Can I mix different thermocouple types on one AI563 module?
Yes, each of the 4 channels is independently configurable. You can use type J on channel 1 and type K on channel 2 without problems.
What happens if I connect a voltage more than 30V?
The overvoltage protection handles up to 30V DC. Brief surges up to 35V for 0.5s are tolerated, but continuous overvoltage may damage the input.
Do I need an external cold junction compensator?
No. The AI563 has internal cold junction sensing. For high precision you can use an external isothermal terminal, but it’s not mandatory.
Is this module suitable for hazardous areas?
No, the AI563 is designed for safe area / control cabinet use only. For Zone 1 applications consider ABB’s S900 series like AI950S.
How fast does the module update all channels?
Total update time for all 4 channels is less than 1.6 seconds. Each channel takes 400ms conversion time.
What is the minimum wire gauge for terminals?
Use 0.5mm² to 2.5mm² stranded or solid wire. Terminal screws torque to 0.5‑0.6Nm.
Can I power the module from the CPU backplane?
Yes, it draws approx. 5mA from the CPU interface. The main field supply (24V DC) must be connected to terminals 19/20.
Does it support RTD sensors like Pt100?
No, AI563 is thermocouple‑only. For RTDs use ABB AI561 or AI950S modules.
What is the typical delivery time?
In‑stock items ship within 24 hours via FedEx/UPS/DHL. Please contact us for bulk orders.
