Status	SINT	Binary
Ch0Status Ch1Status Ch2Status Ch3Status Ch4Status Ch5Status	BOOL	Decimal	ChxStatus contain the general status bit for the channel. ChxStatus will be set (1) when the corresponding channel has: detected open circuit (ChxOpenWire is a 1) detected over-range (ChxOverRange is a 1) detected under-range (ChxUnderRange is a 1) Input Data Is Not Valid (User program will determine this condition by eliminating the presence of the above 3 conditions. This condition is due to an A/D initial conversion in progress, which is caused by a new configuration.)
CJ0Status CJ1Status	BOOL	Decimal	CJxStatus contain general status bits for CJC sensors. When set, these bits indicate an error associated with CJC sensor x. CJxOpenWire, CJxOverRange, and CJxUnderRange are logically ORed together to generate the associated general status bit. CJxOpenWire, CJ1OverRange, and under-range detect bit U6 are set (1) when an error condition is detected on CJC sensor 0. Open circuit detect CJxStatus
OpenWire	SINT	Binary
Ch0OpenWire Ch1OpenWire Ch2OpenWire Ch3OpenWire Ch4OpenWire Ch5OpenWire	BOOL	Decimal	ChxOpenWire indicates an open-circuit thermocouple.
CJ0OpenWire CJ1OpenWire	BOOL	Decimal	When a CJC sensor is detected as open - circuit on power-up, the module will use 25°C as the sensor’s temperature. When a CJC sensor is detected as going open-circuit during RUN mode, the module will use the previous reading for that sensor.
RangeFlag	INT	Binary
CJ1OverRange CJ1UnderRange CJ0OverRange CJ0UnderRange	BOOL	Decimal	The over-range error CJxOverRange or under-range error CJxUnderRange are set when a temperature measurement reaches the end of its normal operating range for a given CJC sensor type. They are cleared when the measurement returns to the normal operating range of that sensor type.
Ch5OverRange Ch5UnderRange Ch4OverRange Ch4UnderRange Ch3OverRange Ch3UnderRange Ch2OverRange Ch2UnderRange Ch1OverRange Ch1UnderRange Ch0OverRange Ch0UnderRange	BOOL	Decimal	The over-range error ChxOverRange or under-range error ChxUnderRange are set when a temperature measurement reaches the end of its normal operating range for a given thermocouple. They are cleared when the measurement returns to the normal operating range of that thermocouple.

Ch0OpenWire_5 Ch0OpenWire_6	BOOL	Decimal	The module will override the actual output data with the value specified here when it detects an open circuit. Upscale: Set output to full upper scale value Downscale: Set output to full lower scale value Last State: Set output to the last output value Zero: Set output to zero value

			Upscale	0			0
			Downscale	0			1
			Last State	1			0
			Zero	1			1
Ch0TempMode	BOOL	Decimal	The module supports two different temperature output ranges, degrees C and degrees F. Set ChxTempMode to 0 for degrees C. Set ChxTempMode to 1 for degrees F.
Ch0SensorType_8 Ch0SensorType_9 Ch0SensorType_10 Ch0SensorType_11	BOOL	Decimal	The module supports nine different thermocouple types, as well as +/- 50 mV and +/-100 mV inputs . Each channel can be configured for any input type.
			Input Type		ChxSensorType_11				ChxSensorType_10		ChxSensorType_9
			Type J Thermocouple Type K Thermocouple Type T Thermocouple Type E Thermocouple Type R Thermocouple Type S Thermocouple Type B Thermocouple Type N Thermocouple Type C Thermocouple +/-50 mV +/-100 mV		0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1				0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0		0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1
Ch0DataFormat_12 Ch0DataFormat_13 Ch0DataFormat_14	BOOL	Decimal	You can configure the channel to present data in any of the following formats: Raw/Proportional Data: The value presented to the controller is proportional to the selected input and scaled into the maximum data range allowed by the bit resolution of the A/D converter and filter selected. The full range for a type J thermocouple (-210 ° C to 760 ° C) input is –32767 to +32767. Engineering Units x 1: For thermocouple inputs, the module scales the input data to the actual temperature values for the selected thermocouple type. Temperatures will be expressed in 0.1 ° C units. For millivolt inputs, voltages will be expressed in 0.01 mV units. Engineering Units X 10: For thermocouple inputs, the module scales the input data to the actual temperature values for the selected thermocouple type. Temperatures will be expressed in 1 ° C units. For millivolt inputs, voltages will be expressed in 0.1 mV units. Scaled for PID: The value presented to the controller is a signed integer with zero representing the lower user range and 16383 representing the upper user range. Allen-Bradley controllers, such as the MicroLogix 1500, use this range in their PID equations. Percent Range. The input data is presented as a percent of the user range. For example, for a type J thermocouple, -210 ° C to 760 ° C equals 0% to 100%.

Ch0En	BOOL	Decimal	The module can enable or disable the channel. Setting ChxEn to 0 will disable the channel and will result in the channel output being set to zero. This will speed up the system response of the active channels. Setting ChxEn to 1 enables the channel forces the channel to be recalibrated before measuring input data.
