Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the XM-361 Universal Temperature and
the XM-362 Isolated Thermocouple Temperature modules. It also discusses
the components of the modules.
Introducing the XM-361 and
XM-362 Modules The XM-361 Universal Temperature module and the XM-362 Isolated
Thermocouple Temperature module are members of the Allen-Bradley™
XM
®
Series, a family of DIN rail mounted condition monitoring and
protection modules that operate both in stand-alone applications or integrate
with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and control system networks.
The XM-361 and XM-362 modules are intelligent 6-channel temperature
monitors. The XM-361 module can be configured to measure either
Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) or Thermocouple (TC), or a mixture
of RTD or TC inputs. The XM-362 module provides 250V dc of
channel-to-channel isolation and is specifically designed to measure
temperature with Thermocouple inputs.
For applications where it is not possible to integrate XM data directly via
DeviceNet, the XM-361 and XM-362 provide separate 4-20mA outputs for
each channel. And for applications requiring relays, the modules support
connecting up to two XM-441 Expansion Relay modules, providing a total of
eight relays. The XM-361/362 can also collect trend data on an event such as a
relay actuation.
The modules can operate stand-alone, or they can be deployed on a standard
or dedicated DeviceNet network where they can provide real-time data and
status information to other XM modules, PLCs, distributed control systems
(DCS), and Condition Monitoring Systems.
The XM-361 and XM-362 can be configured remotely via the DeviceNet
network, or locally using a serial connection to a PC or laptop. Refer to
Chapter 3 for a list of the configuration parameters.
