4-20 mA Loop Processing and Signal Isolation
The module processes standard 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA field transmitter inputs into linear 0-4 VDC output levels required by high-density analog input cards such as the SAI-1620m. Integrated power distribution per channel with 500 mA Schurter fuse protection ensures localized fault containment, preventing loop disturbances from affecting adjacent measurement channels or central processing backplane buses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the input resistance and conversion accuracy of the FC-TSGAS-1624 module?
A: The module provides an input resistance of 500 Ohm (+/-5%) and converts 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA field signals into a linear 0-4 VDC output with an accuracy of 0.1%.
Q: What are the wire gauge and tightening torque requirements for the power screw terminals?
A: Power screw terminals (A, B) accommodate a maximum wire size of 16 mm2 (AWG 6) with a 7 mm strip length and a tightening torque of 1.2 Nm (0.88 ft-lb). Standard signal terminals accept up to 2.5 mm2 (AWG 14) wire with a tightening torque of 0.2 Nm (0.17 ft-lb).
Field Installation Guidelines
- Mount the assembly onto TS32 or TS35 x 7.5 DIN rails using a minimum usable rail length of 220 mm (8.90 in).
- Terminate field wiring using stripped lengths of 7 mm, tightening signal screws to 0.2 Nm (0.17 ft-lb) and power supply terminals to 1.2 Nm (0.88 ft-lb).
- Verify external 24 VDC supply voltage levels and ensure installed Schurter 500 mAT fuses match operational derating curves between 25 deg C and 70 deg C ambient temperatures.
- Inspect all channel connections to verify proper signal mapping to the downstream SAI-1620m module before system power-up.
