Purchase now the 2080-TC2, a high-precision plug-in module designed to enhance the temperature sensing capabilities of your Micro800 controllers.
What Is the 2080-TC2?
The 2080-TC2 is a non-isolated 2-channel thermocouple input plug-in module specifically engineered for the Allen-Bradley Micro810, Micro820, Micro830, and Micro850 programmable logic controllers (PLCs). This compact module allows engineers to integrate temperature monitoring directly into the controller chassis without increasing its footprint, supporting Type J and K thermocouples with exceptional cold-junction compensation.
Key Technical Specifications
- Input Type: Thermocouple (Type J and K)
- Resolution: 14-bit
- Input Channels: 2 non-isolated
- Operating Temperature: -20°C to 65°C
- Cold Junction Compensation: Integrated high-accuracy sensor
- Accuracy: ±1.0°C for Type J/K at 25°C
Industrial Compatibility and Architecture
This module utilizes the Plug-in bus of the Micro800 series, allowing for seamless integration. It is ideal for space-constrained applications where dedicated temperature PID loops are required. The 2080-TC2 is hot-swappable in certain configurations and is configured using the Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software, providing a unified programming environment for automation technicians.
Expert Tips
To minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure signal integrity, always use shielded thermocouple extension wires. Ensure that the shield is grounded only at the controller side to prevent ground loops, which can introduce significant temperature offsets in high-gain 14-bit modules like the 2080-TC2.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use different thermocouple types simultaneously on the 2080-TC2?
A: Yes, both channels are independently configurable via CCW software, allowing you to mix Type J and Type K probes on the same module.
Q: Does this module require external power?
A: No, the 2080-TC2 draws its operational power directly from the Micro800 backplane via the plug-in slot.
