Component Details
The Allen Bradley RTD Module (1734-IR2E) is a temperature sensor module that is designed to provide precise temperature measurements in industrial automation environments. Electrical resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensors are used with this module, which consists of a platinum resistor enclosed in a protective ceramic insulator.
The RTD sensor provides output signals that are converted by the module into digital temperature readouts. The module communicates with the control system through a 12-bit analog input, and it supports both differential and direct-connect RTD types.
The 1734-IR2E module features a range of operating temperatures from -55 to 500°C, as well as accommodation for multiple RTDs with different resistances. The module is also compatible with a variety of input signals, including 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire configurations.
One unique feature of this module is its high accuracy of ±0.15°C in the range of -55 to 350°C, making it an ideal choice for temperature-sensitive industries such as pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and semiconductor manufacturing.
Application
The Allen Bradley RTD Module (1734-IR2E) is commonly applied in industrial processes where precise temperature control is necessary. This includes chemical processing, where the module can be used to measure the temperature of reactants, intermediate products and end products.
In food and beverage manufacturing, the module can be used to monitor the temperature of liquids, such as in water circulation systems for yogurt and dairy products. In the pharmaceutical industry, the module can be utilized to measure the temperature of critical substances during drug manufacturing processes.
The module is also suitable for use in semiconductor manufacturing, where temperature control is essential to the fabrication process. In fact, the 1734-IR2E has been designed to meet the requirements of the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) standards for semiconductor equipment.
Uses
Some of the specific uses of the Allen Bradley RTD Module (1734-IR2E) in industrial automation include:
– Temperature measurement in chemical reactors
– Temperature monitoring of various process streams in chemical processing
