MIKROE-1878

MIKROE-1878 is a multichannel thermocouple transmitter evaluation board. It provides a simple and cost-effective way to get acquainted with the leading line of industrial temperature measurement systems. The board is packed with features and is designed to provide convenience for any application.

The MIKROE-1878 evaluation board couples with a complete line of MIKROE-18xx family of thermocouple transmitters. With up to 18 channels to measure temperature, the MIKROE-1878 board offers convenience and versatility. It has a wide temperature range from -20°C to +85°C and an adjustable gain range.

The MIKROE-1878 is powered by a microcontroller, giving it self-diagnostics and flexibility. LED indicators on the board highlight the status of all 18 channels. The board comes with a USB interface for easy connection and monitoring. It is also equipped with a USB command line interface for diagnostics.

In addition to temperature readings, the MIKROE-1878 evaluates the respective alarm state of each channel. This is done by monitoring the minimum and maximum temperature settings of each channel. If any channel goes out of range, the contact output of the appropriate channel is activated. This feature of the MIKROE-1878 helps when monitoring an array of temperature sensors to ensure they are all working properly before full operation.

The USB interface of the MIKROE-1878 can communicate with any host computer, making it compatible with Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) or other software applications. This allows users to control the board via software instead of having to manually plug and unplug devices. The built-in USB interface also allows the board to be powered from a USB port, eliminating the need for a separate power supply.

The board also has an I2C communications protocol compatible with the industry-standard I2C bus. This allows customers to build customized design solutions without having to write their own protocol code. Additionally, the MiKROE-1878 integrates a wide range of signal conditioning features, allowing the board to be tailored to fit different kinds of thermocouple measurements, as well as analog and digital signals.

The MIKROE-1878 also provides multiple accuracy levels depending on customer needs. This feature helps to prevent over-specification of components. With a wide range of applications including renewable and alternative energy, industrial automation, automotive, and environmental engineering, the MIKROE-1878 is ready to help address a variety of applications.

The MIKROE-1878 is a great choice for monitoring and controlling temperature-sensitive areas. It provides a reliable and convenient way to monitor multiple channels of information in a single system. The board is easy to set up and configure and generates accurate data for many applications. It\'s an ideal solution for any industrial temperature monitoring system.
