Understanding Configurable FLEX Ex Thermocouple/RTD/mV Input Module Features 2-3
Input Filter Cutoff
A series of eight available input filters – filters are hardware and
software – allow you to choose the best rolloff frequency for input
channels on your I/O module. When choosing a filter, remember that
time frequency rolloff may affect your input signal’s accuracy.
For example, in configuration word 0, if you choose the fastest time
frequency of 600Hz (hardware filter only), little noise is added, but the
slowest frequency of 0.2Hz will provide the most accurate process
noise filtering. See below to decide which input filter to use in your
application:
