Chapter 5 Thermocouple Input Module
5.1 General
Here describes specification, handling, and programming of XGB thermocouple input module (XBF-
TC04S/XBF-TC04B).
Thermocouple input module is used to convert the temperature data detected from thermocouple to
signed 16 bit data.
5.1.1 Characteristic
(1) Module selection according to purpose
XBF-TC04S/XBF-TC04B: 4 channel input (Insulation between channels by photomos relay)
(2) Four kinds of thermocouple available (K / J / T / R)
Available to select the different thermocouple according to each channel
(3) Voltage input (0 ~ 100
) available (XBF-TC04B)
Available to select voltage input (0~100㎷) and thermocouple (K type / J type / T type / R type)
for each channel
(4) Disconnection detection
If thermocouple is disconnected, it is detected and indicated.
(5) Celsius (
)/ Fahrenheit (
) type available
Temperature conversion data of Celsius (
)/ Fahrenheit (
) is indicated down to one decimal
place
(6) Temperature data scaling function
(Available to use it as additional data than temperature indication)
Scaling conversion of temperature data is available within -32,768~32,767/0~65,535.
(7) Various additional function
Filter process, Average process (time/count/moving), Max./Min. detection process
(8) Parameter setting / Monitoring by GUI (Graphical user interface) method
It enhanced user-friendly features by changing to I/O parameter settings (intensify user
interface) from parameter settings by previous instructions.
By [I/O Parameter], the sequence program can be reduced and by [Special Module Monitoring],
it is easy to monitor the temperature conversion value.
