The AD268 performs the following operations.

The external analog signals come to the buffer amplifier through the filter. The multiplexer
sequentially selects CH1 to CH8 to convert the input analog signals into digital data via the A/D
converter. The converted digital data reaches to the internal control circuit through optical
isolator. Every time when the T2 CPU requests to read the converted data, the internal control
circuit sends the data to the T2 CPU. The AD268's parameters are stored in the EEPROM.

4.3 Wiring precautions

(1) Use shielded twisted-pair cables for analog input signal lines and wire them in shortest
distance. Connect the cable shield to ground in shortest distance for EMC conformity.
Normally the grounding method (a) is recommended. However, depending on the condition,
method (b) or (c) may be useful for stable operation.

(2) Separate the analog signal cable from other cables to prevent noise interference. (200mm
or more)
(3) This module requires 24Vdc power. Apply the 24Vdc power before (or at the same time)
applying T2’s main power. Otherwise, this module detects the external 24Vdc error.
(4) If the external 24Vdc power for this module is not stable, the converted data will not be
stable. In this case, use a dedicated 24Vdc power supply for this module.
(5) It is recommended to short the unused channels. Because if it is open for voltage input,
meaningless A/D conversion data will appear.
(6) If the converted data is not stable owing to electrical noise, it is recommended to use the
input averaging function to reduce the noise interference. For the averaging function, refer
to section 6.
PART 1 AD268 5. I/O Allocation and Programming
5. I/O Allocation and Programming

5.3 Programming
To read the A/D conversion data, there is no need to use special instruction. The A/D
conversion data are automatically stored in the assigned input registers (XW registers).
For example, when the AD268 is allocated to XW000 to XW007, the A/D conversion data of
each channel is stored as follows.
XW000 : Channel 1 A/D conversion data
Therefore, in the user program, you can use these XW registers directly for the analog data
processing.
The program shown below is an example of simple comparison with the channel 1 analog data.
(±10V setting)
Line 1: When XW000 is greater than 25600 (channel 1 analog input is more than 8V), R0100
is set to ON.
Line 2: When XW000 is in the range of -9600 to 9600 (channel 1 analog input is in the range
of -3V to 3V), R0101 is set to ON.
Line 3: When XW000 is less than -16000 (channel 1 analog input is less than -5V), R0102 is
set to ON.

(Gain: H8000 to H8007, Offset: H8008 to H800F)
At the factory shipment, the AD268 is calibrated for each input range. Therefore, there is no
need for user to calibrate normally.
However, depending on the usage condition, field adjustments are required. For this purpose,
the AD268 has the gain and offset calibration function.
In the AD268, the A/D conversion data is calculated as follows.
Analog input A/D Offset Gain A/D conversion data

conversion processing processing (read by T2 CPU)
When the gain calibration value is G and the offset calibration value is O, the conversion
calculation is performed in the AD268 as follows.
X2 = (X1 + O) × G / FS
X1: Initial A/D conversion value

X2: Gain/offset processed value
O: Offset calibration value (buffer memory address H8008 to H800F)
G: Gain calibration value (buffer memory address H8000 to H8007)
FS: Full scale value

Averaging times:
(H8010 to H8017)
This parameter is for the averaging processing for the analog input data. The moving average
is calculated by the given averaging times parameter.
For example, if the averaging times parameter is 10, the average value of latest 10 times
conversion is output as the A/D conversion data.
This function is effective to reduce the fluctuation caused by noise.
The available setting range is as follows.

The DA264 performs the following operations.

The digital data for D/A conversion generated by the T2 program are written into the DA264.
The written digital data are transferred to the D/A converter through optical isolator. Then the
D/A converter converts the digital values to the analog signals.
The generated analog signals are output to each channel (CH1 to CH4) via amplifier. Each
channel has both the voltage output and the current output. However either voltage or current
output can be used.

3. Output Type Setting PART 2 DA264
3. Output Type Setting

The DA264 supports multiple output ranges, ±5V, ±10V, 0 to 5V, 0 to 10V, 1 to 5V, 0 to 20mA,
or 4 to 20mA. The output range is selected by writing the parameter into the DA264 by the T2
program. The voltage or current output is selected by the DA264’s output terminals.
The general flow for setting the output type is as follows.

(1) Mount the DA264 onto the T2 rack.
(4) Program the "output type setting program". (see below)

The output range of the DA264 is specified by writing the following parameter data into the
DA264's buffer memory. To write the parameter into the buffer memory, T2 user program
(WRITE instruction) is used.
These parameter data are not maintained in the DA264. Therefore, program the output type
setting routine and execute it at each time of the beginning of the operation.

5.2 D/A conversion data

To output the desired analog signals from the DA264, simply write the appropriate data into the
assigned I/O registers YW(n) to YW(n+3) for the DA264.
The data of YW(n) to YW(n+3) are transferred to the DA264 at the T2’s batch I/O processing.
Then in the DA264, these D/A conversion data are converted into the analog signals and
output from the DA264.
The I/O register assignment is as follows.
YW(n) ........ D/A conversion data for channel 1
YW(n+1) .... D/A conversion data for channel 2
The conversion data to be written into the YW register is dependent on the output type as
follows.

5.3 Programming
To output the desired analog signal from the DA264, there is no need to use any special
instruction. When the D/A conversion data is written in the assigned output register (YW
register), it is transferred to the DA264 and converted to the corresponding analog signal.
For example, when the DA264 is allocated to YW000 to YW003, the D/A conversion data of
each channel is assigned as follows.
YW000 : Channel 1 D/A conversion data
Therefore, in the user program, you can use any instructions to write data in these YW
registers for the analog data processing.
The program shown below is an example of simple increasing/decreasing of the channel 1

analog data. (±10V setting)
Rung 1: During R1000 is ON, YW000 data is increased by 32 (channel 1 analog output is
increased by 0.01V) every scan. It is upper-limited by 32000 (10V).
Rung 2: During R1001 is ON, YW000 data is decreased by 32 (channel 1 analog output is
decreased by 0.01V) every scan. It is lower-limited by -32000 (-10V).
PART 2 DA264 6. Parameters
6. Parameters
The DA264 has the memory that stores the control parameters, output type designation,
module status information, etc. This memory is called the buffer memory. To access
(read/write) this memory from the T2 program, READ and WRITE instructions are used.
These parameter data are not maintained in the DA264. Therefore, you should write the
necessary parameter data at each time of the beginning of the operation.

The TC218 performs the following operations.

The external analog signals come to the buffer amplifier through the filter. The multiplexer
sequentially selects CH1 to CH8 to convert the input analog signals into digital data via the A/D
converter. The converted digital data reaches to the internal control circuit through optical
isolator. Every time when the T2 CPU requests to read the converted data, the internal control
circuit sends the data to the T2 CPU. The TC218's parameters are stored in the EEPROM.
User’s Manual 63
3. Input Type Setting PART 3 TC218
3. Input Type Setting

The TC218 supports multiple input types, type K, type J, type E, or ±100mV. The input type is
selected by jumper plug setting and the parameter writing by the T2 program.
Note that the input type can be selected either one, type K, type J, type E, or ±100mV, for all
channels. Any mixture settings among the channels are not allowed.
The general flow for setting the input type is as follows.

(1) Set the jumper plugs to select thermocouple input or mV input.
(2) Mount the TC218 onto the T2 rack.
(5) Program the "input type setting program". (see the next page)
(7) Cycle power off/on
3.1 Jumper plug setting

8 jumper plugs are provided on the TC218 board.
The jumper plug setting is for selecting either thermocouple input or mV input.
Jumper plugs (JP1 to JP8)
Set all the jumper plugs either side 1 or 3.

Side 1: Thermocouple input
Side 3: ±100mV input
The factory setting is ±100mV input (side 3).
• Use a pair of tweezers to set the jumper plug.

• Pay attention not to touch the components on the
board other than the jumper plug.
PART 3 TC218 3. Input Type Setting

The input type of the TC218 is specified by writing the following parameter data into the
TC218's buffer memory. To access the buffer memory, T2 user program (READ and WRITE
instructions) is required.
When the parameter is set to the TC218, it is saved in the TC218's built-in EEPROM.
Therefore, once the input type parameter is set, there is no need to execute the input type
setting operation.

5.3 Programming
To read the A/D conversion data, there is no need to use special instruction. The A/D
conversion data are automatically stored in the assigned input registers (XW registers).
For example, when the TC218 is allocated to XW000 to XW007, the A/D conversion data of
each channel is stored as follows.
Therefore, in the user program, you can use these XW registers directly for the analog data
processing.
The program shown below is an example of simple comparison with the channel 2 input data.
(Thermocouple type K setting)
By the above program, the ON/OFF status of the internal relays R0200 to R0203 are changed
as follows.

7.1 RAS information
The RUN LED is provided on the front of the TC218. When the TC218 is operating normally,
this LED is lit.
Also the module status information is provided in the TC218‘s buffer memory (addresses
H8030 to H8037). This information is useful for troubleshooting.
Module status:
(H8030 to H8037)
These data show the TC218’s operation status.
