The Italian company ACS tests satellite electronics in a space simulator. Here the test components are exposed to temperature fluctuations in the range from -180°C to +200°C, and this within a few seconds. The temperature is measured by Cu-CuNi thermoelements (type T). The thermoelement voltages are converted into standard analog signals using programmable MCR-TC measuring transducers from PHOENIX CONTACT and thus ensure a quick and accurate coupling of process variabies and the controller. Even non-linear, customer-specific temperature characteristics are no obstacle for the MCR-TC or its counterpart for resistance Thermometers, the MCR-RTD. Das italienische Unternehmen
