AS-B883-200

The AS-B883-200 from Schneider Electric is classified as a thermocouple input module within the 800 Series range. It is engineered to support various thermocouple types, including B, E, J, K, R, S, T, N, and linear millivolts. The module comprises 10 input channels to accommodate various sensor connections effectively. This design allows it to handle peak common mode voltages of 200 Vdc/Vac. The resolution settings for the module provide versatility, allowing for choices of 1°C, 1°F, or 10 mV; as well as 0.1°C, 0.1°F, or 1 mV for more precise measurements.

For timely data acquisition, the AS-B883-200 features an update time of 100 ms per selected channel with a maximum cumulative update time of 1 second across all channels. It powers up within 13 seconds at maximum and requires a warm-up time that can take up to 2 minutes to stabilize fully. This module demands 5 V at 400 mA under normal operation, with additional voltage requirements of 4.3 V at 5 mA and -5 V at 0 mA.

Interacting with a PC is achieved via 3 output registers (4xxxx) and 3 input registers (3xxxx), ensuring a seamless integration into existing systems. Active communication status is reflected through visual indicators that light up when the connection to the PC is stable. Moreover, the module offers support for cold junction compensation (CJC) and maps its reference types as a 48-bit input or 3-register input. Output types are delivered in BIN/BCD format, facilitating straightforward reading and interpretation of data for industrial applications.
