Hi
I am working on an application that has a single PLC5 rack, the CPU is a one with controlnet connectivity. It connects to 5 nodes of flex I/O.
Some of the I/O modules are Temperature input modules, of which they are being used as Thermocouple inputs.
My problem is that 2 of these modules appear to have a zero error. ie One module is reading 60 DegF more than they should be and the other 30 DegF.
I notice in the manual that these modules may be calibrated, calibration is initiated by forcing a bit of a configuration word to 1.
My problem is i can't tell what configuration word apples to what module. Block Read and Write is not being used to configure these modules. I'm assuming they know what they are in life through the RS Networx scheduling procedure.
Can any one give me a tip of what to do to calibrate?
sincerely
Andrew
