The National Instruments cFP-TC-120 Thermocouple Module is a versatile temperature input module for Compact FieldPoint used to measure thermo couples, millivolt-level voltages, and thermistors. They are used in applications such as temperature chamber control, device testing, and process control. Thermocouples are low-cost, flexible temperature devices. This I/O module includes overranging and onboard diagnostics to ensure troublefree installation and maintenance. The modules measure and linearize signals on board to return scaled values to your control or monitoring software.

The cFP-TC-120 includes eight differential inputs for thermocouples. It also provides cold-junction compensation using a thermistor embedded in the connector block. An onboard microcontroller compensates and linearizes the thermocouple reading to the NIST ITS-90 standard, using an advanced linearization routine for maximum accuracy.
