SITRANS RD500 - 8 CHANNEL 0(4)-20 mA INPUT MODULE

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The 16-bit analog input module is designed for use with the SITRANS RD500.
The module provides a means of high-density signal measurement for data-
acquisition applications. The module accepts 0/4-20 process signals.
The module connects and communicates via a backplane connection to the
SITRANS RD500. The RD500 supports any combination of up to 16 modules, allowing
a total of 128 signals to be monitored via a single RD500.
Internal power management circuits allow the modules in non-hazardous
locations to be replaced while power is applied, which reduces downtime. All
configuration information is stored locally within the module, as well as in the
RD500, so replacement modules do not need to be configured.
The SITRANS RD500 high density packaging and DIN rail mounting saves time
and panel space. The backplane connection provides power and communication
to the module and snaps easily onto standard top hat (T) profile DIN rail.
