Digital I O module ANTARES 8TC

8-I/Oremotevoltage

The ANTARES 8TC Remote I/O Module (8 thermocouples) is suitable for the intrinsically safe connection of a variety of thermocouple types. All of the I/O module’s transmission channels are conductively connected to each other. The ANTARES 8TC Remote I/O Module is operated by and supplied with power by the ANTARES Rail Control Unit (RCU). A bus rail is not necessary. Hot-swap capability allows the electronic unit to be replaced without disconnecting from voltage even in a potentially explosive atmosphere. Parameters can be set for every channel. Open circuit/short circuit monitoring can be programmed for each channel. See the system description for installation instructions.
