MX1609KB: High‑precision Temperature Measurements

The MX1609KB is a 16‑channel thermocouple amplifier designed for accurate and interference‑resistant temperature measurements. As part of the QuantumX family, it delivers exceptional precision, seamless system integration, and the flexibility needed for demanding R&D environments.

Key features

• High‑precision temperature measurement with accuracy up to ±0.5 K
• Fast response with sampling rates up to 600 Hz per channel for dynamic applications
• 16 galvanically isolated channels with individually optimized cold junctions enabling exact measurement results
• Advanced signal conditioning, including Bessel and Butterworth low‑pass filters
• TEDS support for automatic sensor identification
• Robust connectivity via Ethernet (PTP) and FireWire for easy system integration
• Factory calibration data stored on the device according to ISO10012

Real-time data acquisition of temperature measurements

The MX1609KB is optimized for type K thermocouples, covering a wide temperature (linearization) range from –100 to +1300 °C/–148 to +2372 °F. With internal cold junctions for each input, you are ensured maximum accuracy, while active low‑pass filtering provides clean, interference‑free signals. With up to 600 Hz per channel, the module captures rapid temperature changes with clarity, making it ideal for dynamic thermal analysis.

Typical applications

• Highly dynamic temperature measurements in research and development
• Climate chamber testing and complex thermal modeling
• Multidimensional temperature mapping using 16 individually scalable channels
• Fast‑changing thermal processes requiring high sampling rates and low noise

Fast, easy integration

All applications benefit from the module’s precision, electrical isolation, and seamless integration into larger QuantumX systems. And due to its wide range of connection options, Ethernet, FireWire, PROFINET and EtherCAT, you are sure of optimal connectivity and effortless system integration. But it is the integrated TEDS capability, where the module automatically identifies connected sensors, that allows you to streamline setup and minimize configuration time.

Comparable modules

The MX1609 series offers top quality with an outstanding price-to-performance ratio. For comparison, the MX1609TB version supports type T thermocouples,

For more challenging tasks in an electrical environment, the QuantumX MX809B insulated thermocouple amplifier is available.
