1 WECON Technology Co., Ltd.
1.Installation Instructions
Before installation, it is necessary to ensure that the associated equipment of the PLC host and the
terminal of the BD module are reliably powered off.
This module comes with two standard terminals; please plug the terminals into the module
terminals after wiring. Confirm the installation of host, module and wiring are correct and then
power on.
Caution：
1) When using current output, make sure that the external load resistance is ≤500Ω. If the
external load resistance> 500Ω, the output current will be lower than normal;
2) To install the function expansion board firmly and fix it on the PLC, poor contact may cause
malfunction;
3) The fastening torque is 0.3-0.6N.m. Firmly screw down to prevent malfunctions;
4) The PLC main unit of the LX3V can only use one BD board. Don’t try to use two or more BD
boards (these BD boards will not work);
5) When mounting module to PLC, all the lights are blinking after power ON PLC, it means this PLC
can’t support it, please purchase new PLC.
Warnings：
Cut off the electricity before installation/disassembly of the unit or connection of wires onto the
unit, to prevent electric shock or product damage.
2.Features of LX3V-2TC2DAI-BD
1) It could use LX3V-2TC2DAI-BD to add 2 analog input points and 2 current output points. It is
internally installed in the top of PLC, thus it is not necessary to change the PLC’s installation
area.
2) The analog digital conversion of LX3V-2TC2DAI-BD module is thermocouple input (K or J type),
current output (4~20mA), and the data of all the channels after conversion are stored inside a
special digital memory, but the converted characteristics of the analog data cannot be adjusted.
The allocation of the relevant channel addresses is in the following table.

5.Wire Connection
Warning:
Make sure cut off the electricity before installation/disassembly, to prevent electric shock or
product damages.
Caution:
1) Please keep the signal cable from the high-voltage cable at lease 100mm.
2) The shielding wire cable shall be grounded. But their grounding point can be the same with
high-voltage lines.
3) Never connect cable with forbidden size.
4) Fix the cable, so that the stress does not act on the terminal board or the cable connection
area.
5) The screwing torque of the terminal is from 0.5 to 0.6N.m. Fasten tight to prevent malfunction.
6) Keep the redundant terminals empty.
5.1 Applicable Cables
Use AWG25-16 to connect the output equipment
The maximal screwing torque is from 0.5 to 0.6N.m
The use of different types of cables might cause poor contact between the terminals. It is better to
use pressed terminals.

5.2 Input and output mode
1) Thermocouple input mode
2) Current Output Mode
6.Example
The analog values of each channel are transfer to digital values and stored in D8112&D8113.
On the contrary process, digital value in each channel will be converted into analog value and
output in system address (D8114, D8115).
6.1 Basic Program Examples
Caution:

LX3V-2TC2DAI-BD
6 WECON Technology Co., Ltd.
M8112 and M8113 are used to analog to digital conversion for CH1 and CH2;
The TC part only supports K or J type thermocouple;
The DA part only supports current output;
When M8112-M8115 is ON, the channels will not work, all show “0”;
Don’t try to change the value in D8112 or D8113, when finished the A/D conversion;
1) Thermocouple input
Set CH1 and CH2 as thermocouple input mode, and stored value in D0 and D2.
2) DA conversion:
If the data are not stored into D0 or D2, then D8112, D8113 and D8114, D8115 can be
simultaneously used on setting values and other orders, such as timer/counter.
6.2 Application example
Since the LX3V-2TC2DAI-BD does not have offset and gain functions, if it needs for the values out of
the standard specifications, Additional programming orders will be needed to multiply or divide the
converted value.
Caution
Since the use of additional programming orders, the converted precision and resolution of the
analog value are different with the specifications.
The original range of the analog output does not change.
1) Thermocouple input mode
Set CH1 as K-type thermocouple input mode
Set CH1 as K-type thermocouple input mode
Set the digital value of D0 into analog value
Set the digital value of D2 into analog value
Set channel 1 as current output (4~20mA)
Set channel 2 as current output (4~20mA)
Save the value of D0 to channel 1
Save the value of D2 to channel 2

In Thermocouple input mode, LX3V-2TC2DAI-BD covert an analog value to a digital value in degrees
Celsius. If in the program is Fahrenheit as a unit it needs to be converted to Celsius value.
Fahrenheit and Celsius conversion formula, Fahrenheit = Celsius * 9/5 + 32, the unit is 0.1 ℃.
2) Current output mode
In current output mode, it changes the digital value (0-2000) to analog value (4-20mA). If the real
digital range is 0-A (A means any value), it must be converted to 0-2000, as the following program
shows, the final digital need to be saved in D8114.
Suppose user needs 0-A digital range.
