Messung Systems
The module provides eight analog to digital channels for RTD input. CPU bus is optically isolated from ADC circuit. The analog to digital converter operates on serial data from the channels. RTD input sensor signal measurement is basically a resistance measurement which varies with temperature. For the same, module provides 1 mA excitation current to sensor. The dual matched current source is multiplexed for eight channel inputs. The enabled channel input signals are multiplexed and then instrumentation amplifier carries out amplification. Input electronic circuit provides the lead compensation. For more details, refer chapter 2.3. Amplified lead compensated input signal is provided to ADC. Sigma-delta (/ ) ADC converts only enabled analog channels to digital value one by one. On-board processor manipulates the converted count for each channel. It has following functions. Scaling Linearization Averaging Thus lead compensated, scaled and linearized temperature reading is transferred to module memory, which holds channel data information. If averaging is required, depending on the averaging count, on-board processor performs averaging of those many previous readings and updates channel data information. The channels can be independently enabled or disabled. On-board processor detects signals, which are out of range of selected input type. It also detects sensor faults. All this information is available to main CPU. The module provides auto-calibration facility to compensate for changes in excitation current due to ambient temperature. The dynamic configuration, static configuration, data, status information is available in dual port RAM on the module. The configuration of all channels is transferred to the module memory using WRITE_W function in the application program. Similarly data and status of all channels can be read by READ_W function in the application program. The module requires external 24 V for ADC circuit operation. Internally DC-to-DC converter generates 15 VDC and + 5 VDC as required by each channel. If 24 VDC is absent or on-board glass fuse is blown, module generates 'No 24 V Supply' signal for main CPU. The fuse protection for external 24 VDC supply is provided on module.
2.2 RTD types and range of temperatures

This section describes the RTD types and data range of temperatures supported by module. In current version, PT100 (385) is supported.
Type PT 100 (385) Resistance values 18.49 to 390.26 C temperature range -200.0 C to +850.0 C

2.3 Lead Compensation

RTD input measurement is basically sensor resistance measurement which changes with temperature. The sensor resistance is low and lead wires can add to the actual resistance of the sensor. This causes noticeable offset in actual reading. This offset varies depending upon change in lead wire resistance due to length, temperature, aging, etc. So it is necessary to eliminate effect of lead wire resistance in measurement. In RTD input module, lead compensation is provided by using 3 wire PT 100 sensor input with proper electronic circuit. The bridge is formed by dual matched current source and 3 wires PT100 sensor. The schematic of input circuit is shown below.
PT100 Sensor Excitation Current Multiplexer RL I I Channel Multiplexer V1 Instrumentation Amplifier To ADC RL RL V2
Figure 3 :Schematic of input circuit RL Lead resistance R - Sensor resistance As dual matched current sources are used, both follow each other keeping current equal. It is also assumed that lead wire resistance for three wires is equal. V1 = I (2RL+R) V2 = I (2RL) V = (V1V2) =IR =R (as I =1 mA )
From above equations, it can be observed that effect of lead wire resistance (RL) is eliminated and the voltage V is direct indication of sensor resistance (R).As explained in chapter 2.1, excitation current source is multiplexed for all the eight channels and eight sensor input signals are multiplexed to a ADC. The voltage V which is direct indication of sensor resistance is amplified by instrumentation amplifier and inputed to ADC for conversion.

2.4 On-Board Processor Operations

The RTD input module is an intelligent module with on-board processor. The functions of on-board processor are explained in below sections.
2.4.1 Power On Operations

After power ON, if 24 V supply to module is absent or on-board fuse is blown then on-board processor sets Ix.0 bit of input image. After power ON, this processor checks the hardware called as self test. During selftest and if hardware error is detected, Ix.0 bit of input image is set. Also CPU fault LED on front panel is put ON indicating that module is not accessible. During module operation, if module hardware is found faulty or watchdog error is detected, Ix.0 bit is set. If the module hardware is OK, Ix.0 bit is cleared. Module waits for static and dynamic configuration from the CPU module. After reception of valid configuration of RTD input channels, the module starts sampling and digital conversion cycle of enabled channels. For more details of IO image of module, refer chapter 2.9. The module continues sampling, converting the channels and updating module memory even after the PLC is put in STOP mode. But In this case, CPU module does not read the channel data and status.
2.4.2 Analog to Digital Conversion

The module samples a RTD input channel and converts lead compensated input to its digital value one by one. After power ON, first reference channel signal is sampled and conversion is started. For reference channel, on-board highly precise and stable resistor of 100 ohms is used as input. After that only enabled channels are converted as shown in the figure 4. If any error like invalid configuration is detected, channel is not converted. The disabled channels or channels with error detected are bypassed retaining earlier values. After one channel conversion, module initiates next channel conversion. During this conversion period, module processes converted data of previous channel. This process includes scaling, linearization and averaging. Thus the processed data for previous channel is made available during this period. After converting all healthy channels, processed data and status information of all the channels is transferred to respective memory area on the module. This cycle continues. Thus when the processor module performs READ_W operation, it reads either old or new information i.e. data and status of channels

Channel 1 disabled / error detection Channel 1 Conversion
Update all channel data and status
Channel 7 Conversion Channel 7 disabled / error detection
Figure 4 :ADC Conversion Cycle The module takes certain time to sample all enabled channels and convert into digital value. The required time is the module update time. The factors affecting module update time is number of channels enabled. The module update time is minimum when only one channel is enabled. Likewise the module update time is maximum when all channels are enabled. The module incorporates a digital low pass filter to reject noise on the input signal. For RTD inputs, it is fixed to 50 Hz. It provides better noise rejection for low filter frequencies.
2.4.3 Excitation Current Drift Compensation

As explained in chapter 2.3, excitation current has major effect on measurement. Drift in excitation current (1 mA) may occur due to change in ambient temperature, component aging, etc. This will create significant offset in measurement. So it is necessary to compensate effect of drift in excitation current. In 8 channels RTD input module, excitation current drift compensation is achieved by flexible software method. As explained in chapter 2.4.2, module always samples a default reference channel. On-board highly precise and stable resistor (100 ohms) input is provided as a channel input. In case of any drift in excitation current, proportional change in input signal to ADC is observed for this channel. This change in input signal is direct indication of change in excitation current. This offset is noted and then compensated for RTD input channels by software during analog to digital conversion cycle. This compensated count is then scaled, linearized further.
Messung Systems
2.4.4 Scaling
The resistance signal from RTD sensors is scaled for equivalent temperature as per reference tables provided by standards. For the same, refer appendix 1.
2.4.5 Linearization
RTD signals are not linear e.g. 10 percent change in a RTD voltage does not correspond to a 10 percent change in its temperature. Therefore linearization of RTD signal is necessary to get equivalent temperature. Also, each RTD input type requires different linearization. In RTD input module linearization is performed by flexible software methods. This is done with look up table in steps of 10 C for each RTD input type. ADC count is mapped within its 10 C temperature range and equivalent temperature is calculated using linear interpolation method.
2.4.6 Averaging
The module provides user selectable averaging facility so that stable value is available for processing and necessary control action. The module samples and converts enabled channels one by one. The module keeps digital value into different memory locations. Depending on the averaging count, the module performs averaging of those many previous readings and updates channel data information. Thus if the averaging counts of channel 0, 1 and 2 are 1, 4 and 8 respectively, then initially data of channel 0, 1 and 2 are updated after 1, 4 and 8 conversion cycles respectively. After that, it gets updated in every cycle. One conversion cycle means sampling and converting all enabled channels as explained in chapter 2.3.2. Thus combination of filter frequency and averaging count can be selected to get optimum channel update time and stable temperature reading.

Figure 6 :Memory Mapping of RTD Input Module The configuration (grouped as static and dynamic) from PLC variable area e.g. memory or page is transferred to module memory when WRITE_W function gets executed in application program i.e. in logic scan. The module takes action on static configuration information only when static configuration write command is issued. This can be issued by setting Qx.0 bit of output image. In case of dynamic configuration information, the module detects any change in configuration and if any valid change is detected, it takes appropriate action. After power ON, module starts its channel conversion operation only after receiving valid configuration. If channel configuration is modified or channel is enabled / disabled, it takes effect only in the subsequent conversion cycle. The channel configuration can be modified using WRITE_W function. Similarly channel can be enabled or disabled during normal operation for optimum results. The channel temperature readings and status information can be read from the module using READ_W function.

If 'IMM_OUT' function is executed in logic scan for a particular slot, it stops current logic scan, executes output scan for defined slot and resumes logic scan again. This is useful when ever immediate updation of output image is needed. The functions of output image bits are given below

4.1 Slot Configuration

The RTD input module provides eight RTD input channels, which can be independently operated. Configuring the slot for RTD input module is just like any other discrete IO module only. The programming and documentation software DOXMINI+ is used for configuration and programming. The module consumes 1 byte of input image and 1 byte of output image. The input image is used for reading status of module. The output image is used for writing user commands to module. For more details, refer chapter 2.4.3 and 2.4.4.

4.2 Channel Configuration

The RTD input module can be configured in any slot of PLC. It provides eight non-isolated channels. These channels can be independently configured for different types of RTD inputs. The channel configuration is grouped in two types Static configuration This information decides basic functioning of a channel. Normally, this information is not altered in run time e.g. type of RTD. Dynamic configuration This information does not affect basic functioning of channel. This information is changed during run time e.g. high and low set points for temperature reading.
4.2.1 Static Configuration

After power ON, the configuration of one or more channels can be transferred to the module using WRITE_W function. The global variables, memory or page can be used to hold channel configuration. The channel static configuration information includes RTD input type Filter frequency (fixed to 50 Hz for RTD inputs) Return value on sensor fault and Averaging This information is transferred to module memory by using 'WRITE_W function. The module takes action on this information when static configuration write command is issued (on rising edge of Qx.0 bit). After that only static configuration or change in static configuration is effective. This static configuration information is to be stored in bit form in one word for each channel. The following table gives information to be stored. The valid combination of bits must be set. Module memory words MMW #96 to MMW #110 are module memory words for static configuration.

Input type The RTD input module supports different types of inputs. The inputs include 3 wires PT100 (385) Bit 0 to bit 4 hold input type information. Filter frequency Next three Bits, Bit 5 to bit 7 defines the low-pass filter frequency. For RTD input module, 50 Hz filter is fixed by default. User has no selection choice.
Bit 7 0 Bit 6 0 Bit 5 0 Filter Frequency Update time for a Channel 50 Hz 60 ms
This is in built function of ADC. The filter frequency affects noise rejection on incoming RTD signal. Also it affects channel update time. Return value on sensor fault circuit Next two bits, bit 8 and bit 9 define the value of the channel temperature reading when sensor fault is detected for that channel. Here sensor fault means sensor open circuit, sensor short circuit and lead compensation wires open circuit.
Bit9 0 0 1 1 Bit8 0 1 0 1 Sensor Fault value Zero Upper scale Lower scale Invalid
In such sensor fault condition, the channel value can be set to any one of above options considering safety in control action. Averaging Next two Bits, Bit10 and Bit 10 define the selection of sampling value for averaging.

If the averaging counts of channel 0, 1 and 2 are 1, 4 and 8 respectively, then initially data of channel 0, 1 and 2 are updated after 1, 4 and 8 conversion cycles respectively. After that, it gets updated in every cycle. One conversion cycle means sampling and converting all enabled channels as explained in chapter 2.3.2. Module memory words MMW #0 to MMW #32 are module memory words for dynamic configuration. MMW #0 is a channel enable / disable word. MMW #2 to MMW #32 provides high and low set points for individual channels.
4.2.2 Dynamic Configuration

The channel dynamic configuration information includes Channel enable/ disable Channel high and low set points This information is transferred to module memory by using 'WRITE_W function. The module detects change in dynamic configuration information in its own scan. If valid change is detected, appropriate action is initiated and dynamic configuration or change in dynamic configuration is effective in consecutive scan. Channel Enable The eight bits in module memory word MMW #0 defines the enable status of the all the channels. If it is 0 channel is disabled and if it is 1 channel is enable. The module samples only enabled channels and converts into digital value. The channel data for disabled channels is forced to zero. Thus enabling only used channels can minimize the module update time. If a particular channel is important at particular instance, all other channels can be disabled temporarily and only one channel conversion can be carried out to get fast response.

Valid range for high and low set points is 200.0 C to 800.0 C for PT 100 input type. If settings are not within range of that input type, Ixx.1 bit is set indicating invalid configuration. Refer MMW #148 to point out faulty channel configuration. If high set point for a channel is less than that of low set point and vice versa, Ixx.1 bit is made ON indicating parameter mismatch. Refer MMW #148 to point out faulty channel configuration. MMW #34 to MMW #94 are reserved and should not be used.
4.3 Channel Information

For the configured channels, necessary information is available as channel data and status bits. This is explained in details below.
4.3.1 Channel Data

Module memory words MMW #128 to MMW #142 are module memory words for channel temperature readings. This is nothing but ambient temperature. The temperature reading resolution is 0.1 C. For enabled channels, this information is updated cyclically in module. The data is read and stored using READ_W function in application program.
RTD Type PT 100 (385) C Temperature range -200.0 C to 850.0 C
4.3.2 Channel Status

Channel status information is available in MMW #146 to MMW #152 in bit form as follows. Channel high and low set point status MMW #146 stores high and low limit status of individual channels.

The data in PLC variables is transferred to the RTD input module when 'WRITE_W' function is executed. The data in the PLC variables can be updated using functions like 'MOV_W', arithmetic or any other functions. The data from RTD input module memory can be transferred to PLC variables when 'READ_W' function is executed. The WRITE_W function below shows data transfer from the CPU module's memory to RTD input module memory. The details of transfer are RTD input module is configured in slot 2 of PLC Start address of memory on the CPU module is MW50 Length of data area to be transferred is 8 words Address on the RTD input module in slot 2 is #96

So 8 words (MMW128 to MMW142) information on RTD input module fitted in slot #2 are transferred to the CPU memory words (MW100 to MW114). Example of basic application program is given below. For the same, refer Nexgen PLC configuration shown in chapter 4.1. In the configuration, following points are to be noted.
Messung Systems
I 8.0 is a module status bit as 'Module Not OK' bit. I8.0 is set if 24 VDC supply to module is not healthy and / or hardware fault, watchdog fault is observed on module. I 8.1 is a configuration status bit as 'Invalid Configuration' bit. I 8.1 is set if for one or more channels, configuration is invalid. I 8.2 is a maximum minimum set point status bit as 'Set point Exceeded' bit. I 8.2 is set if for one or more configured channels, input signal is below or above limits set. I 8.3 is a RTD input range status bit as 'Out of Range' bit. I 8.3 is set if for one or more configured channels, input signal is below or above specified range. I 8.4 is a open circuit status bit as 'Sensor Fault ' bit. I 8.4 is set if for one or more configured channels, input is not connected. Q 8.0 is a command for 'Static Configuration Write'. When this bit is set by user, RTD input module accepts static configuration available in module memory words MMW#96 to MMW#110 and configures the module accordingly. S 4.2 is a 'Module Error' bit for the module fitted in slot 2. While developing the application program, first check whether the module is healthy. For the same, check 'Module Error' bit S 4.2 and 'Module Not Ok' bit I8.0. If any bit is set, declare respective fault. In this case, module is not accessible. If both are OFF, then only enable 'WRITE_W' and 'READ_W' functions for RTD input module. The static configuration information consists of basic attributes like return value in case of sensor fault of input signal (zero, upper scale, lower scale) and no. of averaging samples ( 0, 4, 8, 16 ). This configuration is to be transferred to module memory MMW#96 to MMW#110, if all the 8 channels are used. In this example, channels are configured for PT 100 50 Hz filter Return value is of upper scale in case of sensor fault No. of averaging samples is 4 For this configuration, the value $0900 should be written to respective module memory word.
