FP-TC-120 : Channel 0 gives bad readings after reaching 100F

I am using a FP-1001 module to communicate with 5 FP-TC-120 modules. The problem I have is that channel 0 on the first three FP-TC-120 modules goes out of range at 100F. All of the other channels are working fine.
I have checked the configuration settings in MAX and channel 0 is set up the same as the rest. I also checked the readings using Tag Monitor and when the value is below 0F the quality column says "good" but as soon as it reaches 100F it says "limit exceeded".
I have tried swapping FP-TC-120 modules as well as the FP-TB-3 bases with no luck. The firmware is up to date, Rev. 0030. There are no other modules connected to the FP-1001.
Any ideas?

What type of thermocouples are you using? How are they mounted? The [c]FP-TC-120 modules are not designed for a large amount of channel to channel common mode voltage. If several channels are biased with more common mode voltage than the others, you may observe this type of behavior. One solution is to re-arrange the thermocouples so that thermocouples that are at the same potential are on the same module. Also, make sure that you do not wire the V & C terminals from one FP-TC-120 to the next.
Regards,
Aaron

  • FP-TC-120 ok at low temps but gives bad readings at 200 C

    I've been using the FP-TC-120 for years with no problems reading type-K thermocouples at 20 - 150 C temperatures or so.  Recently I wanted to read six (type-K) thermocouples in a furnace at 800 - 1200 C temperatures, but the unit gives me bad readings (in both LabView and in FieldPoint Explorer).  The six thermocouples are fine when I turn the furnace on, but about when the first thermocouple gets above about 250 C I start getting almost random values for all six, with occassionally the right values coming through.  If I disconnect all but one of the thermocouples, then I get a good, steady reading.  Some times it will work for two, but never for all six.  My firmware is "0030".  The FieldPoint unit and FP-1000 base are all at room temperature.
    Thanks for any help.

    My (firmware) revision is 30.  FieldPoint Explorer is version 3.0.2.
    Further tests today (using a heat gun) gave no problems with a pair of thermocouples at 380 C and several others at room temp.  I am now wondering whether my problem was due to radiative heating of the FieldPoint module(s), since the furnace exterior (at about 125 C) would be partially visible by them.  I've moved the modules to a sheltered location, added some fans, and plan to try again in a couple of days.  The behavior suggests that the multiplexing chip is not functioning properly; perhaps that is due to it overheating.
    Thanks for your interest.

  • Ch 3 on 6th mod of 1121s w/ 1321 FE gives bad readings if not scanned by itself

    I can scan channel 3 by itself or with channels from another 1121 module and recieve a good reading but trying to scan it with the other channels from the same 1121 module results in a bad reading. I do not have this problem with any of the other 1121 modules. There is an 1141 with a 1305 in slot 7 of the chassis.

    I know it has been a long time since the last post on this issue, but I wanted to give an update.
    It turns out that all 14 of the 1321 front ends I purchased had solid state relays from the same lot (4 per module.) All of these relays with lot 0027T1267 relays from Clare do NOT meet manufacturer's specs for temperature, and so can cause erratic problems. At a mere 96F, they change values and eventually completely change states. Since they aren't mechanical in nature, they don't hard switch on or off, but rather have inbetween values that can appear to be bad readings. See my other post on 1321's for more.

  • Bad readings from DAQCard-6036E after DAQmxSelfCal() call

    Hi,
    I have a very urgent problem that I would like investigating.
    I have a DAQCard-6036E and have noticed that, occassionally, after a call to DAQmxSelfCal(), the AI readings are incorrect.
    All channels in my application are configured in differential mode, and the readings returned are occassionally wrong by ~9mV on channels with gain of 1, and ~0.9mV on channels with a gain of 10.
    If I repeatedly call DAQmxSelfCal(), I seem to get the bad readings after about every 3rd call to DAQmxSelfCal() - then the next call will usually correct the calibration coeffns, and so on. I have not been able to establish an exact pattern to the problem, but have tried with the laptop on mains power, and internal batter
    ies and the problem is the same.
    Could there be a problem with the self calibration function in DAQmx, or could there be an external influence? When I call DAQmxSelfCal() my signals are connected to the card, but I assume the inputs get isolated from connected signals during the calibration routine.
    Thanks

    Hi Ed,
    I got a loan DAQCard-6036E from NI and tried that and had the same problems. I am suspicious that it is something to do with my laptop, maybe the battery monitoring circuitry or something. Assuming that there is nothing wrong with the DAQCard 6036 internal design, my theory is that if the laptop generates noise while the self-cal is in progress then this can affect the calibration coeffns that are generated. This might be a rubbish theory, but believe me, the effect is genuine.
    I would say proceed with caution, put the self cal in, but test it thoroughly by calling it repeatedly with a high precision voltage reference attached and check the returned values. Note that I only think this is an issue with DAQCards, I have not seen it with PCI cards, but then I have not tested these as much.
    By the way, doing a self cal once per day is more than enough. Once per hour is too much. There is an article somewhere on NI.com that talks about the recommended interval. Make sure the laptop has been on for at least 15 mins first.
    Let me know how you get on.
    Regards
    Jamie

    BADI LE_SHP_GOODSMOVEMENT is called when the post goods issue is performed.
    It handles a number of goods movements, so is_likp-lfart eq 'LF' will limit it down to goods movements for deliveries.

  • Bad sound after updating

    Bad sound after updating

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

    why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

    hi smalley3,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
    If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
    In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

  • CC app manager update  failed with error code 50 after reaching about 35%

    Trying to update the CC app manager. The update is always very slow  (I have ATT DSL, lowest level) and I usually terminate it after an hour or so. Today I let it run and it failed with error code 50 after reaching about 35%. Any ideas?

    Update to my original post. I read through some of the suggestions that I found in other threads for fixing this problem, and it appears that this has been an ongoing issue. Numerous fixes have been suggested, some very convoluted, difficult, and involved, including those that came from the customer support folks.  I passed on those as this should be something simple. How Adobe manages to let updating of their own software turn into an ongoing problem is beyond me and sort of defeats the purpose of subscribing. I then noticed that a simple fix had been suggested a few times, so I tried that.
    The user suggested fix that worked for me was:
    1) Restarted computer (Asus Windows 7 i3 machine for me) in Safe Mode with Networking. Logged into my separate Admin account just in case.
    2) Started the creative cloud desktop app.
    3) The app said it needed to be updated. I hit the update button.
    4) Update started and proceeded slowly as it had in many previous failed attempts (I have ATT DSL at the slowest level, but it is not dial-up). Within about 30 min, the update succeeded.
    5) Restarted computer in normal mode.
    6) The creative cloud desktop app now did not say it needs to be updated, and I can update my other apps normally. Have not updated LR or PS yet, but plan to try. If that fails, I may try doing it in the Safe Mode with Networking.
    So, that was relatively painless and much much simpler than many of the other suggestions I saw. Do not know if it will work for everyone, but I wanted to post the fix that worked for me. Thank you very much to the 2 or 3 users who had suggested this fix earlier (sorry, I did not write down your IDs, but the threads can be found by searching for creative cloud desktop update fail error code 50). Hope this saves some people a lot of time.

    Photo stream photos will be deleted once you reach 1,000 unless you import them into iPhoto. You can set your iPhoto preferences to import them automatically.

  • Render engine does not stop after reaching 100%

    It looks like to me that the render engine does not stop after reaching 100%. It does not affect the rendered file which is fine and complete
    -the Pause and Stop buttons are displayed but have no effect on pausing or stoping the render
    -when I want to quit SG, it locks up and have to Force Quit to get out of it.
    I really like the program though and hope you are going to fine tune the UI and make it look like After Effect and Premiere.
    I would encourage you to instaure round tripping between these two apps and SG.
    It would be nice to have curves as well.
    Thanks guys

  • Re - Submit the document after reaching Lifetime

    Hello Experts,
    i need to re-submit the document after reaches its lifetime, if the user needs that document again?
    this all are done inside Collaboration Room.
    In detail,
    I had created a Users called,
    1) Author (-Permission : R/W-)
    2) Employee (-Permission : Read-)
    Author creating one document and setting lifetime for that document, then the Employee can view the document depends on the LifeTime what Author specified, then the document will not show the Employee( Working till this ).
    but the Employee needs that document again, so he/she have to request for the document after the lifetime reaches.
    How can i acheive this?
    One More thing,
    Notification have to send to the Author once the document got Expired, how it is possible?
    Regards,
    Mythili

    Hi Mythili,
    by enabling the subscription service on the repository you can configure on folder level who should get notifications (Author Group) when documents in this folder expires.
    Unfortunately, this is all you can do within the standard KM functionality.
    In order to create notifications in advance that go to the owner / last editor or / last modifier of the document you need to do some implementation. You could for example create a custom KM report that should run daily and check the expiration date of the documents and send this custom made notifications.
    The specified item was not found. describes here another way of achieving this: document lifetime and resubmission
    Hope this helps,
    Robert
