Each thermocouple input channel on the NI 9212 simultaneously passes through the filtered differential amplifier and is then sampled by the ADC, as shown in the following figure. Figure 1. Input Circuitry of the NI 9212 TC 0+ 2.67 M˖ 2.67 M˖ TC 0– Input Open Impedance Thermocouple Detection Current COM 0 Filter Differential Amplifier Isolated ADC Differential Amplifier Isolated ADC ISOLATION TC 7+ 2.67 M˖ 2.67 M˖ TC 7 – Input Open Impedance Thermocouple Detection Current COM 7 Filter NI 9212 Each thermocouple channel has an open thermocouple detection (OTD) circuit, which consists of a current source between the TC+ and TC- terminals. If a thermocouple connected to the channel becomes disconnected or open, the current source forces a full-scale voltage across the terminals. Each thermocouple channel also has a resistor between the TC+ and channel common, and between the TC- and channel common. Because long thermocouple wires can act like resistors, the bias current from the OTD circuit can cause small offset errors. The gain and offset errors resulting from the source impedance of connected thermocouples are negligible for many applications. Thermocouples with a higher lead resistance can introduce more significant errors. The NI 9212 supports four timing modes which are High Resolution, Best 50 Hz Rejection, Best 60 Hz Rejection, and High Speed. High Resolution is optimized for accuracy and overall noise rejection, Best 50 Hz Rejection is optimized for rejection of 50 Hz noise, Best 60 Hz Rejection is optimized for rejection of 60 Hz noise, and High Speed is optimized for sample rate and signal bandwidth. 4 | ni.com | NI 9212 Datasheet Temperature Measurement Accuracy Considerations Temperature measurement errors depend partly on the thermocouple type, the accuracy of the thermocouple, the temperature being measured, the resistance of the thermocouple wires, and the cold-junction temperature. For the best accuracy results, keep temperature gradients across NI 9212 terminals to a minimum. Cold-Junction Temperature Measurement Accuracy The NI TB-9212 has two cold-junction compensation channels. Heat dissipated by adjacent modules or other nearby heat sources can cause errors in thermocouple measurements by heating up the NI 9212 terminals to a different temperature than the cold-junction compensation sensor. The thermal gradient across the terminals can cause the terminals of different channels to be at different temperatures, in which case the resulting measurement creates errors not only in absolute accuracy but also in the relative accuracy between channels. Refer to the Temperature Measurement Accuracy section for the cold-junction compensation accuracy specifications and thermocouple accuracy specifications. The thermocouple accuracy specifications include the errors caused by the thermal gradient across the NI 9212 terminals for configurations with the NI 9212 terminals facing forward or upward. Minimizing Thermal Gradients Thermal gradients can be caused by changes in the ambient air temperature near the front connector or by the thermocouple wire if it conducts heat or cold directly to the terminal junctions. For the best accuracy results, follow these guidelines for minimizing thermal gradients: • Use small-gauge thermocouple wire. Smaller wire transfers less heat to or from the terminal junction. • If you are using a low channel count on the module, insert the foam pad in the NI TB-9212 opening. • Run thermocouple wiring together near the NI TB-9212 to keep the wires at the same temperature. • Avoid running thermocouple wires near hot or cold objects. • Minimize adjacent heat sources and air flow across the terminals. • If possible, use the foam pad in the NI TB-9212 opening to restrict airflow around the terminals. • Keep the ambient temperature as stable as possible. • Ensure that the module terminals face forward or upward. Keep the module in a stable and consistent orientation. • Allow the thermal gradients to settle after a change in system power or in ambient temperature. A change in system power can happen when the system powers on, the system comes out of sleep mode, or you insert/remove modules. NI 9212 Datasheet | © National Instruments | 5 Compensating for Open Thermocouple Detection (OTD) Current The OTD current causes a voltage error on the input when pushing against a source resistance. This error is minimal for many applications, but can be significant for some applications that require high accuracy and use long, narrow gauge thermocouple wires that cause large source resistances. You can compensate for the OTD bias current if your application requires high accuracy and high resistance thermocouple wires. Visit ni.com/info and enter 9212OTD for more information about compensating for the OTD errors.
