A6500-TP - Temperature / Process Card
The A6500-TP Temperature Process Card is a component of the CSI 6500-ATG Machine
Protection System. The card is equipped with 4 measuring channels for temperature
measurements with thermocouples or resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and
for measurements of process signals 0 - 1 V, 0 - 10 V or 0/4 - 20 mA standard signals.
Besides this, the card contains 2 digital inputs and 6 digital outputs. The measured
signals are transmitted through the internal RS 485 bus to the A6500-CC Com Card
and converted to Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP protocols for further transmission
to host computers or analysis systems. In addition, the Com Card provides the
communication through the USB socket at the face plate for the connection to PC/
laptop for the configuration of protection cards and for visualization of measuring
results. Apart from that, the measuring results can be output through analog outputs
0/4 - 20 mA. These outputs have a common ground and are electrically isolated from
system supply. The operation of the A6500-TP Temperature Process Card is performed
in the A6500-SR System Rack, which also provides connection of supply voltages and
signals. The A6500-TP Temperature Process Card provides the following functions:
QQ Temperature measurement with RTDs
QQ Temperature measurement with thermocouples with internal and external cold
junction compensation
QQ Measurement of standard process signals 0 - 1 V, 0 - 10 V or 0/4 - 20 mA
QQ Acquisition of digital signals with two digital inputs
QQ Output of analog values for each measuring channel through 4 current
outputs 0/4 – 20 mA
QQ Output of alarms through 6 digital outputs, the assignment to the measuring
channels can be configured in any way
