These all require a current supplied by the
CBXi-8R8(-H)
terminal so that this resistance can be measured.
The passive sensor types supported by the
CBXi-8R8(-H)
are:
•
Pre-programmed Passive Temperature Sensors.
•
Potentiometer (normally used as a 0 to 10 K
Ω
or a 1 K
Ω
to 11 K
Ω
variable resistor to give a 0 to 100 %
output).
•
Volt-Free Digital Input (the controller strategy measures the contact resistance and gives a
0
or
1
output).
•
Straightforward Resistance measurement. This can be used with the
Make Linear
block to give a
temperature output for temperature sensors that are not factory pre-programmed into the
CBXi-
8R8(-H)
.

simply select ‘
Resistance
’ sensor type in the
Point Module
and select
Pulsed
in the
Advanced
parameters (the
Pulsed
option increases accuracy by eliminating any self-heating in the passive
temperature sensor, while the
Continuous
option can trade absolute accuracy for speed).
In
Passive Input Mode
the

and Universal Inputs configure like this:
Note:
The reference voltage can be pulsed or continuous, using the solid state switch.
A pulsed reference gives optimum accuracy by eliminating self-heating in the sensor, and this is the
default setting.
