1.1 Functions
1. Thermocouple input unit for FP0/FP
Σ
Control Unit
The temperature data obtained using the thermocouple is converted to the digital value to be read into the
FP0/
FP
Σ
Control Unit.
2. Thermocouple types K, J, T and R are available.
3. 3 temperature measurement ranges are available.
-100.0 to +500.0
(Thermocouple types: K and J)
-100.0 to +400.0
(Thermocouple type : T)
0.0 to +1500.0
(Thermocouple type : R)
4. The data can be converted to the degree Celsius or the degree Fahrenheit.
The temperature data measured using the sensor is converted to the degree Celsius or the degree
Fahrenheit inside the Thermocouple Unit.
5. The averaging function is installed.
The converted data (degree Celsius or Fahrenheit) is averaged, so that even unstable input signals can
be properly read.
6. The broken-thermocouple detector is attached.
A thermocouple, broken, can be detected.

1.3 Unit Connection Limit
- Number limit
Up to 3 expansion units can be connected with the Control Unit.
- Position limit
Install the thermocouple unit on the right side of other expansion unit. If it is installed on the left side, the
total
precision will deteriorate.
