Thermocouple wire break detection
• The system checks for wire breaks by applying a minuscule current at the date refresh intervals
when measuring temperature using thermocouples.
• Measured values are not aected since wire breaks are detected when measurement is not being
performed.
• If the data refresh intervals are the same, setting [Burn out] to [ON] will result in less eective
noise rejection since it results in a cuto frequency that is higher than the [OFF] setting.
Check “Digital lter” of each module in “10.2 Plug-in Module Specications” (p. 310) for the cuto
frequency.
• If the thermocouple resistance exceeds roughly the next value, the system will determine that a
wire break has occurred.

When using a long thermocouple with [Burn out] set to [ON], use a thick-diameter wire to avoid false wire
break detection.
