These two units are called G3F-RD3A and G4F-RD2A. The G3F-RD3A is an Pt input module used with the
CPU of GLOFA GM1/2/3 series and MASTER-K1000S series, and the G4F-RD2A is used with the CPU of
GM4 series and K 300S series Hereafter, the two units are called the RTD input module
The RTD input module is a module that converts the temperature data(°C) input by the Pt (Pt100 or JPt100)
into a signed 16 bit digital binary data and outputs it.
1.1 Features
1) With direct connection of the RTD input module, the temperature data(°C) can be converted into a digital
value to be processed in the PLC.
2) The temperature data(°C) input can be processed to one digit after the point as a digital value.
3) One module can be connected to G3F-RD3A 8-point or G4F-RD2A 4-point Pt100 or JPt100.
4) The RTD input module has Pt100, Jpt100 or cable burn-out function at their every channel.
5) The RTD input module detects the out-of-range temperature that is input by Pt100 or JPt100.

[Fig 1.1] Analog Value [Fig 1.2] Digital Value
The continuous changeable value such as voltage, current, temperature, velocity, pressure and flow is
called analog value. For example, temperature changes continuously with time as shown in Fig. 1.1. The
PLC can process that continuous changeable temperature by use of the RTD input module.
1.2.2 D - Digital Value

In Fig.1.2, the number of man can be counted as 0, 1, 2, 3. The non-continuous changeable value as such
is called a digital value. On and Off signals can be denoted as a digital value 0 and 1, respectively.

detection value
[Fig. 2.1] Temperature conversion characteristics( Pt100)
2.4.2 Conversion speed
The conversion speed of the RTD input module is 50 ms per channel and its processing is
processed sequentially, that is, one channel is processed and then another channel is
processed.
Processing time = 50 ms � the number of the used channels
Example) When three channels are used

Processing time = 50 ms � 3 = 150 ms
2.4.3 Accuracy
The accuracy of RTD input module is within ±0.5 % of all of the measurable temperature range.
Example) When the RTD Pt100 is used, the conversion values of –100°C and 400°C are as
below.
- Measurable temperature full range : 800°C (-200.0°C to 600.0°C)
- Accuracy : 800 �(±0.5%) = 800�(±0.005) = ±4°C
- Temperature conversion range : - 104 °C to – 96 °C when –100°C
396°C to 404°C when 400°C
2-5
2.4.4 Burn-out Detection Function
The RTD input module has the function of burn-out detection on the Pt100, JPt100 or cable.
1) As shown in the Fig. 2.2, if disconnection occurs in the RTD or cable then a voltage outside the
measurable range voltage is inputted by the internal burn-out detection circuit and burn-out detection
error code is generated.
2) The RTD input module can detect disconnection for each channel. But, burn-out detection is possible
only in the channels enabled.
3) If disconnection is detected in two or more wires, first, disconnection error code is generated by ‘b’ and
then disconnection error code is generated by ‘A’ or ‘b’ sequentially. If disconnection is detected
simultaneously in ‘A’ and ‘B’, only disconnection error code is generated by ‘b’.

3.1 Installation
3.1.1 Installation Ambience
This module has high reliability regardless of its installation environment, but be sure to check the
following for system reliability and stability.
1) Ambience requirements
Avoid installing this unit in locations which are subjected or exposed to :
- Water leakage and dust.
- Continuous shocks or vibrations.
- Direct sunlight.
- Dew condensation due to rapid temperature change.
- Higher or lower temperatures outside the range of 0 to 55 °C
2) Precautions during installing and wiring.

- During drilling or wiring, do not allow any wire scraps to enter into the PLC.
- Install it on locations that are convenient for operation.
- Make sure that it is not located on the same panel that high voltage equipment located.
- Make sure that the distance from the walls of duct and external equipment be 50 mm or more.
- Be sure to be grounded to locations that have good ambient noise immunity.
3.1.2 Handling Precautions
From unpacking to installing the RTD input module, be sure to check the following:
1) Do not drop it off, and make sure that strong shock should not be applied.
2) Do not unload the PCB from its case. It can cause faults.
3) During wiring, be sure to check any foreign matter like wire scraps should not enter into the upper side
of the PLC. If any foreign matter has entered into it, always eliminate it.
4) Do not load or unload the module while the power supply is being connected.
3-1
3.2 Wring Precautions
1) When connecting Pt with the RTD input module, refer to the Chapter 2.5 for wiring.
2) Be sure to separate the external input signal of the RTD input module from an alternating current so
that surge or induction noise generated from the alternating current could not effect.
3) When wiring, locating this unit too near from high temperature generating devices or materials or
contacting it with the material like oil can cause short-circuit and occur damage or disorder.
4) When wiring to the terminal block, wiring with high-pressure wire or power supply wire can occur flow
inhibition and cause disorder or malfunction.

1) This area performs sampling processing of the temperature value that is input through the RTD
connected to the terminal block of a channel and stores the value of 10 times of the real temperature
value.
REMARK
If a real temperature is 123.4°C the stored value is 1234. But, 123.4 is displayed on the G3F-RD3A
LED display
2) The followings show the configuration of each address.
3) If the temperature conversion specification of a channel is changed from enable into disable the
detected temperature value before the change remains.
6.2.4 Digital Conversion Value

(G3F-RD3A : Address 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28 and 31, G4F-RD2A : Address 6, 9, 12 and 15)
1) A temperature value that is input through the RTD connected to the terminal block of a channel is
represented as a value between -2000 to 6000 and then the converted value is stored. The converted
value stored is called digital conversion value.
2) A digital conversion value that has been converted into a value between 0 to 16000 can be directly
used as a process value of the PID control module.
3) The digital conversion value and the detected temperature value have the following arithmetic relation.
Digital conversion value = (Detected temperature value + 2000) X 2
REMARK
If a real temperature is 123.4°C, then the detected temperature value is 1234 and the digital
conversion value is 6468 since the item of the detected temperature value in the expression
(Detected temperature value + 2000) x 2 should be replaced with 1234.
4) If the temperature conversion specification of a channel is changed from enable into disable the digital

(1) Specifying used channel : channel 0

The present A/D conversion value of the detected temperature value, which is detected from the RTD

temperature value is a negative value

The lamp turns on disconnection occurs
RTD(Pt100) The lamp turns on if the detected

temperature value is a negative value
2) Initial Settings

3) Expression for Conversing the Detected Temperature Value into a Fahrenheit Temperature
Value(°F)
Detected temperature value = real temperature × 10
Fahrenheit temperature value (°F) = real temperature × 1.8 + 32
= detected temperature value × 1.8
+ 32
10
= detected temperature value × 18 × 320
10
∴If the BCD digital display displays the value of (real Fahrenheit (°F) temperature × 10) then program
has to process the calculation of “detected temperature value × 18 + 320”.
(1) If P0000 turns on, the RTD input module is initialized.

(2) The detected temperature value is displayed to P0030 to P0043 of the BCD digital display,. If the
value is negative value the ramp P0052 turns on.
(3) The detected temperature value is converted to a Fahrenheit temperature value (°F) and displayed
to P0060 to P0073 of the BCD digital display,. If the value is negative the ramp P0050 turns on.
(4) If disconnection is detected during temperature conversion of channel 0, the ramp P0051 turns on.
