Introduction
The measuring unit Thermocouple1 MU-CAN (short: MU-TC1 CAN)
provides terminals for 8 thermocouples for various temperature
ranges. The readings are preprocessed by a microcontroller and
then transmitted via CAN bus. The corresponding configuring is
done with a Windows program on a computer that is connected to
the same CAN bus.

Properties at a Glance
8 sockets for thermocouple types J, K, and T (depending on
assembly at delivery)
4 galvanically isolated measuring modules, each with 2
thermocouple sockets of the same type

Preprocessing of readings possible with integrated
microcontroller, e.g. with hysteresis curve, characteristic curve,
or mathematical functions (software available on application)
High-speed CAN connection (ISO 11898-2) for data transfer and
configuring
Metal casing with attachment grooves and connectors on the
front panel
