Data conversion equations for TC2 and RTD2 plug-in modules

FactoryTalk Design Workbench
interprets the temperature data word as an unsigned integer. Use the following equations to convert the raw input data into temperature data for RTD2 and TC2 plug-in modules.
Converting temperature to data
  • Data = (Temperature + 270.0) x 10
Examples of mapping Celsius temperature to temperature data.
  • –270 °C -> (–270.0 +270.0) x 10 -> 0
  • +1000 °C -> (+1000.0 + 270.0) x 10 -> 12700
Converting data to temperature
  • Temperature (°C) = (Data – 2700)/10
Examples of mapping temperature data to Celsius temperature.
  • 1234 -> (1234 – 2700)/10 -> –146.6 °C
  • 8000 -> (8000 – 2700)/10 -> 530.0 °C
