Modules are typically calibrated at 25

o

C.

If the I/O chassis in which the 1771-IXE is operating is at
25

o

C, column A represents the maximum error for that

thermocouple type.

If the chassis operating temperature is less than or greater than
25

o

C, use the formula below to calculate the maximum error.

Maximum Error = Col-A + (

T x Col-B)

Where: Col-A = the value from column A

T = the I/O chassis operating temperature minus 25

o

C

Col-B = the value from column B

For Example:

If the I/O chassis is operating at 60

o

C, and a Type J Thermocouple is being used, then:

Maximum Error = Column A + (

T x Column B)

= 0.78+ [(60 - 25) x 0.0423]

= 0.78 + (35 x 0.0423)

= 0.78 + 1.4805

= 2.2605

Allowable Distances

The open thermocouple detection circuit injects a current of
approximately 7.3 nanoamps into the thermocouple cable. A total
lead resistance of 1370 ohms (685 ohms one–way) cable resistance
will produce +1 count (10uV) of error.
