Analog Value Processing
Linearization:
With this function, you can obtain a characteristic linearization of the thermo-
couples of type J, K, and L or of the resistance thermometer PT 100. With module
464-8MA21, the linearization must always be activated together with the
corresponding compensation of the reference point temperature.
Thermocouples:
Type J: - 200° C to +1200° C
Type K: - 200° C to +1369° C
Type L: - 199° C to + 900° C
Temperature
For the thermocouples of type J, K, and L, you can compensate, on the one hand,
compensation: the temperature of the reference point using a compensating box.
(See Figure 11-1). On the other hand, it is possible to move the reference point to
the front of the module by activating the "temperature compensation" function.
When thermocouples are directly connected, an internal circuit on the module
causes the digital value "0" to be displayed independently of the temperature of
the terminal when the temperature at the measuring junction is 0° C (32° F). In
order to accomplish this, the terminals of the sensors have to be connected
directly to the module, i.e., without a copper extension cable.
