If a value outside the defined range is set,
the bit of address 67 that corresponds to
the channel turns on and the thermocouple
type will be set to type K.
• Temperature conversion value
: 10 times of a real temperature is displayed.
• Digital conversion value
If a temperature conversion value is converted
▶
into a value within 0 to 16000, that value is a
digital conversion value.
It can be used as a process value of the PID
▶
control module.
Expression
▶
Digital conversion value = (16000/
measuring temperature range) ×
(temperature conversion value –
minimum measuring temperature)
• Error code
16 : Disconnection detection error
17 : Upper or lower overflow
18 : Reference junction compensation device
