The DSAI155A-3BSE014162R1 is a 14-channel thermocouple module manufactured by ABB for industrial automation and control systems. It plays a vital role in temperature measurement applications. Here's a breakdown of its features and key points:
Features:
The DSAI155A-3BSE014162R1 is designed to measure temperature using thermocouples. A thermocouple is a sensor that produces a small voltage proportional to the temperature difference between the measuring point (hot end) and the reference point (cold end).
The module acquires a weak voltage signal from the thermocouple and amplifies it for accurate measurement by the control system.
It can handle up to 14 individual thermocouple connections, allowing you to monitor the temperature at multiple points within the system.
Main features:
14 thermocouple inputs: Provides 14 channels for connecting various thermocouple types (K, J, T, etc.)
Cold end compensation: Automatically compensates for temperature changes at the reference point (cold end) to ensure accurate temperature readings.
Signal amplification: amplifies the weak voltage signal from the thermocouple for reliable transmission and processing by the control system.
Configuration options: Configuration options are available for specific thermocouple types and temperature ranges.
DIN rail mounting: DIN rails may be designed to be mounted in industrial control cabinets for easy installation.
Applications:
The DSAI155A-3BSE014162R1 is used in various industrial applications requiring temperature monitoring and control, such as:
Industrial processes: Monitoring the temperature of furnaces, ovens, kilns and other process equipment for precise control and product quality.
Power generation: Measuring the temperature of transformers, generators and other critical components in a power plant.
Building automation: Monitoring and controlling temperature in HVAC systems to improve building comfort and energy efficiency.
Manufacturing processes: Maintain precise temperature control in applications such as welding, injection molding and other temperature sensitive processes.
