3. Setup u Wiring

Proper wiring is essential for the correct operation of the NT57B08 module. Refer to the diagrams below for connection details.

3.1 Board Layout and Interfaces

Figure 2: NT57B08 Board Layout showing Power, RS485, and Sensor Interfaces. The board features a DC 7-30V power input (GND, VIN), an RS485 BUS interface (A+, B-), and 8 channels for NTC sensors or resistance measurement (T1-T8 with corresponding + and - terminals). TVS surge protection is integrated for the RS485 bus.

3.2 NTC Temperature Measurement Wiring

Connect NTC thermistor sensors to the designated T1-T8 terminals. Ensure correct polarity if applicable, though NTC sensors typically do not have strict polarity requirements. The recommended NTC parameter is 10K B3950 1%, with a cable length range of up to 10 meters.

Figure 3: Wiring diagram for connecting 8 NTC temperature sensors to the NT57B08 module. Power is supplied via DC 7-30V, and communication is established via RS485. Each NTC sensor connects to a pair of T terminals (e.g., T1- and T1+).

3.3 Resistance Measurement Wiring

To measure resistance, connect the resistors directly to the T1-T8 terminals. The module supports resistance measurements in the range of 1K to 200K ohms.
