JoshPSU Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 I am having issues setting up linerization for thermocouples, I currently have MI0 set to my thermocouple input which is into MI3 which I have displayed on my HMI. My number changes when I apply heat but its not even close to right. Im hoping someone could help me with the setup of my linerization and how to convert the mV into degress Fahrenheit on my HMI display screen. I would like the max temperature displayed to be 600 degrees. Attached are what I currently have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Ausman Posted December 2, 2018 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hi Josh, you don't need linearization. Thermocouples read directly. You set up the parameters in the View/Hardware Config of the relevant input. You need to know what type of couple you are using for it to read correctly. When in the relevant analog input area, click on Type and you'll get a drop down list. You also choose C or F in Mode. cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPSU Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 So would I just put an numerical box on my HMI linked to MI0? And that will read directly to Degrees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2023 Ausman Posted December 2, 2018 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Yes, but you need to do it to one decimal place. Have a look in the Help files and do a search for Analog I/O Ranges and you'll see a list of ranges etc. cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
