Page 25: Measurements Pressure Measurement
EASUREMENTS RESSURE EASUREMENT MC6-Ex supports the use of both internal pressure modules, if installed, and the use of supported external pressure modules, EXT, when they are connected to MC6-Ex's PX connector. Note that pressure measurement requires knowledge of pressure types (abso- lute pressure, gauge pressure and differential pressure).
Page 26: Current Measurement
EASUREMENT When measuring electric current, an important thing is selecting whether MC6-Ex provides the loop supply voltage or not. If not, an external device should provide the loop supply voltage. Connection depends on the loop supply setting. See pictures to the right.
Page 27: Temperature Measurement (Thermocouple)
TC2 is for TC plugs with flat contacts. Check the Sensor Type. Your measurement results are unreliable unless you select the same sensor type as is connected to MC6-Ex. Select also a suitable Reference Junction compensation method. Wrong settings yield useless measurement results.
