CQM1-TC001

The Omron CQM1-TC001 serves as a specialized temperature control module, equipped to handle a range of thermocouple signal types, including K, J, T, E, R, S, B, N, L, and U. Capable of drawing a maximum current of 250 mA, this module integrates seamlessly into control systems requiring precision temperature monitoring and adjustment. The CQM1-TC001 boasts two analog inputs and two analog outputs, enabling robust data handling while facilitating both voltage (0 to 10 V DC) and current (4 to 20 mA DC) output formats.

This module employs a PID control method complemented by auto-tuning, enabling it to adapt dynamically to changing temperature conditions. The sampling period is set to 250 ms, providing consistent updates, while the resolution of 0.1 °C for input signals ensures fine measurement accuracy. The output resolution is defined as 1/4000 of the full scale, offering detailed output control.

Accuracy is paramount, with thermocouple input performance at ±0.3% of full scale and analog outputs achieving ±0.2% accuracy, ensuring reliability for critical applications. For enhanced protection, the device incorporates photocoupler isolation between its input/output components and the PLC bus, safeguarding the integrity of the control system. The CQM1-TC001 requires a 5 V DC power supply, sourced from the CQM1 backplane, facilitating straightforward integration into existing setups.
