The Philippi P-Bus Temperature Interface TPC 4 is a module that integrates up to four temperature sensors (Temp-HT or Temp-BT) into the P-BUS on-board monitoring system and displays the values on the PSL/PSM system monitors.
- Up to four TPC 4 modules can be operated simultaneously on the P-BUS – up to 16 measuring points in the same on-board network
- Individual alarm thresholds per sensor, e.g., for cooler, engine compartment, or battery compartment
- In combination with the CMR4 relay module, temperature-dependent actions can be switched automatically
The TPC 4 records temperature values via pluggable screw terminals and is connected to the P-BUS using the included M12-T cable. In combination with the Temp-BT sensors (water/air temperature, –30 to +70 °C) and Temp-HT sensors (up to +250 °C, e.g., for exhaust gas or alternator temperature), it covers typical monitoring tasks in the on-board network. If a measured value exceeds the defined limit, the Philippi system reports an alarm message on the on-board monitor.

The TPC 4 is part of the Philippi P-BUS system and is compatible with the PSL and PSM system monitors as well as the CMR4 relay module for automated switching operations.
How many temperature sensors can I connect to a TPC 4?
Up to 4 temperature sensors (Temp-HT or Temp-BT) can be connected per TPC 4; up to four TPC 4 modules can be operated simultaneously on the P-BUS.
Can something be switched automatically if a limit value is exceeded?
Yes, individual limit values can be defined for each sensor; additionally, temperature-dependent actions can be switched via the CMR4 relay module.
Is a connection cable included?
Yes, an M12-T cable is included in the scope of delivery.
Philippi will be happy to advise you on any questions regarding integration into your P-BUS system.
