OVERVIEW
CHAPTER1 OVERVIEW
This user's manual provides the specifications, handling instructions, programming
procedures, and other information of the Q68RD3-G channel isolated RTD (Resistance
Temperature Detector) input module (hereinafter the "Q68RD3-G"), which is designed to
use with the MELSEC-Q series CPU module.
The Q68RD3-G is a RTD module (3-wire type) and converts temperature data [ ] input
from the Pt100 or JPt100 platinum RTDs (hereinafter the "Pt100" or "JPt100") or the Ni100
nickel RTD (hereinafter the "Ni100") to measured temperature values in 16-bit signed
binary data (stored as a value rounded off to one decimal place 10) or scaling values
(ratios (%)).
* For details on scaling values, refer to Section 3.4.15.
