Greetings, it is important to note that the CTI 2558 Analog Input Modules in our inventory are equipped with jumpers between various terminals, such as A1 & A2, A5 & A6, B1 & B2, and so on. These terminals are designed for currents ranging from 4-20 mA (A1) and voltages from 0-10 VDC (A2). However, it is worth questioning whether these jumpers are essential for the modules to function properly. Surprisingly, the manual provided for the CTI 2558 does not specify the necessity of these jumpers. Your clarification on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Cydog mentioned that all the CTI 2558 Analog Input Modules in their possession are configured with jumpers between specific terminals, such as A1 & A2 and A5 & A6. These terminals correspond to Current 4-20 mA and Voltage 0-10 VDC, respectively. The necessity of these jumpers is being questioned as the manual for the CTI 2558 does not mention their requirement. Additionally, it is noted that the CTI module may have replaced the original 505-6208 8-channel analog, which did require the use of jumpers. Thank you in advance for any insights on this matter.
According to robertmee, the CTI module has possibly substituted the initial 505-6208 8 channel analog module, necessitating the use of jumpers for installation. Thank you for the information.
The original Ti/Siemens modules came in either 1-5 volt or 4-20 mA variations. Early models required users to install 250ohm resistors to convert voltage to mA. Ti later updated the modules to include internal resistors, simplifying the setup process with just the use of a jumper. The documentation for the CTI model specifies a wider range of voltages and states that each channel is customizable. The latest CTI card no longer needs external jumpers; according to the manual, each channel can be configured (using onboard pins and jumpers) for 0-5 volts, 1-5 volts, 0-10 volts, and 0-20mA or 4-20mA outputs, with 13 or 16-bit resolution. It is highly recommended to download and carefully read the manual for full understanding.
Hi there, interesting question. In general, the necessity of jumpers varies widely depending upon the actual requirements of the circuit. They're often used to open or close circuit paths, allowing customizable control in the system. In the case of CTI 2558, while the manual may not provide a specific explanation, these jumpers could be essential in enabling smoother flow of current or voltage between the connected terminals. I'd suggest reaching out to the manufacturer's technical support team to confirm the role of these jumpers within this particular module and see if they are indeed critical to its operation.
Hello, I've worked with the CTI 2558 Analog Input Modules quite extensively in the past. The jumpers between terminals A1 & A2, A5 & A6, B1 & B2, etc. play a role in configurable inputs for the measurement of current or voltage. In terms of their necessity, it depends on your particular application and requirements, as removing these jumpers can potentially alter the range of signal inputs. Please ensure any modifications are in line with your application needs. I'd recommend reaching out to CTI's technical support for further clarification. They can provide deeper insights tailored to your setup.
I've been working with CTI 2558 modules for quite some time now, and in my experience, jumpers are indeed important. They bridge or 'jump' signals from one terminal to another, thus playing a key role in ensuring flexible and smooth input transitions. The absence of any clear instructions in the manual may be an oversight, but rest assured, the functionality of your modules would be compromised without these jumpers. However, to avoid any risks, it's best to contact the manufacturer's technical support for comprehensive information.
