1 Unit Outlines1.1 Functions1. Thermocouple input unit for FP0/FPΣ Control UnitThe temperature data obtained using the thermocouple is converted to the digital value to be read into theFP0/ FPΣ Control Unit.2. Thermocouple types K, J, T and R are available.3. 3 temperature measurement ranges are available.-100.0 to +500.0 (Thermocouple types: K and J)-100.0 to +400.0 (Thermocouple type : T)0.0 to +1500.0 (Thermocouple type : R)4. The data can be converted to the degree Celsius or the degree Fahrenheit.The temperature data measured using the sensor is converted to the degree Celsius or the degreeFahrenheit inside the Thermocouple Unit.5. The averaging function is installed.The converted data (degree Celsius or Fahrenheit) is averaged, so that even unstable input signals canbe properly read.6. The broken-thermocouple detector is attached.A thermocouple, broken, can be detected.1.2 Model- Thermocouple UnitPart number Thermocoupleinput points Product numberFP0-TC4 4 points AFP0420FP0-TC8 8 points AFP04211.3 Unit Connection Limit- Number limitUp to 3 expansion units can be connected with the Control Unit.- Position limitInstall the thermocouple unit on the right side of other expansion unit. If it is installed on the left side, thetotalprecision will deteriorate.Reference: “7.1 I/O No.”.1
