Preface
P–6
resistance of metals increases with temperature. When a small current is
applied to the RTD, it creates a voltage that varies with temperature. This
voltage is processed and converted by the RTD module into a temperature
value.
sampling time – The time required by the A/D converter to sample an input
channel.
status word – Contains status information about the channel’s current
configuration and operational state. You can use this information in your
ladder program to determine whether the channel data word is valid.
step response time – This is the time required for the A/D input signal to
reach 100% of its expected final value, given a large step change in the input
signal.
update time – The time required for the module to sample and convert the
input signals of all enabled input channels and make the resulting data values
available to the SLC processor.
The following conventions are used throughout this manual:
•
Bulleted lists such as this one provide information, not procedural steps.
