Use Module Alarms
POINT I/O modules are capable of generating the following alarms.
• Overrange
• Underrange
• Level (low-low, low, high, high-high)
• Cold-junction Compensation (CJC) Fault (1734-IT2 only)
• Open-wire Detection
Overrange Alarm (1734-IT2I, 1734-IR2, and 1734-IR2E modules)
The channel overrange alarm is set if the input is greater than the maximum
temperature (thermocouple or RTD range dependent), millivolt (+75 mV) or
resistance (600
Ω
) range value, or above the maximum range of the
thermocouple or RTD.
The cold junction compensator has its own overrange alarm. If the CJC
temperature goes above 70
⋅
C, the overrange alarm is set.
Underrange Alarm (1734-IT2I, 1734-IR2, and 1734-IR2E modules)
The channel underrange alarm is set if the input is less than the minimum
temperature (thermocouple or RTD range dependent), millivolt (-75 mV) or
resistance (10
Ω
) range value, or below the minimum range of the
thermocouple or RTD.
The cold junction compensator has its own underrange alarm. If the CJC
temperature goes below 0
⋅
C, the underrange alarm is set.
Level Alarms (1734-IT2I, 1734-IR2, and 1734-IR2E modules)
