Siemens PLC I/O Module, Analogue Input Type, 8 Inputs - SIMATIC Series - 6ES7231-5PF32-0XB0_x000D_ Do you need to take precise temperature readings during your industrial automation processes? Opt for this PLC I/O module from Siemens. Its a resistance temperature detector with eight resistance thermometer inputs that support copper, nickel and platinum sensing elements to deliver a wide measurement range from -200°C to +850°C. To enable an attached PLC to respond to temperature data, this module converts the analogue input signal to a digital value. Use it with a Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 series CPU to put together a modular PLC system that meets your needs._x000D_ • 15-bit+ sign resolution offers a high level of accuracy_x000D_ • Operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C for use in extreme environments_x000D_ • IP20 rating indicates the unit is safe to touch_x000D_ • LED indicators and integrated diagnostics functions simplify fault detection for straightforward maintenance_x000D_ How does an RTD work?_x000D_ An RTD like this one uses the principle of temperature resistivity. As the temperature of a metal increases, so does its electrical resistance. Platinum, copper and nickel have a predictable relationship between temperature and resistance. This means that as a current passes through a sensor containing one of these metals, a measurement of the resistance can determine the temperature value.
