Connecting Pt-100 To The Multiplexer; Control; Enable - Omega DRA-RTM-8 User Manual

7. CONNECTING Pt-100 TO THE MULTIPLEXER

The Pt-100 probe should be connected according to fig 4. The
three wires connecting the probe should be identical.
The distance of the probe can be up to 200 meters.
A shielded cable is recommended.
The shield should be grounded at one point. When possible,
connect the ground at the multiplexer's end.
8. CONNECTING THE DRA-RTM-8 TO A PLC
The multiplexer output should be connected to 4-20mA input of the PLC analog
module (see fig 5).
The DRA-RTM-8 multiplexer generates the output current, therefore the PLC analog
module should be configured for four wire transmitter connection.
WARNING: NEVER apply 24Vdc to the DRA-RTM-8's +Io terminal

9. CONTROL

The DRA-RTM-8 unit is controlled via four
address lines and one E (Enable) line.
The control terminals (Address and
Enable), were designed to receive control
signals from TTL levels up to 60V so that
almost any PLC's DC output module can
be used. (see fig 5)

9.1 ENABLE

The unit is enabled when a logical "1" (5V < E < 60V) is connected to the E
Terminal. In a disabled state, the DRA-RTM-8 outputs no current and reflects a
Hi-Z state. This feature allows the connection of several DRA-RTM-8 units by tying
their outputs and control in parallel and addressing them by controlling the
individual Enable terminals.

as in two-wire connection, and make sure that the PLC's
analog module is configured as a passive input.
