16 Channel PT100/Current
Multiplexer
RTM-8

Function: The RTM-8 is a 16 channel multiplexer with 8 channels for 3 wire PT100
sensors and 8 channels for two or four wire transmitter current inputs giving one
current output. Each of the PT100 input channels is a complete signal conditioner
with a DIP switch array for coarse setting, and, Span and Zero multi-turn
potentiometers for fine tuning on each channel. The RTM-8 is designed for
multiplexing a number of analogue signals into PLCs and processor based data
gathering devices. Channel selection is controlled by a four line address bus and an
Enable line. The RTM-8 is an all solid state instrument and transfer time for the
selected channel takes less than 20 microseconds.
As noted above, the RTM-8 has an ENABLE control line. When disabled the output is
in a High Z state allowing several RTM-8 units to be connected in parallel to the same
controller input. The units outputs would be tied together and addressed using the same address bus but with separate ENABLE lines
only one of which would be enabled at any one time. The period when the unit is disabled is used for self-testing, according to a selftest procedure which checks the units hardware.
