Mitsubishi Universal model AJ65BT-68TD Redundant Power Supply Module
AJ65BT-68TD Description
The AJ65BT-68TD is a high-precision remote temperature input module designed for industrial CC-Link fieldbus networks. It features 8 channels for universal thermocouple input plus a dedicated Pt100 cold junction compensation channel, enabling accurate temperature measurement across a wide range of industrial processes. This module converts analog thermocouple signals (types B, R, S, K, E, J, T) into high-resolution digital data, which is transmitted reliably over the CC-Link network to the main controller. Engineered for decentralized temperature monitoring in demanding environments, it offers robust isolation, multi-channel versatility, and seamless integration into automated manufacturing and process control systems.
