4. Setup u Wiring

Proper wiring is crucial for the correct operation of the PTA8D08 module. Ensure all connections are secure before applying power.

4.1. PT100 Sensor Wiring

The module supports both 2-wire and 3-wire PT100 sensors. Refer to the diagrams below for correct wiring.

4.1.1. 3-Wire PT100 Probe Wiring

Connect the red wire of the 3-wire probe to the P+ terminal. The other two wires of the same color should be connected to the P- and GND terminals. The specific order of P- and GND for these two wires does not matter.

Figure 5: 3-Wire PT100 Wiring Diagram

4.1.2. 2-Wire PT100 Probe Wiring

Connect the red wire of the 2-wire probe to the P+ terminal. The blue wire should be connected to both the P- and G terminals.

4.2. RS485 Bus Wiring

The PTA8D08 module communicates via RS485. Multiple modules can be cascaded on a single bus. Ensure proper termination resistors are used if necessary, especially for longer bus lengths or high baud rates.

4.2.1. PC to Multiple Modules Wiring

Connect the RS485 A+ and B- lines from your PC's RS485 adapter to the corresponding terminals on the first module. Then, daisy-chain the A+ and B- lines to subsequent modules. Power each module with a DC 8-30V supply.

4.2.2. PLC to Multiple Modules Wiring

Similar to PC wiring, connect the RS485 A+ and B- lines from your PLC to the first module, then daisy-chain to others. Provide DC 8-30V power to each module.

5. Operazzjoni

The PTA8D08 module communicates using the MODBUS RTU protocol. It supports 03 read commands for data acquisition and 06 or 16 write commands for configuration.

5.1. Protokoll MODBUS RTU

The module operates with a default serial port baud rate of 9600, N, 8, 1 (9600 baud, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit). You can modify the 485 address to cascade up to 247 modules on a single bus. For detailed information on the MODBUS RTU protocol commands and register addresses, please refer to the 'PTA8D08 8CH PT100 RS485 sensor protocol' document (not provided in this manual, please contact the manufacturer for this document).

5.2. Kejl tat-Temperatura

The module can read both the temperature value and the raw PT100 resistance value from the connected sensors. The temperature measurement accuracy is 1%.

6. Manutenzjoni

The PTA8D08 module is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure longevity:

• Tindif: Żomm il-modulu nadif u ħieles mit-trab u l-fdalijiet. Uża drapp artab u niexef għat-tindif. Evita li tuża likwidi jew prodotti tat-tindif li joborxu.
• Kundizzjonijiet Ambjentali: Operate the module within its specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, or corrosive environments.
• Integrità tal-Konnessjoni: Periodically check all wiring connections (power, RS485, and sensor) to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or inaccurate readings.
• Provvista tal-Enerġija: Tiżgura l-provvista tal-enerġija voltage remains within the DC 8-30V range. Fluctuations outside this range can damage the module.
