This VME-based thermocouple card converts temperature sensor signals into digital values. The GE IS200VTCCH1C IS200VTCCH1CBB accepts up to sixteen independent thermocouple input channels. Each channel supports types J, K, T, and E for versatile temperature measurement. Consequently, operators can monitor exhaust gases, bearing housings, or cooling systems with high accuracy.
Technical Specifications of the Thermocouple Card
The GE IS200VTCCH1C IS200VTCCH1CBB fits a standard VME 6U form factor seamlessly. Its height measures 233.4 mm, and its depth reaches 160 mm. The board weighs approximately 0.58 kg including all cold-junction compensation circuitry. A single front panel LED array shows channel status and fault conditions at a glance. The rear side uses a 64-pin DIN 41612 connector for backplane signals and power. This design stores minimal energy in small filtering capacitors only. Therefore, the board contains no batteries or large energy storage elements.

Functional Features and Signal Conditioning
The GE IS200VTCCH1C IS200VTCCH1CBB performs automatic cold-junction compensation for accurate readings. You can select the thermocouple type independently for each of the sixteen channels. The onboard firmware linearizes voltage inputs directly into degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Each channel also includes open-circuit detection for immediate fault reporting. Consequently, operators receive alerts for broken or disconnected thermocouple wires instantly.
Installation and System Integration
You must install this thermocouple card into any standard VME backplane chassis. The GE IS200VTCCH1C IS200VTCCH1CBB requires no field wiring connections directly on the board. Instead, use a compatible termination panel like the IS200TTCCH1C for all sensor wiring. A 64-pin ribbon cable links the card to the termination panel securely. Always verify thermocouple polarity before applying power to the system.
Maintenance and Operational Benefits
Because the GE IS200VTCCH1C IS200VTCCH1CBB stores no battery-backed data, it requires no periodic battery replacement. Technicians can remove and reinstall the card without losing calibration settings. The Flash memory retains all configuration parameters and sensor type assignments indefinitely. Consequently, system maintenance becomes simpler and less time-consuming compared to battery-dependent designs.
