CANchecked Thermocouple Amplifier to CAN Bus
One of the smallest and fastest type-K converters in the world
Optimal for type-K sensors in connection with digital CAN Bus displays and standalone ECU's
The TCCXX is a so-called "Thermocouple Amplifier" - i.e. a device that amplifies and converts the signal of a type K sensor. The TCCXX are the big siblings of our TCC01 . However, the significant difference lies in the data transmission. While the TCC01 outputs an analog 0-5 volt voltage, the TCCXX send their measured values to the CAN bus. Our TCCXX is available in four different sizes and designs:
- TCC04 – 4x Type-K to CAN
- TCC06 – 6x Type-K to CAN
- TCC08 – 8x Type-K to CAN
- TCC10 – 10x Type-K to CAN
These allow you to connect up to ten Type-K thermocouples and send the measured values via CAN bus and/or monitor them directly on your WLAN-enabled device.
Type-K thermocouples are suitable for various applications such as measuring exhaust gas temperature (AGT), temperatures before/after the intercooler, cylinder head temperatures, water temperature, oil temperature and more. All measurements are cold junction compensated with a measuring range of 0 to 1250°C in 0.25°C resolution (14bit).
The TCCXX have a four-pin DTM connection for CAN/power and miniature K sockets. The CAN 2.0A/B standard is supported with flexible configuration. This means your next EGT to CAN module is compatible with many devices from other manufacturers.
The highlight is the WLAN connectivity, which you can use to configure and update your module via smartphone or PC and query the current temperature and thermocouple status.
Configuration
The devices can be configured via WLAN:
- Can Speed: 125kbps, 250kbps, 500kbps, 1Mbps
- Emulation: Standard, Motec,haltech, Ecumaster, AEMnet
- Change of standard Can Bus Id
- Big/Little Endian change
We also support the following control devices:
- Emtron
- MaxxECU
- Motec
- Haltech
- Ecumaster (black/classic)
- LinkECU
Delivery content
- TCCXX in housing
But the type K converter can not only be used for exhaust gas temperatures. Also for liquids (1mm thermocouples) and gases (0.5mm thermocouples).
Technical specifications
- Accuracy: maximum 2% deviation
- Internal cold junction compensation
- For measuring gases, liquids and other media
- Support of different type K elements (also 0.5, 1, 3 and 5mm diameter)
Installation
The installation of the Thermocouple Converter TCCXX (Thermocouple Amplifier) is easy. It should be placed in a dry and not too hot place, for example behind the bulkhead.
