Information

Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions
Foxboro AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX supports mixed process-measurement duties through channel-specific sensor selection, including temperature, voltage, current and resistance measurements.
  • Provides two isolated analog input channels.
  • Accepts thermocouples with a suitable cold-junction terminal unit.
  • Supports two-, three- and four-wire resistance measurements.
  • Channel 2 has a high-impedance mode for zirconia-probe signals.

A thermocouple circuit uses the terminal-unit temperature for cold-junction compensation. Current measurement instead requires the appropriate shunt termination; changing software alone does not convert one terminal arrangement into the other.

Important Notice: Check the complete sensor-to-controller response before enabling automatic control from the restored measurement.

Foxboro AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX Manufacturer Technical Reference — Selected Pages (PDF)Foxboro AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX Installation & Commissioning Guide (PDF)

The manufacturer excerpt covers the module connection and operating principles. The installation guide provides a separate sequence for wiring and functional checks.

Thermocouple temperature
Acquire thermoelectric signals with the matching CJC termination.
Resistance thermometry
Measure an RTD using its selected lead arrangement.
Transmitter current
Acquire a current signal through the mA shunt terminal unit.
Zirconia measurement
Use the second channel high-impedance input in the configured probe application.
Prepare the affected circuits before installing Foxboro AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX.
1
Identify the sensor type on each input separately.
2
Match the terminal unit to thermocouple, current or resistance service.
3
Preserve thermocouple polarity and appropriate extension wire.
4
Retain the RTD lead configuration selected in the channel setup.
5
Include the current-input shunt in the transmitter voltage budget.
6
Reserve channel 2 for a required high-impedance signal.
7
Apply a stable reference before judging a fluctuating process reading.
8
Verify sensor type, scaling and alarm response before releasing the measurement.

Technical notes

Configure only ranges supported by the installed terminal unit. A selectable software range can still be unsuitable for the physical terminal hardware.

FAQ View All FAQ

  • Does selecting a current range make every terminal unit suitable for AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX?
    No. Current measurement requires the mA terminal unit with its shunt. The configured input type and the physical termination must agree.
  • Which input of AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX is intended for high-impedance zirconia signals?
    The special high-impedance input range is available on channel 2.
  • How is cold-junction temperature obtained when AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX measures a thermocouple?
    An RTD in the thermocouple terminal unit measures the local junction temperature used for compensation.
  • Can AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX accommodate a four-wire resistance thermometer?
    Yes. The resistance input supports two-, three- and four-wire connections when paired with the appropriate termination and configuration.
  • Why must thermocouple polarity be checked at AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX?
    Reversed polarity changes the sign of the sensed thermoelectric voltage and can produce an incorrect temperature response.
  • What is the burden used for current acquisition by AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX?
    The mA terminal unit uses a 5 Ω shunt. Include this burden when assessing the transmitter loop.
  • How can a temperature loop be checked after replacing AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX?
    Apply a suitable sensor simulator at several points within the configured span and compare the displayed temperature, including the selected linearization and cold-junction behavior.
  • Why can AI2 2500M/AI2/XXXXX/XXXXXX show the wrong physical value despite responding to an input?
    An incorrect sensor type, range or engineering scaling can convert a valid electrical signal into an incorrect process value. Check these settings against the connected sensor.
