Introduction
The K-TC 2.0 is Influx's upgraded version of the older K-TC modules. Like the previous modules, these are stackable instrumentation devices compatible with Influx's entire range of data loggers. These can also be integrated with any device configured via DBC files, other logger systems, or output signals on CAN for the Rebel Dash display.
The K-TC 2.0 is an ideal solution for applications that require a large number of thermocouple inputs. The K-TC 2.0's accurate sensor data is transmitted periodically on the CAN bus, enabling multiple devices to be connected. In addition, The temperature data is simultaneously logged in the inbuilt micro SD card (8GB), the K-TC 2.0 CAN bus settings, calibration and sampling rates are all easily configurable, and these settings are stored within the K-TC 2.0 even when the device is not powered.
