Product Q&A
- Q: Does this module require an external power supply?
- A: No, it draws its operating power directly from the PLC backplane.
- Q: Which RTD types are supported?
- A: It supports 100-ohm Platinum (European and American standards), 120-ohm Nickel, and 10-ohm Copper sensors.
- Q: Can I use 2-wire or 3-wire RTDs?
- A: It is optimized for 3-wire RTD configurations to provide lead-wire resistance compensation for higher accuracy.
- Q: Is this module compatible with the PACSystems RX3i?
- A: Yes, it is fully compatible with RX3i systems that utilize 90-30 style expansion or local racks.
