Parallel Functions in MC5P
This chapter explains what kind of simultaneous tasks you can do
with MC5P.
Every module in MC5P may si-
multaneously have their own
tasks. Also every available
output connector (ENV, AUX
and COM/PRT) may have
their own independent tasks.
The ET module has a double
action ability: When one of the
sensor measure & generate
section terminals (T/C INT RJ,
T/C Low V, or R,RTD terminals)
is used for measuring pur-
poses. Then an electrical out-
put signal may be generated
from the ET module’s output
terminals. This feature is not
available when generating a
signal from the sensor mea-
sure & generate section termi-
nals.
The ET module is also capable
of doing the following double
tasks:
• Measuring Low Voltages or thermocouples (connected to any
terminal used when measuring thermocouples) and at the same
time either measuring or simulating an RTD with the RTD sen-
sor terminals.
• Generating Low voltages or simulating a thermocouple (con-
nected to any terminal used when simulating thermocouples)
and at the same time measuring with the RTD sensor termi-
nals.
Warning!
There is no galvanic isolation between the ET module’s mea-
suring terminals and generating terminals.
