Sensor Modules Assist PLC-based Temperature Monitoring

Lake Shore Cryotronics’ 240 Series of sensor input modules offer precision in cryogenic temperature measurement.

The modules, currently available on a pre-sale basis, are beneficial for industrial cryogenic process control, plant and LNG/LPG storage environments, as well as large-scale experimental physics applications. The DIN rail-mountable modules can be easily networked to PLCs for reliable temperature monitoring in industrial-scale facilities. In addition, the modules take all the hard work out of system setup by performing many of the tasks that are traditionally time consuming and prone to error. This includes excitation selection, avoidance of self-heating, thermal EMF error cancellation and conversion of sensor units to temperature values
