Preface About this User's Guide What you will learn from this user's guide This user's guide describes the Omega Engineering OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK data acquisition device and lists device specifications. Conventions in this user's guide For more information Text presented in a box signifies additional information related to the subject matter.
MAC address. xxxxxx USB interface The OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK is a USB 2.0 full-speed device that is compatible with USB 3.0 ports. The device is also compatible with USB 1.1 ports. 40-pin ribbon cable for the EXPANSION connector is included with the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK-EXP32.
Connecting the external power adapter Power to the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK is provided with the 5 V external power adapter (OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK- PS). Connect the adapter cord to the power connector on the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK device, and plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
Link Local Only The OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK is assigned a link-local IP address by the Windows PC or other host that supports link-local addressing. A link-local address is valid only for communications between the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK and the device to which it is connected.
Setting up the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK for communication across networks In order to communicate with the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK from a computer connected to a different network – such as over the Internet – you must change the network configuration of the network router.
The maximum communication distance without using a repeater is 100 meters. External power connector Connect the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK-PS power supply to this connector. The power supply provides 5 VDC, 2 A power to the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK. TC input connectors, measurements, and LED A thermocouple consists of two dissimilar metals that are joined together at one end.

Figure 4. OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK common mode voltage connections example Cold junction compensation (CJC) Each TC input on the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK has a high-resolution CJC sensor. When you connect the thermocouple sensor leads to the sensor input channel, the dissimilar metals at the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK terminal blocks produce an additional thermocouple junction.
I/O signal source is 1 foot. Digital inputs The OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK provides eight digital inputs with rates of 500 port reads or single bit reads per second. Digital input voltage ranges of 0 V to 15 V are permitted, with thresholds of 0.6 V (low) and 2.2 V (high).

Figure 5. Digital input connection example Digital outputs/temperature alarms The OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK has 32 digital outputs which are open-drain. Each DO bit has a 100 kΩ pull-up resistor and can sink up to 100 mA for direct drive applications. Use the eight PULL-UP ENABLE –...
When pull-up is disabled for a digital bit, the bit is left floating. LED indicators The OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK has four LEDs that indicate the power, communication, alarm, and open TC status...
USB/shielded Ethernet connection already grounds the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK and a connected OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK-EXP32. RESET button Press and hold this button to restore the OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK to its factory default network settings. Refer to Restoring factory default network settings on page 10 Both the POWER and ACTIVITY LEDs blink in firmware upgrade mode.
Chapter 4 Specifications All specifications are subject to change without notice. Typical for 25 °C unless otherwise specified. Specifications in italic text are guaranteed by design. Thermocouple input Table 1. Generic analog input specifications Parameter Condition Specification A/D converter type Delta-Sigma A/D resolution 24-bit...
OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK User's Guide Specifications Calibration method Factory Recommended warm-up time 20 minutes min Calibration interval 1 year (factory calibration) Note 1: The enabled thermocouple inputs are continuously converted at the maximum A/D converter rate. Note 2: When thermocouple sensors are connected to different common mode voltages, the channels with floating thermocouples sensors will be biased to approximately the average value of the applied common mode voltages.
OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK User's Guide Specifications Digital input/output Table 5. Digital input specifications Parameter Specification Number of inputs 8 channels Configuration Fixed input Input voltage range 0 V to +15 V Input type CMOS (Schmitt trigger) 100 kΩ pull-up resistor, 28.7 kΩ series resistor...
OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK User's Guide Specifications Temperature alarms Table 7. Temperature alarm specifications Parameter Specification Number of alarms 32, shared with digital output Each alarm controls its associated digital output line as an alarm output. When an alarm is enabled, its associated output line is driven to the appropriate state Alarm functionality determined by the alarm options and input temperature.
OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK User's Guide Specifications Note 7: Voltage specification applies at barrel plug power input. The power supply provided with the device meets this specification at the rated total power supply current. If a different power supply is used, small line resistances could cause significant voltage drop between the power supply and the barrel plug input.
ACTIVITY LEDs blink in firmware upgrade mode. On when there is a valid connection and blinks when a command is sent to the ACTIVITY LED OMB-DAQ-TC-RACK. Both the POWER and ACTIVITY LEDs blink in firmware upgrade mode. ALARM LED Indicates that an alarm condition is met.
