It supports a broad range of sensor types—J, K, T, E, S, R, B, and N—as well as ±50 mV and ±100 mV signals, making it suitable for diverse thermal monitoring tasks. Its sigma-delta A/D conversion method ensures stable readings, while built-in cold-junction compensation enhances accuracy across all channels. Designed for installation in any chassis slot except slot 0, the module operates without external power, drawing all required voltage from the SLC backplane. Key Features: Multi-Sensor Compatibility: Accepts thermocouples J, K, T, E, S, R, B, and N as well as ±50 mV and ±100 mV mV signals. Four Isolated Channels: Each channel is individually backplane-isolated for improved signal integrity. Advanced A/D Conversion: Utilizes sigma-delta modulation to provide stable, precise measurements. Open-Circuit Detection: Configurable for Zero, Upscale, or Downscale responses to identify faulty sensors. Flexible Filtering Options: Selectable channel filters (250 Hz, 60 Hz, 50 Hz, 10 Hz) help reduce electrical noise. Backplane-Powered Design: Operates entirely from 5 VDC and 24 VDC backplane currents, requiring no external supply. Wide Update Range: Update times between 26 ms and 1.2 s accommodate both fast and slow-changing processes. Robust Operating Range: Functions reliably from 0 to 60 °C with a storage range down to −40 °C. The 1746-NT4 delivers the accuracy and flexibility required for dependable temperature and low-level signal acquisition in SLC 500 automation systems.
