The module uses a digital filter that provides high frequency noise rejection for each
input signal. The filter for each channel is programmable allowing you to select from six
different filter frequencies:
•
4.17 Hz
•
10 Hz
•
16.7 Hz
•
19.6 Hz
•
62 Hz
•
470 Hz
Each module requires a terminal base unit. Terminal base units are connected together to
form the backplane for the system. Each base unit contains terminals for field
terminations. Field terminations are wired as differential inputs with the exception of
RTD and resistance type inputs. Two cold junction compensation (CJC) sensors can be
added to the terminal base unit to enable accurate readings when using thermocouple
input types. Each CJC sensor compensates for offset voltages introduced into the input
signal as a result of the cold-junction where the thermocouple wires come into contact
with the base unit. Module configuration is accomplished using the controller's
programming software. In addition, some controllers support configuration via the user
