Functional Features Supports multi‑channel RTD signal acquisition for 2‑wire, 3‑wire and 4‑wire connection modes. High‑precision resistance‑to‑temperature conversion for Pt100, Pt1000, Ni‑type RTD sensors. Provides hardware filtering to suppress industrial electromagnetic interference.
Application Scenarios Process industry distributed control system (DCS). Petrochemical plant reactor and pipeline temperature monitoring. Oil & gas processing facility temperature measurement loops. Chemical plant storage tank temperature monitoring. 
Structural Characteristics Standard single‑slot plug‑in structure matching Foxboro I/A Series rack. Front panel with status indicator LED lamps for power, channel fault and fieldbus communication. Field signal terminals located at module front side for wiring maintenance.
Working Principle Field RTD resistance signals enter through terminal connectors. Hardware filter circuits eliminate high‑frequency interference signals. Isolation circuits complete electrical isolation between field circuit and internal logic circuit. Constant current excitation circuit drives external RTD sensors, and the sampling circuit converts resistance variation into digital temperature value. Processed digital measurement data is transmitted to main control processor via HDLC fieldbus.
Installation Requirements Install the module into designated slot of Foxboro I/A Series standard rack. Ensure rack ground connection strictly follows system grounding specification. Field signal wiring must use shielded twisted‑pair cables. Separate power cable and signal cable routing to avoid crosstalk.
