1-1. Features and Functions

Thermocouple sensor

K type

J type

Thermocouple input unit

(AFP3420)

Analog input

(4 channels per unit)

•Thermocouple input unit for FP3/FP10S

This unit converts temperature data from a thermocouple sensor into digital values for processing by an FP3 or

FP10S CPU.

•Supports K and J type thermocouples

Temperature sensors which may be used are the K and J types.

•Automatic zero point correction

With the zero point correction sensor, the measured value of thermocouple sensor is automatically converted to

Celsius. Therefore, no complex calculation is required for handling data in an FP3 or FP10S.

•Four selections for temperature measurement range

The following selections are available for the measurement range:

-0°C to 200 °C/32 °F to 392 °F (with a K or J type)

-0°C to 400 °C/32 °F to 752 °F (with a K or J type)

-0°C to 600 °C/32 °F to 1,112 °F (with a K or J type)

-0°C to 1000 °C/32 °F to 1,832 °F (with a K type)

•Two data styles available

In addition to converting the temperature data in normalized 0 to 4000 form, the unit can also express the data in

digital Celsius data. (The Celsius data is expressed up to the 0.1 degree accuracy by multiplying 10 and the Celsius

value together.)

•Offset settings possible for Celsius data

An offset value can be set to correct the Celsius data when the data given differs from those of other measuring

instruments due to measurement error.

•Averaging function available for regular and Celsius data

The unit also has function for averaging normalized and Celsius data. This enables an FP3 or FP10S to handle

unstable data.

•Easy-to-use self-diagnostic functions

The unit can detect the disconnection or the broke of thermocouple sensor and temperature range abnormality.

•Shared memory based communication between an FP3/FP10S CPU and a thermocouple input unit

Data exchanges between the FP3/FP10S CPU and a thermocouple input unit can be performed using the shared

memory of the unit. By executing the F150 (READ)/P150 (PREAD) and F151 (WRT)/P151 (PWRT), CPU can

read various digital data, such as normalized, Celsius and their averaging data, its self-diagnostic condition etc. and

can write offset enable flags and offset values.

1-2. Limitations on Configurations

1. Limitations on Unit Installation Position

There are no limitations on the installation position when the thermocouple input unit is used on the basic system

(master backplane with a CPU), on the expansion system (expansion backplane) or on a MEWNET-F (remote I/O)

slave unit system.

Can be installed in any position. Can be installed in any position.

Basic system Expansion system

Can be used on a MEWNET-F (remote I/O) slave station.

MEWNET-F slave unit system

2. Limitations on Unit Current Consumption

There is limitation current consumption when configuring the FP3 and FP10S systems.

The 5 V power for unit operation is supplied from a power supply unit on the backplane and the total power

consumption of all installed units must be less than the power supply unit capacity.

The current consumption for thermocouple input unit is 500 mA at 5 V DC.

Be sure to verify that the capacity of the power supply unit of the backplane is sufficient for controlling units

installed.

AFP3634

2.4 A

The internal power supply (5 V) goes

to each unit via the backplane bus.

Note:

SFor details about the limitations on the current consumption, refer to “FP3/FP10S HARDWARE Technical

Manual.”

1-3. I/O Allocation and Slot Position

1. I/O Allocation

SI/O addresses for each unit can be allocated according to the type of units and its location in one of the following

two methods:

- Automatic I/O allocation

SI/O addresses are automatically allocated according to the type of units and its location each time power is supplied

to the system.

SWith this I/O allocation method, sixteen points (16SX) are occupied for each thermocouple input unit.

- Arbitrary I/O allocation

SI/O addresses can be freely allocated using the NPST-GR Software.

SEven with this I/O allocation method, sixteen points (16SX) must be allocated for each thermocouple input unit in

the same way as automatic I/O allocation.

Note:

SFor details about the automatic and arbitrary I/O allocation methods, refer to the “FP3/FP10S HARDWARE

Technical Manual.”

2. Slot Position

SFor programming for the thermocouple input unit control, the unit position (slot number) is required as:

R9010 F150 READ, K3, K0, K4, DT100

Slot number Transfer

destination

Read word number

Starting address for the

shared memory read

R10 P151 WRT, K3, DT200, K4, K61

Slot number

Set data storage location

Number of data written

Starting shared memory address

Program examples

Note:

SIf a thermocouple input unit is installed on a MEWNET-F (remote I/O) slave station, the F152 (RMRD)/P152

(PRMRD) and F153 (RMWT)/P153 (PRMWT) instructions are used specifying the slot position of the

MEWNET-F slave station.

For details about the instructions, refer to page 56, “6-2. Instructions for Accessing Shared Memory.”
