Working Principle: The module operates by applying a constant current source to the sensor and measuring the resulting voltage drop. The resistance value is calculated using Ohm’s Law, then converted to temperature through the Callendar-Van Dusen equation for platinum RTDs or similar mathematical models for other sensor types. The 16-bit ADC converts the analog signal to digital data, which is then transmitted to the PLC processor via the backplane communication bus.

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount in standard Series 90-30 5-slot or 10-slot rack
  • Requires +5V DC power from the PLC backplane
  • Use shielded twisted pair cables for RTD connections to minimize electromagnetic interference
  • Maintain proper grounding practices with single-point ground reference
  • Allow adequate ventilation clearance around the module

Usage Precautions:

  • Ensure wiring polarity is correct for three-wire and four-wire configurations
  • Do not exceed the isolation voltage ratings during installation
  • Verify RTD type configuration matches the connected sensor to prevent measurement errors
  • Perform calibration verification annually or after severe electrical disturbances
  • Handle the module with proper electrostatic discharge protection
