Key Features:
- Wire Config Flexibility – Auto-compensates 2/3/4-wire RTDs without jumpers.
- Ultra-Low Drift | ±10 ppm/°C excitation current stability.
- Noise Immunity | >120dB common-mode rejection at 50/60 Hz.
- Diagnostic Capabilities | Sensor break, short-circuit, and out-of-range alerts.
- Hot-Swap Ready | Supports live insertion/removal in RX3i backplanes.
- Compact Design | 2-slot width (saves control panel space).
Primary Function & Purpose:
Converts RTD resistance values into high-accuracy temperature data for:
- Critical asset protection via over/under-temperature shutdowns.
- Process optimization through closed-loop thermal control.
- Predictive maintenance using temperature trend analytics.
Typical Applications:
- Motor/Bearing Monitoring – Winding temperature in large motors & generators.
- HVAC Systems – Duct, chill water, and coil temperature feedback.
- Industrial Machinery – Extruder barrels, hydraulic oil reservoirs.
- Energy Systems – Transformer windings, stator cooling loops.
- Food Processing – Pasteurization tanks, freeze tunnel control.
Application Fields:
Essential for precision temperature-critical systems in:
- Power Generation: Nuclear/coal plant feedwater heaters, condenser monitoring.
- Oil & Gas: Pipeline temperature tracking, LNG cryogenic storage.
- Chemicals: Reactor jacket temperature control, distillation columns.
- Water Treatment: Thermal disinfection processes.
- Pharma: Sterilization chambers, freeze-dryers.
