Description
This function block reads the analog input data of the analog unit FP0-TC4 (four analog input
channels) or FP0-TC8 (eight analog input channels). The result is stored as 16-bit words in the
output variables iChannel0–iChannel3 for FP0-TC4 and iChannel0–iChannel7 for FP0-TC8. The
function block supports the thermo couple types K, J, T and R. Furthermore it supports averaging
and detects if the thermocouple is broken.
