DIP switch settings 
Use the DIP switches at the front side to set the thermocouple type, the temperature unit (°C, °F) 
and the number of input channels. 
 
  The DIP switch settings are read once at switching the CPU power to 
ON. Changes of the DIP switches are not recognized until the next 
reset of the CPU (power OFF ON).

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.
