Structural Characteristics:

  • Full-height module design occupying one rear slot
  • External terminals connected via dedicated cables
  • Front panel status LEDs
  • 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
