IO-PT400 – Unitronics 4 PT100/NI100 inputs module
MPN: IO-PT400
Alt. SKU: IOPT400
Why Choose the Unitronics IO-PT400 Temperature Input Expansion Module?
The Unitronics IO-PT400 is a dedicated temperature input expansion module designed for use with compatible Unitronics Vision™ and OPLC PLC controllers. It provides four RTD temperature inputs, enabling accurate monitoring and control of temperature-dependent processes within industrial automation systems.
The module supports widely used RTD sensor types including Pt100, Ni100 and Ni120, allowing integration with many industrial temperature measurement systems. It connects to the PLC through a dedicated I/O expansion adapter, allowing additional temperature inputs to be added without replacing the base controller.
Designed for reliability in control cabinets, the IO-PT400 can be mounted on a standard 35 mm DIN rail or screw-mounted onto a panel. It provides stable temperature data acquisition that can be used for process monitoring, alarm handling and closed-loop control within PLC programs.
