1.0 INTRODUCTION
The products described in this manual are manufactured or
distributed by Reliance Electric Industrial Company.
The MultibusrĆcompatible Current Analog Input module
(M/N 61C540A) allows you to connect sixteen 4Ć20mA current input
signals to AutoMater, AutoMaxr, and DCS 5000 systems. The current
input signals may be generated from process control sensors,
transmitters, transducers, or drive controllers.
The module converts the input signals into digital values which are
then available for use by the application program. Input circuit
calibration is automatic. Parameters such as alarm limits and number
of samples are userĆconfigurable. Default configuration values are
provided at powerĆup.
The module can be used in both local and remote racks. An external
power supply is required for the current input transmitters.
This manual describes the functions and specifications of the Current
Input module M/N 61C540A or earlier. The information in this manual
is applicable to all versions of the module unless noted otherwise.
See Appendix F. This manual also includes installation and
troubleshooting procedures, as well as configuration and
programming information.
