11... APPENDIX A: MASTER ICON FILE REFERENCE
Port (1 to 6) and Channel (A to H) where the actual Interface Module channel is installed will be used for the name.
Output Name: Specify a name for the Output signal from this icon. This Output Name will be referenced by other icons downstream in the Program Net.
Input Type: Specifies the wiring configuration to be used.
3 and
If 3 or
Range: Specify the input range to be used for this channel. For optimum resolution, choose the narrowest range that will meet the signal fluctuation without exceeding the Full Scale Range. If the input exceeds the selected range, an
Input Res: Specify the RTD 0’C resistance value. Both 100 and 1000 ohm devices are supported.
Curve (alpha): Specify the alpha coefficient for your type of RTD. This coefficient is used in the conversion equation of resistance to temperature. If unknown, contact the RTD supplier for input. European (most common) = 0.00385 and American = 0.00392.
Units: Select Degrees C or F
Filtering: First order noise filtering can be enabled during channel reading. First order filtering reduces high frequency noise that may be picked up by sensor wiring with the cost that it slows down the rate at which a channel can be sampled. See the
AC Noise Reject: Enables software filtering of 50Hz or 60Hz noise on inputs. See the
Change: Click on CHANGE to switch the icon / dialog box between thermistor, resistance, or RTD type input.
