1.2I/O Configuration and Main Functions
E5GN
1–5
The following introduces the main functions of the E5GN. For details on
each function and how to use the functions, see Chapter 3 onwards.
Ă• The following input sensors can be connected for temperature input:
Thermocouple : K, J, T, E, L, U, N, R, S, B
NonĆcontact temperature sensor ES1A
: K (10 to 70_C), K (60 to 120_C), K (115 to 165_C),
ĂĂK160 to 260_C
Platinum resistance thermometer
: JPt100, Pt100
Analog input : 0 to 50 mV
Ă• Control output is either relay or voltage output depending on the model
of E5GN.
Ă• Alarms are supported on the E5GNĆj1jj. Set the alarm type and
alarm value, or upperĆ and lowerĆlimit alarms.
Ă• If necessary, a more comprehensive alarm function can be achieved by
setting the standby sequence", alarm hysteresis" and close in alarm/
open in alarm" parameters.
Ă• Optimum PID constants can be set easily by AT (autoĆtuning) and ST
(selfĆtuning).
Ă• Communications according to *CompoWay/F are supported on the
E5GNĆj03j.
Communications are carried out over the RSĆ485 interface.
* CompoWay/F is a generalĆpurpose serial communicationsĆbased unified
communications procedure developed by OMRON. CompoWay/F uses
commands compliant with the wellĆestablished FINS, together with a uniĆ
fied frame format on OMRON programmable controllers to facilitate
communications between personal computers and components.
