SCC-TC Series Thermocouple  
Input Modules  
The SCC-TC Series thermocouple input modules, SCC-TC01 and  
SCC-TC02, accept input signals from B-, E-, J-, K-, N-, R-, S-, and T-type  
thermocouples. The thermocouple inputs are filtered and passed into a  
differential amplifier with a gain of 100. The output of the amplifier passes  
through a dual-pole 2 Hz filter. Each module contains thermistor circuitry,  
powered by a 2.5 V reference, to compensate for cold-junction effects.  
Each module also can detect open thermocouple circuits.  
Alternatively, you can connect voltage signals up to 100 mV to the screw  
terminals of the SCC-TC02 and use it as a low-bandwidth millivolt-input  
module.

To avoid damage from ESD when you handle the module, take the  
following precautions:  
Ground yourself by using a grounding strap or by touching a grounded  
object.  
Touch the antistatic envelope to a metal part of the computer chassis  
before removing the module from the envelope.  
Remove the module from the envelope and inspect the module for loose  
components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if the module appears  
damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged module.  
Store the module in the antistatic envelope when it is not in use.

A blue stripe on the label identifies the SCC-TC0X as an analog input  
module. The label also displays the icon shown in Figure 1.  
TC  
Figure 1. SCC-TC0X Icon  
You can plug the SCC-TC0X into any analog input socket on the SC-2345.  
The socket you select determines which E Series DAQ device channels  
receive the SCC-TC0X signals.  
For single-stage input conditioning, plug the SCC-TC0X into any socket J  
(X +1), where X is 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-TC0X in 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 X is 0 to 7. Connect the input  
signals to SCC-TC0X as 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  
in an SCC-TC0X followed by an SCC-LP01 lowpass filter module.  
Sockets J9 to J16 also are available for digital input/output (DIO)  
conditioning or control. Refer to the SC-2345 User Manual for more  
information on configuring, connecting and installing SCC modules  
Note SCC-TC0X dual-stage configuration is only available in NI-DAQ 7.1 or later.  
Connecting the Input Signals  
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.

After you install the SCC-TC02, attach the input signals to the screw  
terminals of the module.  
1. Remove power from the signal lines.  
2. Strip 7 mm (0.28 in.) of insulation from the ends of the signal wires.  
3. Insert the wires into the screw terminals.  
4. Tighten the screws to 0.5 to 0.6 N m (4.4 to 5.3 lb in.) of torque.  
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 AIGND on the E Series DAQ device.  
The SCC-TC0X has a 10 Mbias 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.

Detecting Open Thermocouples  
The SCC-TC0X contains a 10 Mpull-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 Mbias resistor in  
the SCC-TC0X causes this error to be negligible. With the 10 Mbias  
resistor connected to ground and the 10 Mpull-up resistor connected to  
+5 VDC, a current leakage of approximately 0.25 µA (5 V/20 M) 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 /ft + 0.658 /ft) × 20 ft × 0.25 µA  
can develop in the thermocouple, which corresponds to an error of 0.09 °C.  
With 10 Mpull-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-TC0X is 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.

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 Converting Voltage Measurements to Temperature  
Measurements section.  
6. Adjust the potentiometer on the top of the SCC-TC0X so that the  
measured temperature is equal to the calibration temperature.  
Converting Voltage Measurements to Temperature  
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:  
VESERIES  
VTC = ---------------------

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 [ACH(X+8)].  
b. Convert the thermistor voltage to cold-junction temperature using  
the formula in the Cold-Junction Sensor Output and Accuracy  
section.  
3. Calculate the cold-junction compensation voltage by converting the  
cold-junction temperature you got in 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 you got in step 3  
to VTC  
.
5. Calculate the thermocouple temperature by converting the voltage  
result you got in 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 come from NIST Monograph 175.
