which
provides a means of configuration and commissioning of new systems, as well
as routine module re-calibration.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
manual or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use the module to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the module. An independent and redundant
temperature limit indicator with alarm outputs is strongly recommended.
