Structural Characteristics Standard Ovation I/O card form factor. Rear gold plated edge connector plugs into rack backplane. Front panel has extraction handle and LED indicator window. PCB separates analog RTD measurement circuit and digital communication circuit to reduce electromagnetic interference. Each channel uses independent signal conditioning circuit.
Working Principle The module provides constant excitation current to RTD sensor. Temperature variation changes sensor resistance, resulting in voltage variation. Signal conditioning circuit filters noise and amplifies weak analog signal. A/D converter converts analog signal to digital value. The module calculates temperature according to RTD characteristic curve and uploads data to Ovation controller via backplane bus. The module continuously monitors channel resistance value and reports fault when wire break or short circuit occurs.
Installation Requirements
- Insert VE4003SGB1IRTD8 along rack guide rail, push fully and lock front handle.
- Use shielded twisted pair cable for RTD wiring. Separate signal cable from high voltage power cable.
- Configure sensor type and wiring mode in Ovation engineering workstation.
- Complete loop calibration and point test before online commissioning.
- Ensure cabinet protective grounding is reliable, grounding resistance less than 4 ohms.
- Keep cabinet ventilation path unobstructed.
Usage Precautions
- Do not connect high voltage signal to RTD input terminals. Overvoltage burns channel circuit.
- Use 4-wire wiring for high precision temperature measurement.
- Hot swap must follow Ovation official maintenance procedure.
- Do not touch gold plated connector pins by hand.
- No field repairable components. Replace entire module after failure.
- Prevent metal debris falling into rack slot during installation.
