Expansion module for temperature sensors with 3 inputs FLC18E-3PT100

Temperature Sensor Expansion Module – Precise Measurements and System Expansion

This expansion module, catalog number FLC18E-3PT100, is a key element in automation and control systems, especially where precise temperature readings are required. Designed to work with PT100 sensors, it allows you to increase the number of measurement points without the need to invest in additional PLC controllers. This is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable and scalable temperature monitoring system.

Functionality and Application

The FLC18E-3PT100 module offers three independent inputs for PT100 resistive sensors, allowing simultaneous temperature measurement at different points in the installation. Equipped with a voltage output, it transmits the collected data to a PLC controller or other data acquisition system. The use of screw/spring terminals ensures quick and secure cable mounting. This makes the module suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, such as:

• HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air conditioning)
• Process monitoring
• Quality control in production
• Warehouses and cold stores
• Safety systems – although the module is not intended for safety circuits, it can be used to monitor the operating conditions of devices.

Construction and Parameters

The module has a depth of 65 mm and is designed for mounting on a 35mm rail (standard DIN rail). The inability to configure analog inputs means a fixed assignment of inputs to PT100 sensors – which simplifies system configuration. The module's supply voltage is 12-24 V DC. It is important to note that the module does not have current, voltage or thermocouple inputs – its specialization is temperature measurement using PT100 sensors. The lack of analog outputs further confirms its dedicated function as an input module for temperature measurements.
