• Wiring
• Special devices
• Programs
• Error status
5.1

PLC Version Number Check

• Any versions (from Ver.2.20 (initial version) to the latest version) of the FX
• Check the version number of FX
5.2

Wiring Check

Check the following items for wiring:
1. Power
TC-ADP needs driving power. Verify that the power supply line is properly connected. Also check that the
POWER indicator lamp of TC-ADP is on.
2. Thermocouple cable
Use the insulation-type thermocouple and connect the thermocouple using the compensating lead wire. In
addition, separate the cable of the thermocouple from the other power cables or inductive cables.
3. To use thermocouple type J
To use thermocouple type J, shortcircuit the J-type terminals. If these terminals are not shortcircuited, the
temperature measurement data cannot be read out correctly.
5.3

Special Device Check

Check whether the special devices for TC-ADP are correctly used:
1. Selection of type K or J
Check if the special device for type K/J selection is correctly set.
Turn off the device to select thermocouple type K. Turn on the device to select thermocouple type J.
2. Temperature measurement
Check if the special device of the selected channel is correctly set.
This special device should be selected depending on the connecting position and the channel.
3. Number of averaging time
Verify if the set number of averaging time is within the specified range. The number of averaging time should
be set in the range from 1 to 4095. If the set number of averaging time is outside the specified range, an error
occurs.
4. Error status
Check that no error is detected on TC-ADP.
If an error is detected, check the details of the error, and then check the wiring and programs.
