This chapter describes the 1790D-4TO/T4TO (1790P-T4TO)
Thermocouple/mV Input module and explains how the module reads
thermocouple or millivolt analog input data. Included is:
• the module’s hardware and diagnostic features
• an overview of system and module operation
• compatibility
1
General Description
The thermocouple/mV input module supports thermocouple and millivolt
signal measurement applications that require up to four channels. It
digitally converts and stores thermocouple and/or millivolt analog data
from any combination of up to four thermocouple or millivolt analog
sensors. Each input channel is individually configurable via software for a
specific input device, and filter frequency, and provides open-circuit,
over-range and under-range detection and indication. When configured
for thermocouple inputs, the module can convert the thermocouple
readings into digital temperature readings in °C or °F. When configured
for mV inputs, the module assumes that the direct mV input signal is
linear prior to input to the module.
The data can be configured on board each module as:
engineering units x 1
The module uses a digital filter that provides high frequency noise
rejection for the input signals. The filter is programmable, allowing you
to select from seven different filter frequencies for each channel:
• 10 Hz
• 25 Hz
• 100 Hz
• 250 Hz
• 50 Hz
• 60 Hz
The module uses five input words for data and status bits. Module
configuration is stored in the module memory. The 1790D modules’
configuration is done via RSNetWorx for DeviceNet™ programming
software. See Chapter 3, Module Data, Status, and Channel Configuration
for DeviceNet , for details on module configuration. The 1790P module
configuration is explained in Appendix E.

Overview 1-3
Hardware Features
DeviceNet Network
Connection
The thermocouple/mV module contains either a fixed terminal block or a
removable D-sub connector, which provides connections for four inputs
for any combination of thermocouple and mV input devices. Channels are
wired as differential inputs. The illustration below shows the hardware
features of the module.
Internal to the module, Cold Junction Compensation (CJC) sensors are
attached to the terminal block to enable accurate readings from each
channel. These sensors compensate for offset voltages introduced into
the input signal as a result of the cold-junction where the thermocouple
wires are connected to the module.
General Diagnostic Features
Module, network, and channel LEDs help you identify the source of
problems that may occur during power-up or during normal channel
operation. The LEDs indicate both status and power. See Chapter 4,
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting , for details on power-up and channel
diagnostics.
System Overview
The modules communicate to the controller or network scanner via the
DeviceNet™ or PROFIBUS network. The 1790D modules also receive 24V
dc power through DeviceNet. An external 24V dc auxiliary source is
required to power the 1790P module and all thermocouple/mV channels.
System Operation
At power-up, the module performs a check of its internal circuits,
memory, and basic functions. If no faults are found during power-up
diagnostics, the module status LED is turned on (green).
Once a channel is properly configured and enabled, the module
continuously converts the thermocouple or mV input to a value within the
range selected for that channel.
Each time the module reads an input channel, it tests the data for a fault
(over- or under-range or open-circuit condition). If it detects a fault, the
module sets a unique bit in the channel status word. See Input Data File
on page 3-2. The module sends two’s compliment binary converted
thermocouple/mV data out over the network. See Appendix B for a
description of two’s compliment binary numbers.

Overview 1-5
Module Operation - DeviceNet Example
When the module recieves a differential input from an analog device, the
module’s circuitry multiplexes the input into an A/D converter. The
converter reads the signal and converts it as required for the type of input.
The module also continuously samples the CJC sensors and compensates
for temperature changes at the terminal block cold junction, between the
thermocouple wire and the input channel. See the block diagram below.

Each channel can receive input signals from a thermocouple or millivolt
analog input device, depending upon how you configured the channel.
When configured for thermocouple input types, the module converts the
analog input voltages into cold-junction compensated and linearized
digital temperature readings. The module uses the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) ITS-90 standard for linearization for all
thermocouple types (J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N).
When configured for millivolt inputs, the module converts the analog
values directly into digital counts.
Publication 1790-UM003A-EN-P
1-6 Overview
From the readings taken by the converter, the module sends
thermocouple or mV data through the microcontroller to the DeviceNet
network.

This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution
Degree 2 industrial environment, in overvoltage
Category II applications (as defined in IEC
publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 meters
without derating.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A
industrial equipment according to IEC/CISPR
Publication 11. Without appropriate precautions,
there may be potential difficulties ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments
due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as "open type"
equipment. It must be mounted within an enclosure
that is suitably designed for those specific
environmental conditions that will be present and
appropriately designed to prevent personal injury
resulting from accessibility to live parts. The interior
of the enclosure must be accessible only by the use
of a tool. Subsequent sections of this publication may
contain additional information regarding specific
enclosure type ratings that are required to comply
with certain product safety certifications.

WARNING
!
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge,
which can cause internal damage and affect normal
operation. Follow these guidelines when you handle
this equipment:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge potential
static.
• Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
• Do not touch connectors or pins on component
boards.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the

• If available, use a static-safe workstation.
• When not in use, store the equipment in
appropriate static-safe packaging.
If you insert or remove the module while power is
on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is
nonhazardous before proceeding.
Selecting a Location
Reducing Noise
Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure to
reduce the effects of electrical interference. Thermocouple inputs are
highly susceptible to electrical noise. Electrical noise coupled to the
thermocouple inputs will reduce the performance (accuracy) of the
module.
Group your modules in the enclosure to minimize adverse effects
from radiated electrical noise and heat. Consider the following
conditions when selecting a location for the module. Position the
module:
• away from sources of electrical noise such as hard-contact
switches, relays, and AC motor drives
• away from modules which generate significant radiated heat.
In addition, route shielded, twisted-pair wiring away from any high
voltage I/O wiring.
Publication 1790-UM003A-EN-P - May 2002

Block
Each base block comes with its internal program set for node address
63. To reset the node address, adjust the switches on the front of the
block. The two switches are most significant digit (MSD) and least
significant digit (LSD). The switches can be set between 00 and 63.
The rotary switches are read at block power up only. Switch settings
between 64 and 99 cause the block to use the last valid node address
stored internally.
Example: Node
Address is set at 26
The node address may also be set through RSNetWorx for DeviceNet
or a similar configuration tool. When software configuration is used
for the node address, the switches must be set between 64 and 99.

Field Wiring Connections
System Wiring Guidelines
Consider the following when wiring your system:
General
• Route field wiring away from any other wiring and as far as
possible from sources of electrical noise, such as motors,
transformers, contactors, and ac devices. As a general rule, allow
at least 15.2 cm
(6 in.) of separation for every 120V of power.
• Routing field wiring in a grounded conduit can reduce electrical
noise.
• If field wiring must cross ac or power cables, ensure that they
cross at right angles.
• If multiple power supplies are used with analog millivolt inputs,
the power supply commons must be connected.
Terminal Block
• Do not use the module’s NC terminals as connection points.
• For millivolt sensors, use Belden 8761 shielded, twisted-pair wire
(or equivalent) to ensure proper operation and high immunity to
electrical noise.
• For a thermocouple, use the shielded, twisted-pair thermocouple
extension lead wires specified by the thermocouple manufacturer.
Using the incorrect type of thermocouple extension wire or not
following the correct polarity will cause invalid readings.
• To ensures optimum accuracy, limit overall cable impedance by
keeping a cable as short as possible. Locate the module as close to
input devices as the application permits.
Publication 1790-UM003A-EN-P - May 2002
Grounding
Installation and Wiring 2-13
ATTENTION
!
• This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface such as a metal panel. Additional grounding
connections from the module’s mounting tabs or DIN rail (if used)
are not required unless the mounting surface cannot be grounded.
• Keep cable shield connections to ground as short as possible.
• Ground the shield drain wire at one end only. The typical location
is as follows.
– For grounded thermocouples or millivolt sensors, this is at the
sensor end.
– For insulated/ungrounded thermocouples, this is at the
module end. Contact your sensor manufacturer for additional
details.
The possibility exists that a grounded or exposed
thermocouple can become shorted to a potential
greater than that of the thermocouple itself. Due to
possible shock hazard, take care when wiring
grounded or exposed thermocouples. See Appendix
D, Using Thermocouple Junctions.
• If it is necessary to connect the shield drain wire at the module
end, connect it to earth ground using a panel or DIN rail mounting
screw.
• Refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
Allen-Bradley publication 1770-4.1, for additional information.
Noise Prevention
• To limit the pickup of electrical noise, keep thermocouple and
millivolt signal wires as far as possible from power and load lines.
• If noise persists for a device, try grounding the opposite end of
the cable shield. (You can only ground one end at a time.)

2. Trim the signal wires to 2-inch (5 cm) lengths. Strip about 3/16
inch (5 mm) of insulation away to expose the end of the wire.
To prevent shock hazard, care should be taken when
wiring the module to analog signal sources. Before
wiring any module, disconnect power from the
system power supply and from any other source to
the module.

ATTENTION
Be careful when stripping wires. Wire fragments
that fall into a module could cause damage at
power up.

3. At one end of the cable, twist the drain wire and foil shield
together, bend them away from the cable, and apply shrink wrap.
Then earth ground at the preferred location based on the type of
sensor you are using. See Grounding on page 2-13.

4. At the other end of the cable, cut the drain wire and foil shield
back to the cable and apply shrink wrap.
5. Connect the signal wires to the terminal block. Connect the other
end of the cable to the analog input device.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each channel on the module.
TIP
See Appendix D Using Thermocouple Junctions for
additional information on wiring grounded,
ungrounded, and exposed thermocouple types.

Cold Junction
Compensation
Chapter Summary
To obtain accurate readings from each of the channels, the cold
junction temperature (temperature at the module’s terminal junction
between the thermocouple wire and the input channel) must be
compensated for. Cold junction compensating thermistors have been
integrated in the module.
In this chapter, you learned how to install and wire your modules. See
Chapter 3 to learn about module data, status, and channel
configuration with DeviceNet.
