2 ArmorPOINT RTD and Thermocouple Input Modules Important User Information Solid-state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell Automation sales office or online at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important differences between solid-state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices.
ArmorPOINT RTD and Thermocouple Input Modules Environment and Enclosure ATTENTION: This equipment is intended for use in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined in IEC 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m (6562 ft) without derating. This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR 11.
Note that environmental requirements other than IP67 may require an additional appropriate housing. I/O connectors are sealed M12 (micro) style. The mounting base ships with the module. The 1738-IR2M12 module is shown here.
ArmorPOINT RTD and Thermocouple Input Modules Mount the I/O Base Mount the I/O base on a wall or panel, using the screw holes provided in the base. The module must be mounted on a grounded metal mounting plate or other IMPORTANT conductive surface.
6 ArmorPOINT RTD and Thermocouple Input Modules Install the Module Follow the instructions to install the ArmorPOINT input module. 1. Using a bladed screwdriver, rotate the keyswitch on the mounting base clockwise until the number 6 aligns with the notch in the base. 2.
The ArmorPOINT thermocouple I/O input module produces 8 Bytes of input data (scanner Rx – status) and fault status data. They do not consume I/O data (scanner Tx). Default Data Map – 1738-IR2M12 Message size: 6 Bytes 15 14 13...
