Thermocouple-to-DC Current/Voltage

Converter with Relay Output

Description

Each DSCP62 Thermocouple Converter provides a single channel of thermocouple

input which is ampliﬁed, linearized and converted to a high-level current or voltage

output. Thermocouple type, measurement range, ﬁlter, output type and range,

and fault indication may be conﬁgured by dip-switch. An auxiliary relay output

is provided to generate an alarm or act as a thermostat. Power can be applied

directly to the converter’s terminals or through a DIN rail mounted bus connector

accessory, eliminating the need to wire power to each individual converter.

Speciﬁcations Typical at TA=+25°C and +24VDC power

Installation rules

This module is designed for assembly on a DIN 46277 rail. Assembly in a

vertical position is recommended to increase the module’s ventilation. Be

sure that no raceways or other objects that compromise aeration are posi-

tioned in the vicinity, and do not position the module above equipment that

generates heat. We recommend positioning the module in the lower part of

the control panel or container compartment. We also recommend rail-type

assembly using the Power Bus connector, which eliminates the need to con-

nect the power supply to each module.

Auxiliary Output

The auxiliary output is designed to drive an indicator, a relay of greater

power, or the input of a supervisory control system. Through this output the

DSCP62 module can generate an alarm or be utilized like a thermostat. The

normal state of the output depends on the conﬁguration for the fault of the

primary output.

Setting the threshold

The regulation of the threshold is performed through a button located under

the front cover of the module and accessible through the hole using a small

screwdriver.

• Press and release the button. The primary output will start to represent

the value of threshold and the red LED will ﬂash slowly.

• If the button is not pressed again within 5 seconds, the system will

return to standard functioning.

• Each time the button is pressed there is an increase or decrease of the

primary output of approximately 0.2%; the direction of the variation

depends on the conﬁguration of the output.

• If the button is not released but continues to be pressed, a continuous

3% increase starts after 2 seconds.

• When the maximum/minimum value of the chosen scale is reached, the

cycle starts again.

• During regulation of the threshold, the auxiliary output follows standard

functioning, opening and closing as previously set.

• After 5 seconds of no button pressing, the set value is memorized and

the module continues with standard functioning.

ON Refrigerator * Downscale Open (LED OFF) Increase

* In case of choice of direct output: 0(4) to 20mA, 0(1) to 5(10)V

Dip-switch SW2.7 details

Inserting module in DIN rail Extracting module from DIN rail

1. Attach module in upper part of rail.

2. Press module downward.

1. Apply leverage using a screwdriver

(as shown in ﬁgure).

2. Rotate module upward.

NOTE:

The Power-Bus must be inserted with protruding terminals on the left (as

shown in ﬁgure above); otherwise the modules are turned upside down.

Using the Power-Bus connector

Each expandable Power-Bus connector allows insertion of two modules.

Insert Power-Bus connectors into the DIN rail by attaching to upper side of

rail and rotating downward.

Factory dip-switch settings

The module leaves the factory with all dip-switches in the OFF position.

The default conﬁguration is as follows:

Never connect power supply directly to the bus connector on

the DIN rail. Never tap power from the bus connector either

directly or by using module terminals.

Electrical connections

The module is designed for spring cage clamp

electrical connections.

1. Strip cables by 0.8mm.

2. Insert screwdriver in the square hole and press

until the cable lock spring opens.

3. Insert cable in the round hole.

4. Remove screwdriver and ensure cable is tightly

fastened in the terminal.

Power supply

There are three ways to power the DSCP6x series of signal converters.

1. Connect the 24VDC power supply directly to terminals 7 (+) and 8 (-)

of each module.

2. Connect power to one signal converter and use the expandable Power-

Bus connector to distribute power to a maximum of 16 adjacent modules.

The bus can be supplied from any of the modules, but the total current

consumption of the bus must be less than 400mA. Higher consumption

values can damage the module. An appropriately sized fuse must be

connected in series with the power supply.

3. Use the DSCP70 Power Supply Connection Module and the expandable

Power-Bus connector to distribute power to a maximum of 75 modules.

The DSCP70 is designed to protect the modules connected via bus against

overvoltage loads. The bus connector can be provided with power using the

DSCP70 module if the total consumption of the bus is less than 1.5A. Higher

consumption values can damage both the module and the bus. An appropri-

ately sized fuse must be connected in series with the power supply.
