Current/Voltage/Temperature-sensing Analog Input Module Features (5069-IY4) Chapter 4
Sensor Type Temperature Limits
The 5069-IY4 lets you set temperature limits when the module uses the RTD or
Thermocouple input types.
The choices made during module configuration for the following parameters
determine Sensor Type temperature limits:
• Input Type
• Sensor Type
• Temperature Units
To see where to set the parameters that affect temperature limits on the 5069-IY4
module, see
page 96.
For example, you can configure a channel with the following parameters:
• Input Type = RTD
• Sensor Type = 120 Ohm NI 672
• Temperature Units = Celsius
In this case, the Scaling parameters are set as follows:
• Low Signal = -80.0000 °C
Low Engineering = -80.0000
• High Signal = 320.0000 °C
High Engineering = 320.0000
IMPORTANT
When you make the configuration choices that are listed previously, the
Scaling parameters are automatically set on the Chxx category of the
Module Properties dialog box. They cannot be changed in the software.
The Low Signal value equals the Low Engineering value. The High Signal value
equals the High Engineering value.
