Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC rack is powered down before inserting or removing the module to prevent electrical damage.
• Install the module in an available slot within the Series 90-30 baseplate.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for RTD connections to minimize EMI/RFI interference.
• Ensure proper grounding of cable shields at the module terminal block or designated ground point.
• Verify that the module is configured correctly in the PLC software, specifically setting the %AI size to 6.
• Maintain adequate ventilation around the PLC rack to ensure the ambient temperature remains within the 0 to 60 degC operating range.
