It provides direct interfacing between thermocouple sensors and the PLC backplane without external signal converters, enabling precise multi-point temperature acquisition for industrial process monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSignal Processing and Thermocouple Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module features 16 isolated thermocouple input channels supporting sensor types J, K, N, T, E, R, S, B, C, and X. Utilizing an integrating A\/D conversion method with a rate of 40 channels per second, the module delivers a temperature resolution of 0.5 deg C (or 0.5 deg F) and a typical accuracy of ±0.5 deg C for standard J, K, N, and T types. Integrated open-circuit detection automatically identifies broken field sensor wires and reports fault alarms to the system controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSystem Integration and PLC Memory Mapping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for Series 90-30 I\/O rack mounting, the module maps field data into the PLC using 16 analog input words (%AI) and 16 discrete input bits (%I). Field wiring connects via a 32-position removable terminal block using recommended 24 AWG wire. Power is drawn directly from the backplane, consuming 100 mA at 5 VDC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHE693THM166\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGE Fanuc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries 90-30\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Density Thermocouple Input Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported Thermocouple Types\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJ, K, N, T, E, R, S, B, C, X\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperature Resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 deg C (0.5 deg F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTypical Accuracy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±0.5 deg C (for J, K, N, T types)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 Mohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Safe Overload\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±35 V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon-Mode Voltage Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±12 V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon-Mode Rejection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt; 100 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConversion Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 channels \/ second\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBackplane Power Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 mA at 5 VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eField Wiring Connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32-position removable terminal block\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.70 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 deg C to +60 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What PLC platform is compatible with the HE693THM166 module?
