DESCRIPTION
SCM7B47 modules accept a single channel of input from Type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, or
N thermocouples. The signal is filtered, isolated, amplified, linearized, and converted
to a high level analog voltage for output to the process control system (Figure 1).
Linearization is achieved by creating a non-linear transfer function through
the module itself; refer to AN505. This non-linear transfer function is
configured at the factory and is designed to be equal and opposite to the
thermocouple non-linearity.
Cold junction compensation (CJC) is performed using an NTC thermistor
(see “Additional SCM7B Part Numbers” section for P/N and AN701 for
further information) externally mounted under the field-side terminal block
on the backpanel (Figure 1). Open thermocouple detection is upscale using
a 30nA current source in the input circuitry.
These modules incorporate a five-pole filtering approach to maximize both
time and frequency response by taking advantage of both Thomson (Bessel)
and Butterworth characteristics. One pole of the filter is on the field side of the
isolation barrier; four are on the process control system side.
After the initial field-side filtering, the input signal is chopped by a proprietary
chopper circuit and transferred across the transformer isolation barrier,
suppressing transmission of common mode spikes and surges. The signal
is then reconstructed and filtered for process control system output.
Modules accept a wide 14 - 35VDC power supply range (+24VDC nominal).
Their compact packages (2.13"x1.705"x0.605" max) save space and are ideal for
high channel density applications. They are designed for easy DIN rail mounting
using any of the “-DIN” backpanels.

NOTES
1 Thermocouple characteristics per NIST monograph 175, ITS-90.
2 Output Range and Supply Current specifications are based on minimum output load
resistance. Minimum output load resistance is calculated by VOUT2/PE, where PE is the output
Effective Available Power that guarantees output range, accuracy, and linearity specifications.
3 Accuracy includes the effects of repeatability, hysteresis, and conformity.
4 VZ is the nominal input voltage that results in a 0V output.
5The CJC sensor accuracy should be added to the module accuracy and thermocouple
accuracy to compute overall measurement accuracy.
