X-13S™ | Thermocouple Expansion Module

$179.99

The X-13S™ is a two-channel thermocouple expansion module for the X-400™ and X-600M™ controllers. Designed as a signal conditioner for Type-K thermocouples, it provides accurate temperature measurement for demanding industrial applications.

Common use cases include kilns, furnaces, ovens, process heating systems, and industrial equipment monitoring where precise thermal data is critical. Multiple X-13S™ modules can be connected via ribbon cable, which supplies both power and communication from the host controller—allowing scalable integration of temperature sensing into larger automation systems.

X-600M Setup and Programming Demo

X-600M Setup

The diagrams illustrate how this demonstration is wired. The relays on all expansion modules are not connected to a load; however, you can still access and control the relays by turning them on or off through the X-600M dashboard. The X-600M is also wired to a temperature sensor, and the X-13s is connected to a thermocouple. Both sensors can be monitored on the X-600M’s dashboard. The digital input states on the X-15s only changes when a voltage is applied to the inputs. For this demonstration, we have connected one of our X-332 controllers to Input 1 on the X-15s. You can apply a voltage to this input by accessing the control page for the X-332 (Digital Input Control Page).

Important Information

  • Multiple users may be accessing this device simultaneously so the device can change while you are using it.
  • This unit will be reset to factory defaults daily at 2:30AM MST.
  • Please DO NOT change network or password settings.
