Replacement possibilities for PCD2.W5x0 and PCD3.W5x0 modules

FAQ #101151

 

Replacement modules for PCD2/3.W5x0
The table below contains possible replacement modules for the discontinued PCD2.W1xx modules (all PCD2.W1xx had 4 input channels and 12 bit resolution).

Module	Characteristics	Replacement	Characteristics	Remark
W500	2 input 12 bit; 0..10 V, ±10 V 2 outputs 12 bit; 0..10V, ±10 V	W525	4 inputs 14 bit;   - 0..10 V   - or 0..20 mA / 4..20 mA   - or Pt1000, Pt500 or Ni1000 2 outputs 12 bit;   - 0..10 V   - or 0..20 mA / 4..20 mA	galvanic separation
		W325	7 inputs 12 bit; ±10 V	galvanic separation
		W625	6 outputs 10 bit; ±10 V	galvanic separation
		W610	4 outputs 12 bit; ±10 V, 0..20mA
W510	2 input 12 bit; 0..20 mA, -20..0 mA, ±20 mA 2 outputs 12 bit; 0..10V, ±10 V	W525	4 inputs 14 bit;   - 0..10 V   - or 0..20 mA / 4..20 mA   - or Pt1000, Pt500 or Ni1000 2 outputs 12 bit;   - 0..10 V   - or 0..20 mA / 4..20 mA	galvanic separation
		W625	6 outputs 10 bit; ±10 V	galvanic separation
		W610	4 outputs 12 bit; ±10 V, 0..20mA

Please note

• The W5x0 modules can not be replaced by other analogue input/output modules without adapting the user program of the according PCD! The FBoxes (or the IL code) for reading the analogue inputs need to be replaced with the FBox/IL code for the replacement module!
• There is no replacement for the ±20 mA input of the PCD2.W510 due to a very low demand. In case such a signal is to be measured we recommend applying an external converter of this input signal. 

Repair service for PCD2/3.W5x0
PCD2/3.W5x0 modules will be repaired by Saia Burgess Controls until end of 2014.
