Technical data C12
The imc CANSAS C12 module has 12 input channels. Signals for voltage, current, any DINconforming
thermocouples or PT 100 units can be connected. Different screw-terminal plugs are provided for the
respective types of measurements; use the appropriate terminal and select it on the input channel's
'Input' dialog under the heading 'Connector type'. It is crucial that the terminal type actually connected
matches the entry in the 'Connector type' box.
Make sure the screw terminal
connected matches this
setting
The appropriate screw
terminal type is indicated in the
list box.
In this module the input channels are organized in two groups of 6 channels. All channels within a group
must have the same setting under 'Instrument'. Group 1 comprises Channels 1 through 6, Group 2
Channels 7 through 12.
Voltage and current measurements' signals conform to linear characteristics. Temperature
measurements, by contrast, need to be prepared by specifying the thermocouple used in the combo-box
'Characteristic curve'. The module can work with no more than one temperature characteristic curve; it's
not possible to measure with a thermocouple of type R in Socket 1 and with a thermocouple of type E in
Socket 2. The same constraint applies to Pt100's.
