Features:
- EH-PT4 accepts four Pt100 or Pt1000 resistance-temperature inputs.
- Signed 15-bit conversion covers selectable -20 to +40°C and -50 to +400°C ranges.
- H7FFF marks out-of-range measurements and wire-break conditions.
The front assembly combines a lock button, I/O cover, removable terminal block and range-setting switch.
After the CPU recognizes the installed EH-PT4 and its I/O assignment matches the user program, the controller receives the module's input information.
Four channel terminal groups connect to A, B and b points, while terminals 9 and 18 supply the external 24 V DC path.
The Hitachi EH-PT4 RTD Input Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
Sensor and channel selection
- Sensor types: The input circuit accepts platinum Pt100 and Pt1000 resistance-temperature elements.
- Channel count: Four measurement points are converted into four temperature values.
- Range switch: Switch settings select the RTD type and the corresponding -20 to +40°C or -50 to +400°C span.
- Excitation method: Temperature measurement uses a 2 mA constant-current system.
Terminal and cable arrangement
- Field connector: Input signals terminate on a removable M3 screw terminal block.
- Channel terminals: A0-A3, B0-B3 and b0-b3 identify the four RTD wiring groups.
- External power: Terminals 9 and 18 connect the 24 V DC positive and negative supply.
- Cable boundary: Shielded cable is specified, with 400 Ω maximum total external wiring resistance across four values.
Conversion and controller exchange
- Data format: Each temperature result is represented as signed 15-bit conversion data.
- Update cycle: The module converts approximately four input values per second.
- CPU allocation: The EH-PT4 I/O assignment is X4W in the controller program.
- Signal function: Built-in linearization converts RTD resistance into temperature data.
Validity and isolation checks
- Low limit: A temperature value at or below -51°C produces H7FFF.
- High limit: A temperature value at or above 410°C produces H7FFF.
- Open wiring: A wire-break condition makes the affected conversion value H7FFF.
- Isolation: Inputs are photocoupler-isolated from the internal circuit but not isolated from one another.
