Technical Specifications

Note: The catalog confirms that there is a PID function supporting 8 types of thermocouples, including specifying resolution, accuracy, response time, and power supply details; however, it does not clearly specify the number of PID control loops, output type, or PID tuning method.

PID Temperature Control Function (PID Temperature Control)

The EXPLX3V-4LTC PLC has a PID function for use in automatic temperature control systems. The principle of PID takes the difference between the measured temperature and the target value to calculate and determine process control.

PID consists of Proportional, Integral, and Derivative components which are used to adjust the system's response characteristics as appropriate.

Details for setting up PID and connecting end devices must be checked from the manufacturer’s manual since the catalog does not fully specify the type of PID Output or tuning methods.

The selection of thermocouples must consider the sensor type, measurement range, probe structure, and environmental conditions together. The supported range must be verified from the module's datasheet and actual sensor specifications.

SUPPORTS THERMOCOUPLE TYPE K

EXPLX3V-4LTC supports Thermocouple Type K with a catalog measurement range of -100 to +1200°C or -148 to +2192°F.

This can be considered for use in processes requiring high temperature measurements, where the sensor and materials must have appropriate ratings for the actual process.

SUPPORTS THERMOCOUPLE TYPE J

The module supports Thermocouple Type J with a catalog measurement range of -100 to +600°C or -148 to +1112°F.

It is necessary to check the thermocouple type settings to match the installed sensor for accurate temperature readings.

Input Response Time 240 ms / 4 Channels

The catalog specifies a signal input response time of 240 ms for 4 channels to be used in assessing the module's responsiveness within a temperature control system.

This response time does not represent the overall PID system response time, as it also depends on processing, control settings, and the characteristics of the heating or cooling process involved.

12-bit Resolution

The EXPLX3V-4LTC has a 12-bit signal reading resolution according to the catalog data for converting temperature data from sensors for use in PLC system processing.

A 12-bit resolution does not directly indicate measurement accuracy, as actual measurement results depend on module characteristics, sensor properties, and installation conditions.

Accuracy ±0.5% Full Scale

The module has an accuracy of ±0.5% Full Scale according to the catalog data, which is information for assessing measurement errors in a temperature control system.

For high-precision work, sensor error, wiring effects, environmental temperatures, and calibration should also be evaluated.

Power Supply 24 VDC ±10%

The EXPLX3V-4LTC uses a module power supply of 24 VDC ±10% with an operating current of 55 mA according to the catalog data.

The design of the power supply should account for electrical requirements of other devices in the PLC system and verify power connection methods as per manufacturer guidelines.

Compatibility with PLC Systems

The EXPLX3V-4LTC is a Temperature Control module compatible with PLC systems, requiring verification of compatibility with the main CPU and Expansion Module specifications before installation.

Configuration settings for Thermocouple types, PID setup, and control signal management should be checked according to manufacturer guidelines.
