Single-ended analog input open thermocouple detection
—Use position A for one
channel and C for the next channel when you connect a high-value resistor between the
positive input and +5 V. Leave the 0
Ω
resistors at positions F and G in place for each
channel used. Refer to Table 2-1 for component positions for all analog input channels.
Figure 2-13.
Single-Ended Analog Input Open Thermocouple Detection on AI <i>
If the thermocouple opens, the voltage measured across the input terminals rises to +5 V, a value
much larger than any legitimate thermocouple voltage. You can create a bias current return path
by using a 100 k
Ω
resistor between the negative input and AI GND.
Thermocouple Input Filtering
To reduce noise, you can connect a simple one-pole RC lowpass filter to the analog inputs of the
SCB-68A. Refer to the
section for more information.
