Voltage Range

Cold Junction Compensation

When using thermocouples, cold junction compensation is required at the termination of the thermocouple wire. The actual cold junction exists outside of the module at the wiring block internal to the CJC module and is representative of the ambient temperature.

Accomplish a cold junction in the following ways:

Rockwell Automation Publication 1732E-UM004A-EN-E - July 2012 3

• Enter an estimated temperature (Cold Junction Compensation Offset).

• Use external cold junction compensators to measure the cold junction

temperature directly.

To compensate for cold junction temperature voltage, the 1732E-IT4IM12R Thermocouple module has to determine actual cold junction temperature. If the module is configured to provide cold junction compensation, then the user must use a CJC Terminal Chamber (such as Allen-Bradley 871A-TS4CJC-DM or

871A-TR4CJC-DM

(1)

as shown in the next diagram).

The module uses this thermistor(s) resistance to deduce the cold junction generated voltage to be applied to accurately measure the hot junction absolute temperature.

RTD Sensor Types

The compensation voltage to be applied can also be estimated by applying fixed cold junction correction using a fixed offset directly through the RSLogix 5000 software. The module supports thermistor compensation range at 0…70 °C.

The Thermocouple module also supports CJC error detection if a channel CJC module is selected but is not correctly connected to the correct channel. The module detects open circuit condition and triggers the warning status bit and fault LED.

Cold junction compensation is supported on all four channels of the 1732E-IT4IM12R module.

The 1732E-IR4IM12R module supports 100Ω- 200Ωμ = 0.00385/0.003916 Pt RTDs, 100/120Ω Ni RTDs, and a 10Ω Cu α =0.00427 RTD.

(1) The Allen-Bradley 871A-TS4CJC-DM or 871A-TR4CJC-DM terminal chamber has an embedded thermistor,

which facilitates thermocouple-based temperature measurement. The thermistor types supported are Thermometrics MF65F302V/W, or DC95F302V/W.

Ni 618 0…238.65 Ω -90…140 °C (-130…284 °F) 0…75 mV

The module uses a third sensor wire to measure and correct for the cable lead resistance for each RTD type. The compensation circuit depends on an outside module jumper to connect the third wire if the compensating lead wire is not available (that is, if a 2-wire RTD is connected to the I/O connector).

Module Alarms

If the lead resistance is not directly measured with the third lead wire, the user can specify a lead wire resistance offset to be applied to the data for direct compensation via RSLogix 5000.

The ArmorBlock Thermocouple and RTD modules are capable of generating the following alarms.

• Overrange

• Und erra ng e

• Level (low, low-low, high, high-high)

• Open-wire detection

Overrange Alarm

The channel overrange alarm is set if the input is greater than the maximum temperature (thermocouple or RTD range dependent), millivolt (+78 mV) or resistance (600 Ω) range value, or above the maximum range of the thermocouple or RTD.

Underrange Alarm

The channel underrange alarm is set if the input is less than the minimum temperature (thermocouple or RTD range dependent), millivolt (-78 mV) or

Rockwell Automation Publication 1732E-UM004A-EN-E - July 2012 5

resistance (10 Ω) range value, or below the minimum range of the thermocouple or RTD.

Level Alarms

The following level alarms are available.

• Low

• Low-Low

• High

Overview

Install the Module

This chapter shows you how to install and wire the 1732E ArmorBlock EtherNet/IP Dual Port 4-Point Thermocouple and RTD Input modules. The only tools you require are a flat or Phillips head screwdriver and drill. This chapter includes the following topics:

Topics Page

Install the Module 7 Set the Network Address 7 Mount the Module 9 Wire the Module 10

To install the module:

• Set the network address

• Mount the module

• Connect the I/O, Network, and Auxiliary cables to the module.

Set the Network Address

The I/O block ships with the rotary switches set to 999 and DHCP enabled. To change the network address, you can do one of the following:

• adjust the node address switches on the front of the module.

• use a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, such as

Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP.

• retrieve the IP address from nonvolatile memory.

The I/O block reads the switches first to determine if the switches are set to a valid number. To set the network address:

1. Remove power.

2. Remove the switch dust caps.

3. Rotate the three (3) switches on the front of the module using a small

blade screwdriver.

4. Line up the small notch on the switch with the number setting you wish to use. Valid settings range from 001…254.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1732E-UM004A-EN-E - July 2012 7

Chapter 2 Install Your ArmorBlock Module

44233

Note: You need to remove the protective switch dust caps before you can adjust the address settings.

Example shows network switches set at 163, which sets the module IP address to 192.168.1.163.

5. Replace switch dust caps. Make sure not to over tighten.

6. Reapply power.

7. Record IP address on product label found on the side of enclosure.

Set Network Address

When the switches are set to a valid number, the I/O block’s IP address is

192.168.1.xxx, where xxx represents the number set on the switches. The I/O block’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and default gateway address is set to

192.168.1.1.

When the I/O block uses the network address set on the switches, the I/O block does not have a host name assigned to it or use any Domain Name Server.

If the switches are set to an invalid number (for example, 000 or a value greater than 254 excluding 888), the I/O block checks to see if DHCP is enabled. If DHCP is enabled, the I/O block asks for an address from a DHCP server. The DHCP server also assigns other Transport Control Protocol (TCP) parameters. (The modules are shipped with the network switches set to 999.)

If DHCP is not enabled, the I/O block uses the IP address (along with other TCP configurable parameters) stored in nonvolatile memory.

Network Address Switch value 001

The module IP address cannot be the same as the gateway address. If the address switches are set to 001, the module IP address becomes 192.168.1.1, which is the same as the default gateway address. In this case, the module gateway address will be set to 0.0.0.0.

Default Factory Configuration

The switch value 888 resets the module to default factory configuration on power up. The module will not operate properly when powered up with this setting. The switches must be set to a different (and valid) value and then power cycled after a reset.

Configure Your I/O Module

Overview of the Configuration Process through RSLogix 5000

You must configure your module upon installation. The module will not work until it has been configured with at least the default configuration.

RSLogix 5000 Configuration Software

You must use RSLogix 5000, version 20 or later, to configure your module. You have the option of accepting default configuration for your module or writing point-level configuration specific to your application.

Both options are explained in detail, including views of software screens, in this chapter.

When you use the RSLogix 5000 software to configure a module, you must perform the following steps:

1. Add the Local EtherNet/IP Bridge (1756-EN2T, 1756-EN2TR, or 1756-EN3TR) to your project’s I/O Configuration.

2. Add the 1732E-IT4IM12R or 1732E-IR4IM12R module as a child of the 1756-EN2T module.

Add a New Bridge and Module to Your RSLogix 5000 Project

3. Accept the default configuration or change it to specific configuration for the module.

4. Edit configuration for a module when changes are needed.

After you have started RSLogix 5000 software and created a controller, you must add a new bridge and a new module to your project. The bridge allows your module to communicate with the controller.

The wizard allows you to create a new module and write configuration. You can use default configuration or write specific configuration for your application.

Click Help on the configuration dialogs shown in this section if you need assistance in selecting and setting the parameters.

Configure Your Thermocouple and RTD Input Modules with RSLogix 5000 Software Chapter 3

IMPORTANT

TIP

Edit Your Module Configuration

RSLogix 5000 programming software automatically creates module-defined data types and tags when a module is created. This section describes how to modify the default configuration for input modules.

Data types symbolically name module configuration, input and output data. Tags let you provide each a unique name, such as where the user-defined data type and slot reside on the controller. This information is used to communicate data between the controller and module.

After you have set configuration for a module, you can review and change your choices. You can change configuration data and download it to the controller while online. This is called dynamic reconfiguration.

Your freedom to change some configurable features, though, depends on whether the controller is in Remote Run Mode or Program Mode.

Although you can change configuration while online, you must go offline to add or delete modules from the project.

The editing process begins on the main page of RSLogix 5000 software.

1. On the I/O Configuration tree for your project in RSLogix 5000, right-click the name of your module.

2. Select Properties. The Module Properties dialog appears and has the following tabs available for configuration.

3. Click any of the tabs to edit the parameters for your module. The next sections show you how to edit the different tabs in the Module Properties dialog.

Tabs can be selected in any order. The following examples are for instructional purposes.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1732E-UM004A-EN-E - July 2012 21

Chapter 3 Configure Your Thermocouple and RTD Input Modules with RSLogix 5000 Software

General Tab

The General tab allows you to edit general properties such as Name, IP Address, and Description for your module.

You also can edit Module Definition properties such as revision, electronic keying, and data. To do so, click Change.

Module Definition Fields

Field Name Description

Series Specifies the module series. Revision Specifies the module’s major and minor revision. Electronic Keying The electronic keying feature automatically compares the expected

module, as shown in the RSLogix 5000 I/O Configuration tree, to the physical module before I/O communication begins. You can use electronic keying to help prevent communication to a module that does not match the type and revision expected.

For each module in the I/O Configuration tree, the user-selected keying option determines if, and how, an electronic keying check is performed.

Typically, three keying options are available:

• Exact Match

• Compatible Module (default value)

• Disable Keying Exact Match is an electronic keying protection mode that requires the

physical module and the module configured in the software to match according to vendor, catalog number, major revision and minor revision.

Compatible Module indicates that the module determines whether to accept or reject communication. Compatible Keying is the default setting. It allows the physical module to accept the key of the module configured in the software, provided that the configured module is one the physical module is capable of emulating. The exact level of emulation required is product and revision specific.

Disable Keying indicates the keying attributes are not considered when attempting to communicate with a module. Other attributes, such as data size and format, are considered and must be acceptable before I/O communication is established. With Disabled Keying, I/O communication may occur with a module other than the type specified in the I/O configuration tree with unpredictable results. We generally do not recommend using Disabled Keying.

Module Definition Fields

Field Name Description

Connection Available options are Data, Input Only, Exclusive Owner, and Listen Only.

Calibration and Configuration options are not available for Listen Only option.

Input Only specifies an independent connection where a device receives inputs from the target device and sends configuration data to the target device. An Input Only connection does not send outputs; it only receives inputs. You can specify multiple Input Only connections to the target device from different originators.

Exclusive Owner specifies an independent connection where a single device controls the output states in the target device. If you have an existing Exclusive Owner connection to a target device, you cannot specify another Exclusive Owner or Redundant connection to that same target device.

Listen Only specifies a dependent connection where a device receives inputs from the target device, but does not send configuration data with the target device. A Listen Only connection only functions properly when another non-Listen Only connection exists to the same target device. A Listen Only connection does not send outputs; it only receives inputs. You can specify multiple Listen Only connections to the target device from different originators.

Connection Tab

The Connection tab on the Module Properties dialog box lets you enter a requested packet interval (RPI), inhibit a module, and set a connection fault when the controller is in Run mode. The RPI provides a defined, maximum period of time when data is transferred to the owner-controller.

Cold Junction Compensation Mode

Select Channels for Averaging

Cold Junction Compensation Offset lets you manually enter a cold junction temperature. This can only be done if the external cold junction compensation is disabled.

If there is no thermistor available, and the ambient temperature is known to be, for example, 28.00 °C (82.40 °F), you can type the value into the box to provide the cold junction compensation.

For more information, see Cold Junction Compensation (1732E-

IT4IM12R only) on page 38.

When the cold junction is enabled, the mode determines where the temperature measurement source (the thermistor) is located. Valid values are Channel Independent, or Average Selected.

See Cold Junction Compensation (CJC) Mode on page 39 to learn more about the CJC modes.

This option is only available if the Cold Junction Compensation Mode is Average Selected. It allows you to select all the channels that have a thermistor attached.

When a single channel is selected, the thermistor attached to that channel provides the compensation temperature for all channels. When more than one channel is selected, the temperature used by the selected channels is averaged across all selected channels that have a valid thermistor detected.

Alarm Configuration Tab

The Alarm Configuration tab on the Module Properties dialog box lets you program high and low limits, and disable and latch alarms per channel.

Cold Junction Compensation (1732E-IT4IM12R only)

Cold junction compensation (CJC) is the temperature at the cold, or reference, point. This value helps determine the temperature at the hot, or measured, point. Two me cha ni sm s ca n h el p d erive CJC :

• From a user-entered value

• From one or more thermistors attached to the module

In RSLogix 5000, the following parameters configure CJC behavior:

• Cold Junction Compensation Enable (available for each of the 4 channels)

• Cold Junction Compensation Mode (module-wide setting)

• Cold Junction Compensation Offset (available for each of the 4 channels)

Cold Junction Compensation feature is only available for a channel when it is configured as a Thermocouple type. If a channel is set as mV (no linearization), CJC Enable and CJC Offset are not available.

Cold Junction Compensation Enable

The Cold Junction Compensation Enable box on the Module Properties Configuration tab enables cold junction compensation on each of the four

Configurable Features for the Thermocouple and RTD Input Modules Chapter 4

IMPORTANT

channels. Typically, this option should always be enabled except for systems that have no thermoelectric effect, such as test equipment in a controlled lab.

When this parameter is set for a channel, compensation is derived from one or more thermistors attached to the module. If not set (disabled), compensation will come from a user-entered value (CJC Offset).

In most applications, we recommend that you use the cold junction compensation enable option with the recommended thermistor based terminal blocks attached to the module..

Cold Junction Compensation (CJC) Mode

When CJC is enabled, CJC Mode determines where the temperature measurement source (thermistor) is located. The following options are available for the user:

• Average Selected

• Channel Independent

When CJC Mode is Average Selected, all sensor channels will use an average of the compensation determined by thermistor(s) attached to the user-selected channel(s).

When CJC Mode is Channel Independent, each sensor channel uses the compensation derived from a thermistor attached to the channel.

The produced cold junction compensation data is the temperature value read by the thermistor(s), in °C, which is being applied to the reading on any channel configured for thermistor compensation.

If a thermistor is not detected from the specified channel(s), the produced cold junction data indicates an error (0x8000) and no compensation is applied.

Cold Junction Compensation Offset

When no thermistor is attached to the module or channel, the user can specify the CJC Offset value to be added to the CJC input during temperature calculation. CJC Offset compensates for any inaccuracies of the CJC sensor. Valid values range from 0…70 °C, with 0 °C as default value.

CJC Offset parameter is enabled for configuration when the CJC Enable parameter is not checked for that channel.

Calibrate Your Modules

IMPORTANT

Chapter

Overview

The Thermocouple and RTD modules are shipped to you calibrated but calibration is also made available through the RSLogix 5000 software should you choose to recalibrate your module to increase accuracy for your specific application.

This chapter shows you how to calibrate your modules through the RSLogix 5000 software. It includes the following topics.

Topic Page

Calibrate the Thermocouple Module 46 Calibrate the RTD Module 49

Analog I/O modules can be calibrated on a channel-by-channel basis or with the channels grouped together. Regardless of which option you choose, we recommend you calibrate all channels on your module each time you calibrate. This will help you maintain consistent calibration readings and improve module accuracy.

Calibration is meant to correct any hardware inaccuracies that may be present on a particular channel. The calibration procedure compares a known standard, either input signal or recorded output, with the channel’s performance and then calculating a linear correction factor between the measured and the ideal.

The linear calibration correction factor is applied on every input or output same to obtain maximum accuracy.

To maintain your module’s accuracy specifications, we recommend you use calibration instruments with specific ranges. The table lists the recommended instruments for the two modules.

Troubleshoot the Module Chapter 6

Warning icon appears when a communications fault occurs or if the module is inhibited

Warning signal – The module has a communications fault

Status line provides information on the module fault and on the connection to the module

RSLogix 5000 software generates 1 s in response to a module communication fault. In this example, a communication fault occurred between the controller and the module, so the controller automatically writes 1 s for all bits in the word.

• Warning signal on the main screen next to the module – This occurs when the connection to the module is broken.

• Message in a screen’s status line.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1732E-UM004A-EN-E - July 2012 55

• Notification in the Tag Monitor – General module faults are also reported in the Tag Monitor. Communication faults are reported in the input tags.

INT The channel input signal represented in counts where -32,768 counts is the minimum detectable input

signal and 32,767 counts is the maximum detectable.

BOOL Individual channel fault status bit. Indicates a ‘hard’ fault has occurred on the channel that means:

calibration is ongoing; or if an input, an overrange or underrange condition is present. These bits also are set by the controller if communication is lost with the I/O module.

BOOL Indicates if calibration is currently in progress on a channel.

BOOL Low alarm bits that set when the input signal moves beneath the configured low alarm trigger point,

Ch<0...3>LAlarmLimit. Remains set until the input signal moves above the trigger point, unless latched via Ch<0...3>LimitAlarmLatch, of the low alarm trigger point.

BOOL High alarm bit that sets when the input signal moves above the configured high alarm trigger point,

Ch<0...3>HAlarmLimit. Remains set until the input signal moves below the trigger point, unless latched via Ch<0...3>LimitAlarmLatch.

BOOL Low low alarm bit that sets when the input signal moves beneath the configured low low alarm trigger

point, Ch<0...3>LLAlarmLimit. Remains set until the input signal moves above the trigger point, unless latched via Ch<0...3>LimitAlarmLatch.
