MU-Thermocouple1 CAN FD
Eight isolated thermocouple channels, reported over CAN FD or classic CAN
The MU-Thermocouple1 CAN FD reads up to eight thermocouples, scales the readings and puts them on the bus as CAN FD or classic CAN messages. The channels sit on four galvanically isolated measuring modules with two sockets each, and every unit is built for one thermocouple type: J, K or T.
You choose Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin, set a scale and offset per channel, define the messages and the LED behaviour in the free Thermocouple FD Configuration software, and send the setup over CAN. From then on the unit works on its own as a CAN node, and several units can share one bus with their own settings.
Highlights
- 8 mini thermocouple sockets, type J, K or T depending on the version
- 4 isolated measuring modules, 2 sockets each
- Readings in C, F or K with per-channel scale and offset
- CAN FD data phase up to 10 Mbit/s, classic CAN up to 1 Mbit/s
- Galvanic isolation up to 500 V
- Aluminium casing with flange, -40 to 85 C
Versions
- IPEH-004005-J: measuring range J, -210 to +1121 C
- IPEH-004005-K: measuring range K, -200 to +1370 C

In the Box
- MU-Thermocouple1 CAN FD in aluminium casing (J, K or T version as ordered)
- Mating connector for the supply (Phoenix Contact MC1,5/2-STF-3,81, 1827703)
- Thermocouple FD Configuration software for Windows

Thermocouple probes are not part of the delivery. Setting up the module over CAN needs a PEAK CAN interface such as the PCAN-USB FD or the PCAN-USB.
The earlier classic CAN model is the MU-Thermocouple1 CAN.
