2080-TC2 plug-in module

2080-TC2 is a 2-channel thermocouple input that extends the inputs for the controller. After adding a 2080-TC2 plug-in module:
  • Five global variables are added to the controller project.
  • In
    Project Organizer
    , under
    Plug-in
    , a
    2080-TC2
     node is created.
  • The 2080-TC2 configuration page contains the following nodes. Select a node to view and configure the corresponding settings.
    • Overview
      : Displays the device image, catalog number, revision, product type, and slot number. Selecting
      Device definition
       opens the
      Device definition
       dialog to change the slot and revision, and to configure whether to fault the controller when the plug-in module is absent.
    • Variable
      : Lists the added variables with their variable names and data types.
    • Channel <x>
      : Configures the settings on channel
      <x>
      , where
      x
       represents channels from 0 through 1.
