New Eurotherm Type C Linearization Upload
The new Eurotherms we use don't have the Type C linearization curves on them by default. This means we need to use a external software (provided by Schneider--Eurotherm) whenever we want to install/reconfigure a new eurotherm onto the system
The software is called iTools and can be downloaded at https://www.eurotherm.com/products/temperature-controllers-us/software-us/eurotherm-itools/
Click on the downloads tab, scroll down to the software icon, and download Eurotherm iTools
This software may be on the Leybold computer, but its free and not CPU intense
Procedure
Plug in usb-to-d’sub connector to the comms port on the back of the Eurotherm box (this is the connector where the rainbow cable is typically plugged in)
There should be a labelled cable with the Leybold computer for this
Launch iTools Wizard-- may have to go through your directory where you installed iTools as it downloads several programs **This has only been tested on Windows
Connect to your device
Ensure that the eurotherm is NOT in config mode
To scan, select the option "connect via CPI clip or IR cable," it should pop up as a COMx, where x is the specific port number
When selected, it should prompt you to launch an iTools session, click Launch
From here, you're connected to the Eurotherm. Click on "Load" at the top of the screen
Navigate through your directory to locate the type C linearization file
\Program Files (x86)\Eurotherm\iTools\Linearizations\Thermocouple
Here you may have to select "All Files," we want an .mtb file, and the default is some other format
Click on "t024 - WRe(5pc)-WRe(26pc) - Hoskins type C.mtb" and load it
It will now automatically load it onto the eurotherm. After the thermocouple is loaded, the linearization curve you added will be in the custom thermocouple address on the Eurotherm. Check that the Eurotherm correctly took the file by going to the Config/IP/inPt menu. The type C thermocouple might show up a few different ways, like “t24C” or “t024” or “C tc”. Different versions of the iTools software might label it differently, so you might need to check that the option shown is actually type C. Worst case scenario is you call/Email tech support for help.
