Thermocouple wire break detection
• The system checks for wire breaks by applying a minuscule current each date refresh interval
when measuring temperature using thermocouples.
• Measured values are not affected since wire breaks are detected when measurement is not being
performed.
• If the data refresh intervals are the same, setting
noise rejection since it results in a cutoff frequency that is higher than the
Check "Digital filter" of each module in "10.2 Plug-in Module Specifications" (p. 2 43) for the cutoff
frequency.
• If the thermocouple resistance exceeds roughly the next value, the system will determine that a
wire break has occurred.
