- Modular design supporting field replacement
Working Principle: The module receives position signals from proximity probes, rotary position transducers, or DC LVDTs and transmits these signals through external terminals to the 3500/45 main module. The main module conditions, filters, and analyzes the signals, comparing measured values against user-programmable alarm setpoints to generate alarms when exceeded. The module simultaneously provides required excitation power for sensors.
Installation Requirements:
- Install in the rear slot corresponding to the 3500/45 main module
- External terminal blocks connect to the module via dedicated cables
- Sensor cables must use shielded cables with proper grounding
- Ensure terminal blocks are securely installed with reliable connections
- Channels 3 and 4 for DC LVDT have -10 VDC level shift
Use Precautions:
- This module must be used with the 3500/45 main module
- External terminal blocks and cables must be ordered separately
- Inspect external connection cables regularly for tightness
- In vibration environments, ensure cables are securely fastened
- Module replacement does not require disconnecting sensor wiring
