JOPPICH TS Series: Comprehensive Module Range and Technical Overview

The JOPPICH TS Series represents a dedicated line of temperature monitoring and signal conditioning modules engineered for continuous-duty deployment in heavy industrial environments. Installed across chemical processing plants, petroleum refineries, nuclear power generation facilities, and large-scale HVAC control systems, the TS Series occupies a critical position in distributed control system (DCS) and PLC architectures where thermocouple and RTD signal integrity is non-negotiable. The series is characterized by its DIN-rail-compatible form factor, galvanic isolation between input and output channels, and compatibility with standard 4–20 mA analog backplane buses. Field installations of TS Series modules are documented across facilities in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, where long equipment lifecycles of 15–25 years make spare parts availability a primary procurement concern.

The Evolution of TS Series Architecture

The JOPPICH TS Series was introduced as a modular response to the limitations of hardwired thermocouple transmitters in large-scale panel installations. Early-generation units (TS-01 through TS-04) were designed for single-channel thermocouple input with manual cold-junction compensation, targeting Type K and Type J sensor inputs. These modules communicated via passive 4–20 mA loops and required external power supplies rated at 24 VDC.

Mid-generation revisions (TS-05 through TS-10) introduced onboard microprocessor-based linearization, expanding sensor compatibility to include Type T, Type E, Type R, Type S, and Type B thermocouples, as well as Pt100 and Pt1000 RTD inputs. This generation also introduced HART protocol overlay on the analog output, enabling remote configuration and diagnostics without loop interruption.

Later-generation modules (TS-11 onward) adopted a dual-channel architecture, reducing panel space requirements by 50% per measurement point. These units added PROFIBUS-PA and Foundation Fieldbus H1 communication options, enabling direct integration into modern DCS platforms including Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell Experion, and Yokogawa CENTUM VP. Firmware-configurable input type selection eliminated the need for hardware jumpers, reducing commissioning time.

The TS Series is currently in its mature/end-of-active-production phase. JOPPICH has transitioned primary development resources to successor platforms; however, the installed base of TS Series modules in long-lifecycle facilities creates sustained demand for replacement units, repair services, and functional equivalents. DriveKNMS maintains dedicated stock and sourcing channels for the full TS Series range.

Sourcing Hard-to-Find & Obsolete TS Series Parts

DriveKNMS operates as a specialist distributor for industrial automation components with a focus on lifecycle extension for mature and discontinued product lines. For the JOPPICH TS Series, this encompasses the following sourcing capabilities:

New-old-stock (NOS) units sourced from verified industrial surplus channels are inspected and function-tested prior to dispatch. Reconditioned units undergo full disassembly, component-level inspection, and calibration against traceable reference standards before re-entry into inventory. For models where original units are unavailable, DriveKNMS maintains a cross-reference database mapping TS Series SKUs to functional equivalents from alternative manufacturers, with documented compatibility notes for common DCS backplane configurations.

Customers operating facilities with 10+ year maintenance horizons are advised to establish blanket purchase agreements or consignment stock arrangements to mitigate future availability risk. DriveKNMS can provide multi-year supply commitments for high-volume TS Series requirements upon request.

Quality Control for the TS Series Range

Each TS Series unit processed by DriveKNMS undergoes a structured verification protocol adapted to the specific electrical architecture of the module type:

Input channel verification is performed using a precision thermocouple/RTD simulator calibrated to IEC 60584 and IEC 60751 reference tables. Output linearity is checked at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the configured input span, with deviation recorded against the manufacturer's published accuracy specification. Galvanic isolation integrity is tested at 500 VDC between input, output, and power supply terminals. HART communication modules are verified using a HART communicator for device descriptor (DD) recognition, variable mapping, and loop current mode confirmation. PROFIBUS-PA and Foundation Fieldbus units are bench-tested on a live segment with a Class II coupler to confirm GSD/CFF file compatibility and cyclic data exchange. All test results are documented and accompany each unit shipment.
