5.3 Universal Analog Input Module
The universal analog input module can process
one or two inputs, as determined by the type of
option installed. A single channel input module
processes one analog input (Ai3) and has one con-
nector. A dual channel input module processes
two analog inputs (Ai3 and Ai4) and has two con-
nectors. A module can not be field upgraded from
single to dual input.
NOTE: For proper thermocouple operation in a
dual channel universal input module, both
removable connector plugs must be installed in
the module.
This option can process high-level, low-level, ther-
mocouple, resistive thermal device (RTD), fre-
quency, and pulse input types. The dual channel
version can also accept any mix of these input
types at both input connectors. Each input is proc-
essed independently, as 160 db isolation is pro-
vided . Input signal characterization and shaping
are also performed, such as data linearization, cold
junction compensation (CJC), first order digital fil-
tering, and engineering unit conversion.
The module plugs into the rear of the controller at
the 10 pin option slot A connector. It is secured to
the controller case with two screws. (See Figure
2-7.)
An installed universal analog input module loads its
status identification code in the conF-SYS-oPtA pa-
rameter, as described in Table 5-13 at the end of
this book section.
5.3.1 Universal Analog Input Module
Parameter Entries
Parameter entries for the module are listed in Ta-
bles 5-3 through 5-8. Configuring the module for
any of the input types (e.g., Type J thermocouple)
requires accessing information from only two of the
tables. Table 5-3 is referenced first to correlate the
prompt assigned to the input type, followed by one
of the remaining five tables for the specific parame-
ters associated with that input type. The prompts
that do appear when a universal analog input mod-
ule is selected in the conF menu of engineer mode
represent the last type input that was specified.
Selecting the type from Table 5-3 automatically
causes the appropriate parameter suite to replace
the previous one when the scroll forward/backward
push buttons are pressed. (See Section 3 for dis-
play panel procedures.)
