The OMB-DBK90 module provides 56 channels of high-accuracy thermocouple (TC) inputs. The OMB-DBK90 is ideally suited for high-channel-count TC applications, with a maximum TC capacity of 896 channels per system. For larger channel-count applications, multiple mainframes can be combined for a maximum channel capacity of 3584 channels. Thermocouples attach to the OMB-DBK90 via mini-TC input connectors, and any TC type can be installed into any channel. Each row of 14 TC inputs has a separate cold-junction sensor to ensure accurate readings.
OMB-DBK90 modules are housed in a rugged all-metal package that can be connected to an OMB-DAQSCAN-2000 and rack-mounted with an optional rack-mount kit. When multiple OMB-DBK90’s are mounted together, a male and female P1 connector on either side of the unit provides all system connections so that only a single cable is required back to the A/D mainframe. For distributed applications, such as throughout the cabin of a vehicle, OMB-DBK90 modules can be mounted as separate units. Up to 20' of cable can be used to connect OMB-DBK90 modules.
Each OMB-DBK90 has a built-in auto-zero channel and a CJC channel. The OMB-DBK90 can measure one TC channel in 3 ms, 14 TC channels in 16 ms, and all 56 TC channels in 61 ms. An OMB-DBK90 based system of 896 channels can be measured in 976 ms. This speed is slower than other OMB-DBK modules to ensure that the TC measurements are accurate, low-noise, and stable. Typical measurement accuracies are better than 0.7°C, with channel-to- channel variation typically less than 0.5°C. If OMB-DBK90 measurements are mixed with measurements from other OMB-DBK options, the other measurements can be made at their standard 5 or 10 µs/channel rate.
