1.0 INTRODUCTION
The products described in this manual are manufactured or
distributed by Reliance Electric Industrial Company.
The MultibusrĆcompatible RTD input module (M/N 61C544A) allows
you to connect 16 RTD input signals to AutoMater, AutoMaxr, and
DCS 5000 systems.
Resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) are accurate temperature
measurement devices which monitor temperature changes. The RTD
module takes the RTD signals and converts them into equivalent
temperature (Fahrenheit or Celsius) values. The module can be used
in both local and remote racks. An external power supply is not
required.
The module provides 16 channels of RTD data at 0.1
o C or 0.1 o F
resolution. RTD calibration is automatic. Parameters such as alarm
limits and number of samples are userĆconfigurable. Default
configuration values are provided at powerĆup.
Designed to provide the most resolution and accuracy when used
with 4Ćwire RTDs, the module is also compatible with 2Ć and 3Ćwire
RTDs.
This manual describes the functions and specifications of the RTD
module M/N 61C544A and earlier. The information in this manual is
applicable to all versions of the module unless noted otherwise. This
manual also includes installation and troubleshooting procedures, as
well as configuration and programming information.
