Module
Configuration is divided into basic and advanced parameters.
Basic Setup Parameters
The basic parameters you need to set for the RTD module consist of:
• Temperature units – Use the Temperature Scale parameter to select a
predefined scale or a custom scale. Custom Scale allows you to enter the
scaling endpoint values. If using Ohms RTD Type, ignore this
parameter. Predefined Scales include: Celsius(C), Fahrenheit(F),
Kelvin(K), and Rankine(R).
Scaling Endpoints for Custom Scale (low & high):
• RTD type – Select the RTD type that the input uses. Valid types are
shown in the table.
• Copper RTD Offset – If using the copper RTD, this is the error of the
Copper RTD (10
Ω
Cu427) in Ohms. Enter a value between -250 and
250 in hundredths of Ohms (such as 361 = 3.61
Ω
). This value is added
to the input reading before linearization.
