Channel Input Type and Filter Frequency Selection Update Time
When you enable an embedded analog input channel, you must select an input
type and a filter frequency for that input. The selections that are made determine
the value that is required when calculating channel update time.
shows the channel update times for each channel input type and filter
frequency selection.
Cold Junction Compensation Update Times
When you use any of the thermocouple input types on your embedded analog
input, you must account for more voltage at the junction of the thermocouple
field wires and the input point. More voltage can alter the input signal on that
point and, therefore, affect the update time of that channel.
The process to account for increased voltage at an input point by using a
thermocouple type input is cold junction compensation (CJC). You enable CJC
for a given channel on the Input Configuration tab of the Module Configuration
dialog box, as shown in the following graphic.
IMPORTANT
Each channel input type has multiple ranges or types. For example, a voltage
input type can use one of six voltage ranges, as listed in
Table 10 on page 187
.
Regardless of which voltage range the channel uses, the channel update time
remains the same. For more information, see
