Overview of the 1732E ArmorBlock
Thermocouple and RTD Input Modules
Overview This chapter provides an introduction to the features and functionalities of the
1732E ArmorBlock Thermocouple and RTD Input Modules. It includes the
following sections.
Module Features The 1732E-IT4IM12R and 1732E-IR4IM12R modules let you configure a
sensor type for each of four input channels that linearizes analog signal into a
temperature value. The RTD module, 1732E-IR4IM12R, linearizes ohms into
temperature and the Thermocouple module, 1732E-IT4IM12R, linearizes
millivolts into temperature.
The modules have the following features:
• Sensor type
• Preset temperature selection
• Fault mode
• Level alarms
• overrange and underrange detection
To learn more about module features, see Configurable Features for the
Thermocouple and RTD Input Modules on page 35 .
You must use RSLogix 5000 to configure these features. For a detailed how-to-
configure instructional guide, see the chapter,
