Structural Characteristics Standard Ovation I/O card dimension. Rear gold plated edge connector inserts into rack backplane. Front panel fitted with extraction handle and LED indicator window. PCB layout separates analog RTD measurement circuit and digital communication circuit to reduce electromagnetic interference. Independent signal conditioning circuit for each channel.

Working Principle The module outputs constant excitation current to the connected RTD sensor. The resistance change of RTD caused by temperature variation changes the voltage drop. Signal conditioning circuit filters noise and amplifies weak signal. A/D chip converts analog signal into digital value. The module calculates temperature value based on RTD standard curve and transmits temperature data to Ovation controller via backplane bus. The module continuously monitors channel resistance and reports fault signal when wire break or short circuit is detected.

Installation Requirements

  1. Insert VE4003S2B6 into rack guide slot, push fully and lock front handle.
  2. Use shielded twisted pair cable for RTD sensor wiring. Separate signal cable from high voltage power cable.
  3. Configure sensor type and wiring mode for each channel in Ovation engineering workstation.
  4. Complete loop calibration and point test before putting module online.
  5. Cabinet protective ground must be reliable, grounding resistance less than 4 ohms.
  6. Maintain good cabinet ventilation to avoid overheating.

Usage Precautions

  1. Do not connect high voltage signal to RTD input terminals. Overvoltage damages channel circuit.
  2. Select 4-wire wiring for high precision temperature measurement to eliminate cable resistance error.
  3. Hot swap must follow Ovation official maintenance procedure.
  4. Do not touch gold plated connector pins to avoid contamination.
  5. No field repairable parts. Replace whole module upon failure.
  6. Prevent metal scraps falling into rack slot during installation.
