1. Mounting instruction

Before the installation must be ensure that the PLC host and BD associated equipment power off.
Please install the BD module in the corresponding position of the PLC, and lock the four standard
screws. If environmental dust is bigger, please cover BD right part by PLC’s cover. Please do not
power operation.

Caution
1) This BD module only support the following firmware versions or later. Users can check the PLC
firmware version in D8001.
 LX3VP:25106;
 LX3VE: 25205;
 LX3V-A2:25016;
 LX3V-A1: 22008;
 LX2V-A: 24007；
 LX3VM: 25302
 LX2E: 25015
When mounting module to PLC, PWR turn off and other lights are blinking after power ON PLC
please purchase new PLC.
2) Please fixed BD module on the PLC, poor contact may lead to failure.
3) BD module and top cover of PLC’s tightening torque is 0.3 ~ 0.6 N.m.

Warning
Make sure to power off the PLC before mounting or removing the BD module and put the cover in
right place.

2. Special feature

1) It adds two analog inputs (if access two BD modules can be increased 4 analog inputs). The
module is mounted on top of PLC, so there is no need to change the PLC installation area.
2) Digital to analog conversion is performed by PT100 in LX3V-2PTS-BD, the suggestion
temperature range is -190 oC~ 600 oC and the converted digital value is stored in a special
registers. However, the characteristics of the analog to digital converter cannot be adjusted. The
soft elements corresponding to the different expansion ports are also different. Address

3) CH1: On indicates enable, flicker indicates exceeding the measurement range (-190 oC~ 600 oC).
4) CH2: On indicates enable, flicker indicates exceeding the measurement range (-190 oC~ 600 oC).

Note:
1) If the BD module is plugged into the PLC with old firmware version, all LEDs besides PWR in BD
module will be flicker.
2) The recommended range is -190 ° C ~ 600 ° C, the maximum display range is -200 ° C ~ 610 ° C

5. Wiring

Explanation:
1) 2-wire PT100: when using channel 1, short-circuit L1+ and V1+, connect PT100’s 2 wires to L1+
and VI- respectively. The same wiring in channel 2.
2) 3-wire PT100: when using channel 1, two same color wires, connected to the L1+ and V1+, the
third one connect to VI-. The same wiring for channel 2.

Warning:
Make sure cut off the electricity before installation/disassembly, to prevent electric shock or
product damages.

Caution:
1) Stay away from high-voltage cables to avoid interference or surge;
2) Grounding is required, but please do not share the ground site with high-voltage cable;
3) Do not weld any cable ends, and make ensure that the number of connecting cables, no more
than a predetermined number;

6. Examples

The value of each channel’s PT100 is storage in the registers (D8112, D8113) in the form of digital.
For output, in each "END" instruction, M8114 and M8115 convert the digital value into an analog

output.

6.1 Basic Program Examples

Caution
1) LX3V-2PTS-BD only supports PT100;
2) Don’t try to change the value in D8112 or D8113, when finished the A/D conversion;

The following project sets CH1 and CH2 as PT100 input mode, and the value is storage in D0 and D2.

Set CH1 as PT100 input mode

Set CH1 as PT100 input mode
Set the digital value of D0 into analog value
Set the digital value of D2 into analog value

6.2. Examples of Applications

Since the LX3V-2PTS-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
1) Since the use of additional programming orders, the converted precision and resolution of the
analog value are different with the specifications.
2) The original range of the analog output does not change.

PT100 input mode

In RTD input mode, 2PTS coverts analog value to digital value in degrees Celsius. If in the program
was a degree 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 ℃
D10=D8112*9
D12=D10/5
D0=D12+320

D8113 but in the address corresponding to the CPAVL instruction.

Note:
1) This new function only available in 200 and advanced firmware version of BD module;
2) The DB module contains DAI/DAV, if users use non-latched word addresses (D0~D199) for it, the
digital output will be 0 when PLC in STOP mode;
3) If users use non-latched bit addresses (M0~M499), all bit addresses will be reset when PLC in
STOP mode;
