Descripution

The Allen Bradley 1746-BTM is a Barrel Temperature Control Module for the SLC 500 system. It is an intelligent I/O module that accommodates 4 zones of autotuned heat/cool PID loops for temperature control applications. Each of its 4 analog inputs functions as the controlled variable (C) for a PID loop. For each of the loops, a tuning-assisted process (TAP) algorithm and a PID algorithm are performed on the module; the manipulated variable (M) output of each loop, either as a numeric value or as a time-proportioned output (TPO) signal is sent from the module to the SLC processor’s data table. A ladder logic can send either the TPO signal to a digital output module or the M numeric value to an analog output module to close the loop.
