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.
