Replacement possibilities for PCD2.W5x0 and PCD3.W5x0 modules
FAQ #101151
In 2009 the combined analogue input and output modules PCD2.W5x0 and PCD3.W5x0 will be discontinued. This FAQ suggests possible replacement modules depending on the measured/given signals and the required resolution.
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.
