The overflow, underflow and low voltage diagnostic alarm information will be reported in the analog data values even if
1
the alarms are disabled in the module configuration.
When wire break alarm is disabled and an open wire condition exists in the sensor wiring, the module may report ran-
2
dom values.
The module performs wire break testing every 6 seconds, which extends the update time by 9 ms for each enable
3
channel once every 6 seconds.
The SM 1231 Thermocouple (TC) analog signal module measures the value of voltage
connected to the module inputs. The temperature measurement type can be either
"Thermocouple" or "Voltage".
● "Thermocouple": The value will be reported in degrees multiplied by ten (for example, 25.3
degrees will be reported as decimal 253).
● "Voltage": The nominal range full scale value will be decimal 27648.
