Compatible with various types of thermocouple inputs. Cold junction compensation function within
The CPI-SSI-4C is an expansion card that adds a thermocouple interface to the Raspberry Pi. Four channels of differential inputs are provided for one card. Linux device driver is supported with this product.
Thermocouple Input Raspberry Pi Expansion Card 4ch
Model:
CPI-SSI-4C
Maker:
CONTEC Co., Ltd.
Features
- Compatible with various types of thermocouple inputs
This product is compatible with a wide range of thermocouple input types such as J(IEC60584-1), K(IEC60584-1), E(IEC60584-1), N(IEC60584-1), R(IEC60584-1), S(IEC60584-1), and T(IEC60584-1). - Cold junction compensation function within
As cold junction compensation is integrated in the product, there is no need to install a temperature sensor for cold junction compensation externally, and temperature can be measured simply by connecting a thermocouple. - Connectivity for up to 8 cards
Connect up to 8 expansion cards of the same series. Use the Board ID setting switch on the main body to identify connected expansion cards.
* The Board ID setting switch cannot be set to 4 when using the CPI-RAS, CPI-PS10CM4, or CPI-MS10CM4. - Adaptable to a wide range of temperature between -20 and +60°C
The product is capable of operating in the temperature between -20 and + 60°C. It can be installed in the various environments. - No electrolytic capacitor
Without an electrolytic capacitor, which has a limited life, we are creating the product with a longer life. - Linux compatible driver software
Using the sensor input API-SSI(LNX) makes it possible to create applications of Linux.
