    SLC 500™ RTD/Resistance Input Module For More Information As part of our effort to preserve, protect, and improve our environment, Allen- Bradley is reducing the amount of paper we use. Less paper means more options for you. In addition to traditional printed publications and CD-ROM versions, we now offer on-line manuals with the most up-to-date information you can get.
  • Page 4: Overview

    Once an error has been detected, the module no longer communicates with the SLC processor. Channel states are disabled, and data words are cleared (0). Failure of any diagnostic test results in a non-recoverable error and requires the assistance of your local distributor or Allen-Bradley. Publication 1746-5.17...

  • Page 6: Electrostatic Damage

    SLC 500™ RTD/Resistance Input Module Electrostatic Damage Electrostatic discharge can damage semiconductor devices inside this module if you touch backplane connector pins or other sensitive areas. Guard against electrostatic damage by observing the following precautions. ATTENTION: Electrostatic discharge can degrade performance or cause permanent damage.
  • Page 7: Modular Chassis Considerations

    SLC 500™ RTD/Resistance Input Module Modular Chassis Considerations Place your RTD module in any slot of an SLC 500 modular chassis (except slot 0) or a modular expansion chassis. Slot 0 is reserved for the modular processor or adapter modules. Fixed Expansion Chassis Considerations Important: The 2-slot, SLC 500 fixed I/O expansion chassis (1746-A2)
  • Page 8: Module Installation And Removal

    SLC 500™ RTD/Resistance Input Module Module Installation and Removal When installing the module in a chassis, it is not necessary to remove the terminal block from the module. Module Installation Procedure 1. Align the circuit board of the RTD module with the card guides located at the top and bottom of the chassis.
  • Page 9: Terminal Block Wiring And Removal

    SLC 500™ RTD/Resistance Input Module Terminal Block Wiring and Removal The RTD module contains an 18-position, removable terminal block. The terminal pin-out is shown below. ATTENTION: Disconnect power to the SLC before attempting to install, remove, or wire the removable terminal wiring block. To avoid cracking the removable terminal block, alternate the removal of the terminal block release screws.

    SLC 500™ RTD/Resistance Input Module 2. Grasp the terminal block at the top and bottom and pull outward and down. Wiring Considerations Follow the guidelines below when planning your system wiring. Since the operating principle of the RTD module is based on the measurement of resistance, take special care in selecting your input cable.

  • Page 12 SLC 500™ RTD/Resistance Input Module Important: The RTD module requires three wires to compensate for lead resistance error. We recommend that you do not use 2-wire RTDs if long cable runs are required, as it will reduce the accuracy of the system.
  • Page 13: Wiring Resistance Devices (Potentiometers) To The Nr4 Module

    SLC 500™ RTD/Resistance Input Module When using a 3-wire configuration, the module compensates for resistance error due to lead wire length. For example, in a 3-wire configuration, the module reads the resistance due to the length of one of the wires and assumes that the resistance of the other wire is equal.
