A8.3 Heat Trace Monitoring
The EJX with Heat trace monitoring function
calculates the flange temperature by using the two
temperature sensors built in the EJX. An analog
alert is generated if the temperature reached to the
preset level.
The flange temperature is based on the following
parameters and calculation formula.

× (CT - AT)
The FLG_TEMP_VAL (FT) is assigned to Process
Value (PV) in the AI function block. If the flange
temperature exceeds the value preset to the
HI_LIM, LO_LIM, HI_HI_LIM, or LO_LO_LIM in the
AI function block, an analog alert is generated.
NOTE
The flange temperature is calculated by the
calculation formula assumed that the capsule
part of EJX is heated up or kept warm by an
electrical heater or steam. In the case of an
atmosphere temperature or less, the difference
of temperature of approximately 3 to 4°C
may occur because the amplifier temperature
becomes higher than the capsule temperature.
