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.

1-4 Overview
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 twos compliment binary converted thermocouple/mV data out over the network. See Appendix B for a description of twos compliment binary numbers.

Overview 1-5
Module Operation - DeviceNet Example
When the module recieves a differential input from an analog device, the modules 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.

From the readings taken by the converter, the module sends thermocouple or mV data through the microcontroller to the DeviceNet network.

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 equipment.
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.

2-6 Installation and Wiring
Protecting the Circuit Board from Contamination
The printed circuit boards of analog modules must be protected from dirt, oil, moisture, and other airborne contaminants. To protect these boards, the system must be installed in an enclosure suitable for the environment. The interior of the enclosure should be kept clean and the enclosure door should be kept closed whenever possible.
Installing CompactBlock LDX I/O
Follow these steps to install the block:
1. Set the node address on the base block.
2. Mount the base block.
3. Wire the terminal blocks.
4. Connect the network cable.
These steps are explained in detail in the following procedures for both the 1790D-4T0/T4T0 DeviceNet and 1790P-T4T0 PROFIBUS DP modules.
Set the Node Address on the DeviceNet 1790D-4T0/T4T0 Base 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 modules 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 modules 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.)

Wiring the Module
ATTENTION
!
After the module is properly installed, follow the wiring procedure below, using the proper thermocouple extension cable, or Belden 8761 for non-thermocouple applications.
signal wire
signal wire
To wire your module follow these steps.
1. At each end of the cable, strip some casing to expose the
individual wires.
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.

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.

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.
