Pt100Ω Input Functional Block
Four input channels 0 through 3 of Pt100Ω resistance thermometers correspond to output variables nvoPT[0] through
nvoPT[3], respectively. When detecting any change in measured temperature, this functional block sends a corresponding
output network variable to the network.
Initial Status Transmission
This functional block sends output network variables to the network within 3 seconds after powerup. The delay depends on
a random number based on the Neuron ID, and differs on each node.
The sending time can be delayed by changing the nciPwrup value designated in the Node Object functional block. At sys-
tem startup, if the SX5L sends output network variables before the addressee device is ready to receive communication, set
the nciPwrup to a larger value.
The preset value for nciPwrup can be between 0 and 60 seconds (0.1-sec increments). The sending time is determined by
the sum of the nciPwrup value and a random number.
Event-driven Transmission
When receiving a request (polling) from the network or when detecting a change larger than the value designated by
nciMinDelta[0] through nciMinDelta[3], this functional block sends a corresponding output network variable.
The resistance value of the Pt100Ω resistance thermometer connected to channel 0 is converted to a value between 0 and
+50°C (SX5L-SBPT04X1) or between –20 and +80°C (SX5L-SBPT04Y1), and the resultant output network variable
nvoPT[0] is sent to the network. Channels 1 through 3 work similarly with nvoPT[1] through nvoPT[3].
