Device Specific Information

Note For general SCC module installation and signal connection information, and

information about the SC-2350 carrier, refer to the SCC Quick Start Guide, available

for download at ni.com/manuals.

Installing the Module

Caution Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference document

before removing equipment covers or connecting/disconnecting any signal wires.

You can plug the SCC-TC0Xinto any analog input socket on the SC-2345.

The socket you select determines which E Series DAQ device channels

receive the SCC-TC0Xsignals.

For single-stage input conditioning, plug the SCC-TC0Xinto any socket

J(X+1), where Xis 0 to 7, and connect the input signals to the module as

described in the Connecting the Input Signals section.

If you use the SCC-TC0Xin a dual-stage configuration, the SCC-TC0X

must be the first-stage module. Plug it into any socket J(X+9) and plug the

second-stage SCC into socket J(X+1), where Xis 0 to 7. Connect the input

signals to SCC-TC0Xas described in the Connecting the Input Signals

section. The SC-2345 connects the output signals of the first-stage SCC to

the inputs of the second-stage SCC. An example of dual-stage conditioning

Connecting the Input Signals

Note The signal names have changed. Refer to ni.com/info and enter rdtntg to

confirm the signal names.

The SCC-TC01 has a two-prong uncompensated thermocouple

miniconnector that accepts any miniature or subminiature two-prong

male thermocouple connector. The SCC-TC02 has a three-position

screw-terminal connector that accepts 28 to 16 AWG thermocouple wires.

The screw-terminal connector provides a ground connection for shielded

thermocouples. Otherwise, the two modules function identically.

To use an SCC-TC01, plug the male thermocouple connector into the

module.

The SCC-TC02 accepts up to three signals: TC+, TC–, and GND. TC+is

the positive thermocouple lead and TC– is the negative thermocouple lead.1

The GND terminal connects to AI GND on the E Series DAQ device.

The SCC-TC0Xhas a 10 MΩbias resistor connected from the negative

thermocouple input to ground. This resistor allows the thermocouple to be

ground-referenced or floating without requiring external bias resistors

connected to ground.

1 For ANSI color-coded J-type thermocouples, the red wire is negative and the white wire is positive. Refer to the thermocouple

data sheet if possible. You can find information about other color-coding schemes in the NI KnowledgeBase at ni.com/

support.

SCC-TC Series Thermocouple Input Modules User Guide 6 ni.com

The amplified thermocouple signal and cold-junction sensor signal

are measured by E Series DAQ device channel Xand channel X+8

respectively, where Xis 0 to 7 depending on where you plug the

SCC-TC0X. Refer to Figure 1 for SCC-TC0Xsignal connections.

Using the TC0X

Scaling Voltage Measurements

Note NI-DAQ includes thermocouple and thermistor conversion utilities that implement

the conversions required in steps 3 and 5 of the following procedure. Refer to your

software documentation for more information on these utilities.

Your software environment may return only voltage measurements from

E Series DAQ devices. If so, you must convert voltage measurements to

temperature measurements. To make this conversion, complete the

following steps:

1. Measure the thermocouple voltage.

a. Read the thermocouple channel on the E Series DAQ device

VESERIES [CH(X)].

b. Calculate the thermocouple voltage by using the following

formula:

where

VTC is thermocouple voltage.

VESERIES is E Series DAQ device voltage.

This step provides proper scaling for the thermocouple amplifier in the

SCC-TC0X.

2. Measure the reference-junction (cold-junction) temperature.

a. Read the thermistor voltage [AI (X+8)].

b. Convert the thermistor voltage to cold-junction temperature using

the formula in the Cold-Junction Sensor section.

3. Calculate the cold-junction compensation voltage by converting the

cold-junction temperature from step 2 to a thermocouple voltage. Use

the polynomial expressions applicable to the type of thermocouple you

are using.

4. Apply the cold-junction compensation to the thermocouple reading

by adding the cold-junction compensation voltage from step 3 to VTC.

5. Calculate the thermocouple temperature by converting the voltage

result from step 4 to a temperature. Use the polynomial expressions

applicable to the type of thermocouple you are using. This calculation

gives you a linearized temperature measurement.

Note Polynomials are from NIST Monograph 175.

Uncompensated Connectors and Accuracy

If you are using an SCC-TC02 with an uncompensated SCC panelette,

temperature gradients between the module and the junctions on the

panelette affect the accuracy of your measurements.

Detecting Open Thermocouples

The SCC-TC0Xcontains a 10 MΩpull-up resistor that connects to

+5 V to detect open thermocouples. To determine if you have an open

thermocouple, check whether the corresponding E Series DAQ device

channel is saturated. The pull-up and bias resistors saturate the channel by

applying +2.5 V at the input of an open channel. This results in saturation

to either the positive or negative rails of the E Series DAQ device (±10 V).

Errors Due to Open-Thermocouple Detection Circuitry

The open-thermocouple detection circuitry can cause measurement errors.

These errors are the results of common-mode voltage at the input of the

SCC and current leakage into the signal leads. The 10 MΩbias resistor in

the SCC-TC0Xcauses this error to be negligible. With the 10 MΩbias

resistor connected to ground and the 10 MΩpull-up resistor connected to

+5 VDC, a current leakage of approximately 0.25 µA (5 V/20 MΩ) flows

into the unbroken floating thermocouple. Long thermocouple leads result

in larger voltage drops due to lead resistance.

For example, if you have a 24 AWG J-type thermocouple that is 20 ft long,

a voltage drop of approximately

4 µV = (0.145 Ω/ft +0.658 Ω/ft) ×20 ft ×0.25 µA

can develop in the thermocouple, which corresponds to an error of 0.09 °C.

With 10 MΩpull-up and bias resistors, a common-mode voltage of

+2.5 VDC develops if the thermocouple is floating. The common-mode

rejection of the SCC-TC0Xis sufficiently high, which results in the offset

voltage being negligible in most applications.

If your application demands extremely high accuracy, you can eliminate

these errors by calibrating the system. Refer to the Calibrating System

Offsets section for more information.

Cold-Junction Sensor

The cold-junction sensor voltage output varies from 1.91 to 0.58 V over a

0 to 55 °C temperature range.

Note NI-DAQ includes thermistor conversion utilities that implement the equations listed

below. Refer to your software documentation for more information on these utilities.

You can use the following formulas to convert the cold-junction sensor

voltage to cold-junction temperature:

where TKis the temperature in kelvin.

where

a= 1.295361 ×10–3

b= 2.343159 ×10–4

c= 1.018703 ×10–7

RTis the resistance of the thermistor in ohms.

where VTEMPOUT is the output voltage of the cold-junction sensor.

where T(°F) and T(°C) are the temperature readings in degrees Fahrenheit

and Celsius, respectively.

Note VTEMPOUT varies from 1.91 V (at 0 °C) to 0.58 V (at 55 °C). For best resolution, use

the maximum gain for this range on the analog input channel.

For the cold-junction sensor measurement accuracy, refer to the

Specifications section.

Calibrating System Offsets

To calibrate the offset voltage of the SCC-TC0Xin the system using the

E Series DAQ device, complete the following steps. The E Series DAQ

device must be on for 30 minutes before you calibrate the offset voltage.

1. Select the desired channel and gain on the E Series DAQ device.

2. Short the inputs on the SCC-TC0Xscrew terminals or miniplug.

3. While acquiring data on the selected channel, use a screwdriver to

adjust the potentiometer protruding through the top of the module until

you read 0 VDC.

Calibrating the SCC-TC0XUsing a Thermocouple

Calibrator

To calibrate the system using a thermocouple calibrator, complete the

following steps:

1. Make sure that the thermocouple connections at both the SCC and the

thermocouple calibrator are at the same temperature.

2. Connect the thermocouple calibrator to the SCC-TC0X. For best

results, use thermocouple wire of the same length and type that you

use in the thermocouple.

3. Set the thermocouple calibrator to the required calibration

temperature.

4. Measure the calibrator voltage using the SCC-TC0X.

5. Convert the measured calibrator voltage to a temperature measurement

as described in the Scaling Voltage Measurements section.

6. Adjust the potentiometer on the top of the SCC-TC0Xso that the

measured temperature is equal to the calibration temperature.
