General Diagnostic Features
The RTD module contains diagnostic features that can be used to help you
identify the source of problems that may occur during power up or during
normal channel operation. These power-up and channel diagnostics are
explained in Chapter 6, Module Diagnostics and Troubleshooting.
The RTD module communicates to the SLC 500 processor through the
parallel backplane interface and receives +5V dc and +24V dc power from the
SLC 500 power supply through the backplane. No external power supply is
required. You may install as many RTD modules in your system as the power
supply can support, as shown in the illustration below.
