Determine the Module’s Chassis Power Requirement
When computing power supply requirements, add the values shown below to the
requirements of all other modules in the SLC
®
chassis to prevent overloading the chassis
power supply:
Choose a Module Slot in a Local I/O Chassis
Place your module in any slot of an SLC 500 TM module, or modular expansion chassis, except
for the left–most slot (slot 0), reserved for the SLC processor or adapter modules.
Installation Considerations
Most thermocouple–type applications require an industrial enclosure to reduce the effects of
electrical interference. Thermocouple inputs are highly susceptible to electrical noises due to
the small signal amplitudes (microvolt/C°). Isolate them from other input wiring and
modules that radiate electrical interference.
Group your modules within the I/O chassis to minimize adverse effects from radiated
electrical noise and heat. Consider the following conditions when selecting a slot location.
Position the module away from modules that:
• connect to sources of electrical noise such as relays and ac motor drives
• generate significant heat, such as 32–point I/O modules
