Temperature conversion value
: 10 times of a real temperature is displayed.
•
Digital conversion value
▶
If a temperature conversion value is converted
into a value within 0 to 16000, that value is a
digital conversion value.
▶
It can be used as a process value of the PID
control module.
▶
Expression
Digital conversion value = (16000/
measuring temperature range)
×
(temperature conversion value –
minimum measuring temperature)

If a value outside the defined range is set,
the bit of address 67 that corresponds to
the channel turns on and the thermocouple
type will be set to type K.
