About the TSC12 Multichannel Temperature Scanner

The TSC12 temperature scanners are capable of measuring 12 thermocouple voltage signals simultaneously, featuring high accuracy and a minimal offset drift. Each device can be individually customized according to customer specifications.

All common thermocouple socket types (K, T, J, B, E, N, R, S, V*, W*) are supported. Depending on the socket type, measurable temperatures stretch from -210°C to 1798°C.

The data is transmitted as ASCII text in the unit degrees Celsius [°C]. The transmission rate can be set in the range between 1 and 100Hz. 

Power for TSC devices equipped with USB or CAN interface is supplied via USB-, respectively CAN-port itself. For the LAN interface version, an external power supply (8-24V, 0.5A) has to be connected to the device.

Both standard and -CAN TSC devices provide an USB interface for comfortable configuration. When connected via USB the temperature scanner identifies itself to the host PC as virtual COM port. Thus, any software supporting serial protocols can be used for communication. The LAN-version uses TCP-IP protocol for data transmission and configuration. A direct connection can be set up via Telnet (Port 10001).

A recording software and an example program in LabVIEW (source code) are shipped with the device. For devices with CAN bus interface a DBC-file is included in the shipment.

On request there are different customization options:

• Selection of different thermocouple types in one device
• Combination of several data communication interfaces in one device
• Trigger- or alert function for specific configurable temperatures page
