The key difference is that Module TM3TI4D offers four (4) Temperature inputs for the usage of Thermocouples only (Types: K, J, R, S, B, E, T, N, C).
This module is similar to the TM3TI4 module, except that it is exclusive to thermocouple usage only; the difference is that it has differential channels to measure temperatures with better channel isolation.
Therefore, non-isolated thermocouples can be used. The module has 2 separate references: one with screw terminals (TM3TI4D) and one with spring terminals (TM3TI4DG).
Technical characteristics of TM3TI4 module:
