Measurement of TC (with Custom Polynomial Linearisation) on sensor 1
PRIMARY_VALUE_UNIT
= K, °C, °F or °R
LIN_TYPE
= Custom defined TC
LIN_TYPE_2
= N/A (ignored in setup check)
SENSOR_MEAS_TYPE
= PV = SV_1, SV_2 not available
SENSOR_CONNECTION
= N/A (ignored in setup check)
SENSOR_CONNECTION_2
= N/A (ignored in setup check)
RJ_TYPE
= No Reference Junction, Internal, External
(constant value) or
Sensor 2-wire or Sensor 3-wire
Connections:
TC,
internal CJC
TC, 2-wire,
external CJC
TC, 3-wire,
external CJC
Now enter the Custom TC parameters in PR_CUST_LIN Block (PA Slot 4). See 3.9.4
Custom Polynomial Linearisation, Parameter List for further details.
Remember to enter values for the RJ polynomial if RJ_TYPE is any value other than “No
reference Junction”.
Example:
The parameters and coefficients for converting a special TC to a linear temperature signal.
