EQXTC06 – 6-Channel Thermocouple Expansion Module for EQSP32

Description

The EQXTC06 is a 6-channel thermocouple expansion module designed to deliver precise and reliable temperature measurements for industrial applications. Supporting K-type thermocouples on all six channels sequentially, the EQXTC seamlessly integrates with the EQSP32 Industrial IoT controller, providing real-time temperature data for your automation systems.

The module incorporates ESD protection, integrated cold-junction compensation, and a high-resolution 14-bit signed temperature conversion, delivering a nominal temperature resolution of 0.25°C. Additionally, the EQXTC can detect shorts to GND or VCC and identify open thermocouple connections, enabling quick detection and resolution of wiring issues.

Designed with a compact, DIN-rail mountable enclosure, the EQXTC offers easy integration into control cabinets with screw terminal connections for secure and reliable wiring. Powered directly from the EQSP32 main unit, the module eliminates the need for external power supplies while ensuring seamless plug-and-play functionality with automatic detection upon power-up.

The EQXTC features visual indicators for power and status, keeping users informed of its operating state. Firmware updates are easily applied through the front-facing USB-C port, providing access to the latest features and improvements without removing the module from the setup. Supported by the EQ-AI generative AI model, the module is integrated effortlessly to existing or new EQSP32 solutions by simply describing the system setup and desired functionality.

With its robust design and advanced features, the EQXTC is ideal for precise temperature measurement across a wide range of industrial applications.
