2.4.5 Displaying Temperature Conversion Value
The detected temperature value converted into through sampling processing of a thermocouple in-
put value times by ten and that is displayed as a digital value, which is called temperature conver-
sion value.
[Example] When a real temperature is 100.5°C
• Detected temperature value : 1005
( Digital value stored in the output variable TEMP of the reading function block.
Digital value stored in the internal memory)
2.4.6 Displaying Digital Value
The thermocouple input module gives a digital value which has been calculated from a temperature
value to be suitable for process control of the PID control module. This value can be used as an in-
put value (Process Value) in the PID control module.
