  • Weight: Standard VersaMax module form factor; 0.15 kg (0.33 lbs)
  • Module ID: FFFF9010
• Function Features:
  • 4 Independent Channels: Each channel supports 3-wire or 4-wire RTDs for flexible sensor integration
  • 16-Bit Resolution: 15 bits plus sign for precise temperature and resistance measurement
  • Automatic Excitation Current: Module provides excitation current matching the configured RTD type, eliminating external power needs
  • Comprehensive Diagnostics: Channel-specific fault detection (open RTD, short, underrange, overrange, memory, wiring, alarms) with PLC reporting
  • Versatile Input Ranges: Supports multiple RTD types and direct resistance inputs (0–500 Ω, 0–3000 Ω)
  • Seamless Integration: Works with VersaMax I/O carriers (IC200CHS series) for modular I/O expansion
  • Status LED: OK LED (green = power, amber = fault) for quick visual diagnostics
  • No External Power: Operates solely on backplane power, simplifying installation
• Application Scenarios:
  • Process Temperature Monitoring: Measures temperature in chemical, oil/gas, and water treatment plants using RTD sensors for reaction vessels, pipelines, and heat exchangers
  • Manufacturing Automation: Monitors equipment temperature (motors, bearings, furnaces) in automotive, packaging, and assembly lines for predictive maintenance
  • Power Generation/Distribution: Tracks temperature in generator windings, transformer windings, and switchgear to prevent overheating and ensure grid reliability
  • Building Automation: Controls HVAC systems by measuring duct, boiler, and chiller temperatures for energy efficiency in commercial/industrial facilities
  • Material Handling: Monitors conveyor motor and bearing temperatures to prevent downtime in automated storage and logistics systems
  • Food & Beverage Processing: Maintains precise temperature control in pasteurization, fermentation, and refrigeration processes using RTD sensors
• Installation & Maintenance:
  • Mounting: Install on VersaMax I/O carriers (IC200CHS001/002/005/022/025) with auxiliary terminal strips (IC200TBM series) for wiring
  • Configuration: Set RTD type, resistance range, and alarm thresholds via host PLC software; no on-module jumpers required
  • Wiring: Use shielded cables for RTD connections; ground shields at the module end via auxiliary terminal to minimize noise
  • Maintenance: No scheduled replacement parts; check OK LED for power and fault status; verify diagnostics during commissioning to ensure fault reporting works
  • Replacement: Direct drop-in for IC200ALG620; retains configuration via host PLC and backplane communication
