Product Description

The ECPT81-0 is a part of the ECP Series from B&R Automation and is a high-performance module for temperature measurement with a special focus on PT100 sensors. This module is designed to accommodate eight channels of analog inputs which conform to the DIN 43760 standard for sensors.

It has a programmable temperature range of -25 to +75 degrees C or -25 to +475 degrees C which is ideal for use in various industrial settings. The ECPT81-0 has a 10-bit resolution to provide precise temperature readings, and the conversion time for each channel is about 3 milliseconds, allowing fast data processing in real-time applications. One important feature of this module is its hardware automatic linearization, which can improve measurement accuracy by eliminating linear errors in sensor signals. Through the three-wire connection, there is the prevention of interferences on the signal that enhances the quality of the temperature data transmitted. The performance of the module at 20 degrees C is quite accurate with a basic accuracy of ~0. 3 % plus 0. 011 % per ohm of resistance. The module demonstrates minimal sensitivity to environmental changes, with an offset drift of ~0.039 % per degrees C plus 0.00008% per ohm per degrees C, and a gain drift of ~0.017 % per degrees C, ensuring stable performance across varying temperatures.

Another important factor is the power consumption of the module, which depends on the supplied voltage degrees CE" 1. 4W at 8V, 0. 9 W at 15V, and 1. 5 W at -30V. This flexibility in power consumption makes it suitable for various configurations in industrial settings, emphasizing the unit's design to effectively control energy consumption while providing accurate temperature control. This module demonstrates that B&R Automation is committed to delivering reliable and precise solutions for industrial applications, especially for temperature-controlled processes. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
