What is the GE HE693THM884M Thermocouple Input Module?

The HE693THM884 allows thermocouple temperature sensors to be connected to the PLC directly without the use of external signal processing such as transducers, transmitters, etc. All analog and digital processing of the thermocouple signal is performed on the module. This high-resolution module (0.1°C), can report values to the PLC I/O table in 0.5°C, 0.5°F, 0.1°C, or 0.1°F increments. The module has eight thermocouple channels assigned to 8 %AI input registers. There are 16 %I Alarm Bits, one open circuit alarm and one setpoint alarm for each channel. Alarm setpoints are set for each channel through 8 %AQ registers. Open circuit alarm bits for each channel correspond to the first eight successive%I bits, and the alarm setpoints for each channel correspond to the second eight successive %I bits.
