Engineers will appreciate the versatile input compatibility of the TSXAAK1. This adapter accepts PT100 and Ni1000 RTD sensors as well as potentiometer signals. Consequently, users can measure temperature, position, and resistance-based parameters with a single module.

Furthermore, the constant current excitation source delivers stable 0.5 mA to connected sensors. This precision current ensures accurate resistance-to-current conversion across the measurement range. The TSXAAK1 then outputs a standard 4-20 mA analog signal for the controller.

Interface and Signal Conditioning

The TSXAAK1 features a screw terminal block for straightforward field wiring. This terminal block accommodates wires from 0.2 to 1.5 mm². Each input channel includes built-in filtering to eliminate electrical noise from industrial environments.

The module provides signal conditioning that converts resistance variations directly to proportional current outputs. This conditioning eliminates the need for external transmitters in many applications. Engineers can mount the unit directly near sensors for optimal signal integrity.

Integration and System Compatibility

You can pair this resistor adapter with Modicon analog input modules. The TSXAAK1 connects seamlessly to standard 4-20 mA input channels on controllers. This compatibility allows users to add temperature measurement without replacing existing I/O infrastructure.

The module accepts 24V DC power from an external supply. It consumes only 2.5 watts during normal operation. For reference, other Modicon analog accessories share this same compact form factor and wiring scheme.

Installation and Operational Reliability

The TSXAAK1 mounts easily on standard DIN rails within control cabinets. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -25°C to +70°C. Diagnostic LEDs provide immediate visual confirmation of power status and signal activity. These indicators simplify troubleshooting and system verification.
