Parallel Functions in MC5-IS
96
Advanced Operation and Configuration
This chapter explains what kind of simultaneous tasks you can do
with MC5-IS.
Every module in MC5-
IS may simultaneously
have their own tasks.
RS232
Also, the
con-
nector may have its
own independent task.
The ET module has a
double action ability:
When one of the sen-
sor measure & gener-
ate section terminals (
is used for measuring purposes. Then an electrical output signal
may be generated from the
feature is not available when generating a signal from the sensor
measure & generate section terminals.
The ET module is also capable of doing the following double tasks:
•
Measuring Low Voltages or thermocouples (connected to any
terminal used when measuring thermocouples) and at the
same time either measuring or simulating an RTD with the
RTD sensor terminals.
•
Generating Low Voltages or simulating a thermocouple (con-
nected to any terminal used when simulating thermocouples)
and at the same time measuring with the RTD sensor termi-
nals.
Warning!
There is no galvanic isolation between the ET module's measur-
ing terminals and generating terminals.
