CHAPTER 1. DESCRIPTION The 2552-A Eight Channel RTD Input Module is a member of Control Technology's family of I/O modules compatible with the SIMATIC® 505 series programmable controllers. The Model 2552-A is designed to translate 100 Ohm platinum RTDs, 120 Ohm nickel RTDs or millivolt input signals into equivalent digital words which are then sent to the programmable controller (PLC).
Millivolt Mode, Digital Word (WX) = Millivolts X 100 As an example, the following figure illustrates the effects of a change in input level going from 0 degrees to 102.4 degrees in the RTD Input Mode. Figure 3 Example Change Input Level CTI 2552-A Installation and Operation Guide...
Similarly a millivolt input below 0 millivolts will cause the overrange bit to be set. A reading of 1 millivolt will be returned for any negative underrange input. Figure 5 Effect of Voltage Input - Millivolts CTI 2552-A Installation and Operation Guide...
The module has a resolution of approximately 0.2 degrees C, 0.4 degrees F or exactly 0.02 millivolts. The chart below shows the corresponding input resolution per step for each of the input configuration modes: Figure 6 Input Resolution CTI 2552-A Installation and Operation Guide...
PLC. During the configuration step, hold the printed circuit card only by its edges. Do not touch the circuit card pin connectors, or solder connections. After discharging any static build-up, remove the module from the static bag. Do not discard the CTI 2552-A Installation and Operation Guide...
Locate DIP switch SW1 (RTD Type Switches in Figure 8) on the 2552-A circuit card and select either 100 or 120 type RTD for each of the eight inputs by turning each switch open or closed. The "CLOSED" position corresponds to 100 Ohm platinum RTD input. CTI 2552-A Installation and Operation Guide...
To remove the module from the I/O base, loosen the captive screws, then remove the module from the I/O base. Be careful not to damage the connector card at the back of the module when inserting or removing the module. CTI 2552-A Installation and Operation Guide...
The Model 2552-A may compensate for up to 20 Ohm of lead resistance per wire. Use the table below in planning the maximum distance the RTD may be located from the module. Copper Wire Table at 25 Degrees Celsius CTI 2552-A Installation and Operation Guide...
To assign an input to a specific channel, locate the appropriate channel position on the screw terminal block as shown in the following figure: Figure 9 Screw Terminal Block Wiring CTI 2552-A Installation and Operation Guide...
This will provide the best performance. There should never be any shield termination at the source end of the signal wire. CTI 2552-A Installation and Operation Guide...
I/O slots. Please refer to Siemens® SIMATIC® 505 Programming Reference Manual for more information. If a module failure is reported by the status word, the module should be replaced with a working unit and the failed module sent infor repair. CTI 2552-A Installation and Operation Guide...
