WEIDMULLER WAS5 PRO RTD | 8560700000 Temperature Signal Converter

📝 Product Description

The WEIDMULLER WAS5 PRO RTD 8560700000 is a configurable RTD isolating transformer and temperature signal converter designed for industrial measurement and control applications. It accepts PT100 and Ni100 resistance temperature signals using 2-, 3-, or 4-wire connections and converts the measured signal into standard analog process outputs such as 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, or 0–10 V. The module provides galvanic three-way isolation between the input, output, and auxiliary power circuits, making it suitable for signal conditioning and electrical isolation between field sensors and control-system analog inputs.

The WAS5 PRO RTD uses DIP-switch configuration and potentiometers for adjustment and is designed for TS35 rail mounting. It supports a configurable PT100 temperature range of -200°C to +850°C and Ni100 from -60°C to +250°C. The compact 17.5 mm-wide housing makes it suitable for control cabinets where space is limited. Weidmüller currently identifies order number 8560700000 as discontinued and lists 1176030000 as the alternative product.
