Module Reading (Stand-Alone Type) (G3F-Tc4A : Tc4Rd, G4F-Tc2A/G6F-Tc2A:tc2Rd); Block - LG G3F-TC4A User Manual

Chapter 4. FUNCTION BLOCKS
4.2.3 Module Reading (Stand-alone type)
The stand-alone type module reading function block outputs the temperature conversion value to which
each channel of the thermocouple input module is set to output variable TEMP.

Function block execution request area
- Used to request an execution of the conversion value reading function
block
REQ BOOL
- If the conditions connected with this area are established and "0"
changes into "1" while the program is running, the reading function block
is executed.
Base location No.
- Used to write the base No. where the thermocouple input module is
BASE USINT mounted.
- Setting range: GM1 series(0~31), GM2 series(0~7), GM3/4 series(0-3)
Slot location No.
- Used to write the slot No. where the thermocouple input module is
SLOT USINT
mounted.
- Setting range: 0~7
USINT Specifying the use channel.
CH
Setting range : 0 to 15 (G4F-TC2A/G6F-TC2A: 0 to 3)
Function block finished execution status
- "1" is output when the reading function block is finished without error
DONE BOOL
and "1" remains until next execution. If an error occur, '0' is output and
the operation enters into the stop state.
Error status indication area
USINT
- Used to output the error No. when it occurs during reading function block
STAT
execution.
- For description of errors, refer to the Section 4.4
BOOL Run channel error indication area
ALM
- "1" is output when error occurs for corresponding run channel.
Temperature conversion value output area
- The CPU module reads the temperature conversion value of the
corresponding channel from the thermocouple-input module and
outputs it to this area.
TEMP INT
- The temperature conversion value of corresponding channel is 10 times
than the real temperature value.
(Example: Temperature conversion value 1234 → Real temperature
value 123.4°C)
Digital conversion value output area
- The CPU module reads the digital conversion value of the corresponding
channel from the thermocouple input module and outputs it to this area.
- The temperature conversion value of corresponding channel within its measuring
temperature range is converted into a digital value within 0 to 16000 and it is
outputted to this area.
INT
- The Value read from the output variable SCAL.
SCAL
- The output value through digital conversion can be used as a PV of the PID control
module.
