Description

Automation Direct F0-04RTD RTD Temperature Input Module

Product Dimensions：

The AutomationDirect F0-04RTD is a high-resolution Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) input module designed for the DL05 and DL06 series of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). It is a popular choice for industrial temperature monitoring due to its precision and ease of integration.

1. Product Description

The F0-04RTD is an analog input module that provides four channels for interfacing with various RTD sensors. It converts resistance signals from the sensors into digital values that the PLC CPU can process. The module is “plug-and-play,” fitting into the option card slot of a DL05 or DL06 Micro PLC.

2. Technical Specifications

Below are the key technical parameters for the F0-04RTD:

3. Product Advantages

• High Precision: 16-bit resolution allows for extremely fine temperature control and monitoring.

• Versatility: Supports a wide range of RTD types (Platinum, Copper, Nickel) and resistance ranges ($0–3125 \Omega$).

• Cost-Effective: Adds advanced temperature sensing to a compact PLC system without the need for expensive external transmitters.

• Ease of Setup: No complex calibration required; the module uses simple V-memory mapping for data retrieval.

• Diagnostic LEDs: Includes a “Module OK” LED for quick troubleshooting of power or internal faults.

4. Important Considerations (Usage Notes)

• Wiring Distance: For 3-wire RTDs, ensure all three wires are of the same length and gauge to minimize lead-wire resistance errors.

• Slot Limitation: This module can only be used in the option slots of DL05 (1 slot) or DL06 (2 slots) PLCs.

• External Interference: Use shielded twisted-pair cables and keep RTD wiring away from high-voltage AC lines to prevent electrical noise.

• Update Time: Since the module takes roughly 640ms to update all channels, it is best suited for processes with slower thermal dynamics rather than high-speed switching.

5. Product Applications

The F0-04RTD is ideal for any environment where precise temperature data is required:

• Food & Beverage: Monitoring oven temperatures or cooling vats.

• HVAC Systems: Managing building climate control and air handling units.

• Chemical Processing: Tracking reaction temperatures in small-scale batch processing.

• Plastics Industry: Monitoring mold temperatures in injection molding or extrusion.
