FAQ

Q1: What types of temperature inputs can this module handle?
A1: It accepts both RTDs and thermocouples on all six channels, with full isolation—giving flexibility and precision per channel.

Q2: How accurate is temperature reading?
A2: Typically within ±1 °C, with a resolution around 0.1 °C—enabling fine-grained temperature control.

Q3: Can this be serviced while running?
A3: No—it must be inserted or removed only with the rack powered down to ensure safety.

Q4: Are the channels isolated from each other?
A4: Yes—the 136711‑01 I/O card provides full channel-to-channel isolation for clean measurements.

Q5: What is the weight and size?
A5: Roughly 0.9 kg total; dimensions fit a single 3500 rack slot at 241.3 × 24.4 × 163.1 mm.

Q6: What environment is it built for?
A6: Industrial use—operating between –30 °C and +65 °C, withstanding up to 95% non-condensing humidity.

Q7: Can I mix sensor types per channel?
A7: Yes—each channel can individually be set to RTD or thermocouple type via configuration.

Q8: Are redundancy options available?
A8: Yes—you can implement multiple modules for redundant configurations in critical systems.

Q9: What certifications apply?
A9: It’s industrial-grade and suitable for hazardous environments (ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 compliant).

Q10: Can alarm levels be adjusted?
A10: Yes—every channel supports two custom alarm thresholds, allowing graduated response levels.
