hapter : F-RT -hannel RT Input onnecting the Field Wiring Wiring Guidelines Your company may have guidelines for wiring and cable installation. If so, check the guidelines before beginning the installation. Here are some general things to consider: Use the shortest wiring route whenever possible. Use shielded wiring and ground the shield at the transmitter source. o not ground the shield at both the module and the source. o not run the signal wiring next to large motors, high current switches, or transformers. This may cause noise problems. Route the wiring through an approved cable housing to minimize the risk of accidental damage. heck local and national codes to choose the correct method for your application. To remove the terminal block, disconnect power to the PL and the field devices. Pull the terminal block firmly until the connector separates from the module. You can remove the RT module from the PL by folding out the retaining tabs at the top and bottom of the module. s the retaining tabs pivot upward and outward, the module s connector is lifted out of the PL socket. Once the connector is free, you can lift the module out of its slot. Use the following diagram to connect the field wiring. If necessary, the F RT terminal block can be removed to make removal of the module possible without disturbing field wiring. RT - Resistance Temperature etector Use shielded RTs whenever possible to minimize noise on the input signal. Ground the shield wire at one end only, preferably at the RT source. Lead onfiguration for RT Sensors The suggested three-lead configuration shown below provides one lead to the H+ terminal, one lead to the H terminal, and one lead to the common terminal. ompensation circuitry nulls out the lead length for accurate temperature measurements. Some sensors have four leads. When making connections, do not connect the second lead to the H+ input; leave that lead unconnected. o not use configurations that lack Wiring onnections For Typical RT Sensor the use of the same color lead to both the H and OM terminals.

hapter : F-RT -hannel RT Input Module Operation efore beginning to write the control program, it is important to take a few minutes to understand how the module processes the analog signals. hannel Scanning Sequence for a L PU (Multiplexing) The F-RT module can supply different amounts of data per scan, depending on the type of PU being used. The L can obtain one channel of data per PU scan. Since there are four channels, it can take up to four scans to get data for all channels. Once all channels have been scanned the process starts over with channel. Unused channels are not processed, so if only two channels are selected, each channel will be updated every other scan. The multiplexing method can also be used for the L/-/ PUs.

hapter : F-RT -hannel RT Input hannel Scanning Sequence for L, L- and L PUs (Pointer Method) If a L, a L- or a L PU is being used, all four channels of input data can be captured in one scan. This is because the L/-/ PUs support special V-memory locations that are used to manage the data transfer. This is discussed in more detail in the next section on Writing the ontrol Program.

This enables the module to continuously provide accurate measurements without slowing down the discrete control logic in the RLL program. The time required to sense the temperature and copy the value to V-memory is ms minimum to ms plus scan time maximum (number of channels x ms + scan time). - L nalog Manual, th Edition Rev.
hapter : F-RT -hannel RT Input Writing the ontrol Program Reading Values Pointer Method and Multiplexing There are two methods of reading values: Pointer method Multiplexing The multiplexing method must be used with a L PU. The multiplexing method must also be used with remote I/O modules (the pointer method will not work). Either method can be used with the L, L- and L PUs, but for ease of programming it is highly recommended to use the pointer method. Pointer Method for the L/-/ PUs The PU has special V-memory locations assigned to each base slot that greatly simplifies the programming requirements. These V-memory locations: Specify the number of channels to scan. Specify the storage locations. The example program shows how to setup these locations. Place this rung anywhere in the ladder program, or in the initial stage if stage programming instructions are used. This is all that is required to read the data into V-memory locations. Once the data is in V-memory, math instructions can be used on the data, compare the data against preset values, etc. V is used in the example, but any user V-memory location can be used. The module is installed in slot for the examples. Use the V-memory locations shown in the application. The pointer method automatically converts values to. NOTE: L PUs with firmware release version. or later and L PUs with firmware release version. or later support this method. Use the L multiplexing example if the firmware revision is earlier. SP L -or- L K K V L O V Loads a constant that specifies the number of channels to scan and the data format. The upper byte, most significant nibble (MSN) selects the data format (=, =inary), the LSN selects the number of channels (,,, or ). The binary format is used for displaying data on some operator interfaces. The L/ PUs do not support binary math functions, whereas the L does. Special V-memory location assigned to slot that contains the number ofchannels to scan. This loads an octal value for the first V-memory location that will be used to store the incoming data. For example, the O entered here would designate the following addresses: h - V, V, h - V, V, h - V, V, h - V, V. The octal address (O) isstored here. V isassigned toslot and acts as a pointer, which means the PU will use the octal value in this location to determine exactly where tostore the incoming data. L nalog Manual, th Edition Rev. -
hapter : F-RT -hannel RT Input The following tables show the special V-memory locations used by the L, L- and L for the PU base and local expansion base I/O slots. Slot (zero) is the module next to the PU or -M module. Slot is the module two places from the PU or -M, and so on. Remember, the PU only examines the pointer values at these locations after a mode transition. lso, if the L (multiplexing) method is used, verify that these addresses in the PU are (zero).

hapter : F-RT -hannel RT Input Negative Temperature Readings with Magnitude Plus Sign for the L, L- and L PUs (Pointer Method) With bipolar ranges, some additional logic will be needed to determine whether the value being returned represents a positive voltage or a negative voltage. For example, the direction for a motor might need to be known. There is a solution for this: If bipolar ranges are used and a value greater than or equal to hex is obtained, the value is negative. If a value less than or equal to FFF hex is obtained, then the value is positive. The sign bit is the most significant bit, which combines hex to the data value. If the value is greater than or equal to hex, only the most significant bit and the active channel bits need to be masked to determine the actual data value. NOTE: L PUs with firmware release version. or later and L PUs with firmware release version. or later support this method. Use the L multiplexing example if your firmware is an earlier version. The two programs on the next page show how this can be accomplished. The first example uses magnitude plus sign (binary) and the second example uses magnitude plus sign (). The examples only show two channels. It is good to know when a value is negative, so these rungs should be placed before any other operations that use the data, such as math instructions, scaling operations, etc. lso, if stage programming instructions are being used, these rungs should be in a stage that is always active. NOTE: This logic is only needed for each channel that is using bipolar input signals. L nalog Manual, th Edition Rev. -

Noise can be generated by the field device and/ or induced by field wiring. The analog value in is first converted to a binary number. Memory location V is the designated workspace in this example. The MULR instruction is the filter factor, which can be from... The example uses.. Using a smaller filter factor increases filtering. higher precision value can be used, but it is not generally needed. The filtered value is then converted back to binary and then to. The filtered value is stored in location V for use in the application program or a PI loop. NOTE: e careful not to do a multiple number conversion on a value. For example, if the pointer method is used to get the analog value, it is in and must be converted to binary. However, if the conventional method of reading analog is used and the first bits are masked, the value is already in binary and no conversion is needed. lso, if the conventional method is used, change the LL V instruction to L V.
