Working Principle: The HE693RTD660 employs a precision constant-current excitation method. Each channel sources a stable 1mA current through the connected RTD element. The resulting millivolt-level signal is amplified by a low-noise instrumentation amplifier, then converted to digital format by a sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter. The module firmware applies the appropriate resistance-to-temperature conversion polynomial, compensates for lead wire resistance in three-wire configurations, and transmits the scaled temperature value to the main PLC processor.

Installation Requirements:

  • Install in Series 90-30 rack with adequate power supply capacity
  • Use Belden 8761 or equivalent shielded twisted pair cable
  • Maximum cable length: 300 meters for Pt100 sensors
  • Maintain separation from high-voltage power cables (minimum 300mm)
  • Configure module address switches before installation

Usage Precautions:

  • Verify excitation current compatibility with self-heating sensitive applications
  • Allow thermal equilibrium after installation before calibration
  • Do not parallel multiple RTDs on a single channel without signal conditioning
  • Check for corrosion on terminal blocks during periodic maintenance
  • Replace module if accuracy degradation exceeds 0.2% of span
