Description

This block allows conversion to and from °C. A selection of curves for various junction types are available.

The following modes curves are available:

Junction Type Comments/Description ANSI Color Code
E Type 0°C to +800°C Continuous
J Type 0°C to +750°C Continuous
K Type 0°C to +1100°C Continuous
N Type −270°C to +1300°C Continuous
R Type 0°C to +1600°C Continuous N/A
S Type 0°C to +1600°C Continuous N/A
T Type −185°C to +300°C Continuous

Block Parameters

Parameter Field Values Comments/Description
Name Alpha-numeric text This parameter is a unique identifier which is used as a prefix for the probes and calibration tables created by the subsystem.
Conversion Drop-down list 'Thermocouple' mode converts mV to °C, and 'Cold Junction' mode converts °C to mV.
Thermocouple Type Drop-down list Selection of junction types supported by this conversion. Causes the lookup table data specific for the selected thermocouple type to be loaded into the underlying table lookup blocks.
Lookup Data Type Drop-down list Selects the underlying data type for the table interpolation.
Instrumentation Group Alpha-numeric text, single-quote enclosed Determines Folder name and hierarchy. Use "|" character between folder names to delineate subgroup structure.
