This Installation and Operation Guide provides installation and operation instructions for the CTI 2557-A 8-Channel Analog Output Module for SIMATIC® 505 and CTI 2500 Series® programmable controllers. We assume you are familiar with the operation of the CTI 2500 Series® programmable controllers.
As shown in the following figure, of the two bits not used for the digital word, one is used to show the sign of the word, while the other is used to note values which are "overrange or underrange." 1.4 RTD Input to Digital Conversion Figure 3 Word Input to the PLC from the Module CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
Scaled Integer = (measured temp - min temp) ÷ (max temp - min temp) × 32000 For example the scaled integer offset at 0'C for a 1000 Pt RTD is: Scaled Integer = 0 - (-199.8) ÷ (849 - (-199.8)) × 32000 = 6091 CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
The Model 2557-A uses the least significant bit (16) to indicate an open RTD. The value of this bit is set to 1 when this condition occurs. Figure 5 Effect of Voltage Input - 100 Ohm Platinum Figure 6 Effect of Voltae Input - 120 Ohm Nickel CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
The module has a resolution of approximately 0.1 degrees C, 0.2 degrees F or exactly 0.01 millivolts. The chart below shows the corresponding input resolution per step for each of the input configuration modes: Figure 9 Input Resolution CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
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 static bag. You will need it for the following configuration procedure. CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
Each channel contains a jumper to select between 2, 3 and 4 wire RTD elements. (See Figure 10, JP68). For 2 wire and 3 wire RTDs no change is required. For 4 wire RTDs the jumper should be removed and placed on a single pin for storage. CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
Locate the temperature scaling jumper JP66 on the righthand side of the module (see Figure 10) and select either degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius by positioning the jumper in the DEG F or DEG C position. CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...

Be careful not to damage the connector card at the back of the module when inserting or removing the module. WARNING: Remove power from the I/O base before inserting or removing a module. CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
The Model 2557-A may compensate for up to 20 Ohm of lead resistance per wire. Use the table in Figure 9 in planning the maximum distance the RTD may be located from the module. Figure 13 Copper Wire Table at 25 Degrees Celsius CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
Block 7 for Channels 13 & 14 Removable Block 8 for Channels 15 & 16 Figure 14 Removable Wiring Connector Wiring Diagram CAUTION: RTD wires must be of the same gauge for proper lead length compensation. CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
CAUTION: For proper operation, ensure that the 2557-A is not subjected to large temperature gradients during operation. Figure 15 Wiring Diagram for 2, 3 , 4 Wire RTDs and Millivolt Signals CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
2.6.1 Connecting the Shield Wiring Control Technology Inc. recommends that all signal wires be shielded twisted-pair with a foil wrap shield and a separate drain wire and that they be installed in a metallic conduit. Use Belden cable 8761 or equivalent which contains foil wrap shield and a separate drain wire. The shield and the foil wrap should be twisted together and should be terminated at only one end.
PLC. To view the PLC memory configuration chart listing all slots on the base and the inputs or outputs associated with each slot, refer to your SIMATIC® or TISOFT Programming Manual. An example chart is shown in the following figure. CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
505 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 in for repair. CTI 2557-A Installation and Operation Guide...
