OVERVIEW
The 140 AUI 040 00sc is a universal analog input module with 16 channels of input.
The module will accept voltage, current, resistance, thermocouple and RTD inputs. The voltage, current,
resistance and thermocouple inputs are divided into four groups of four inputs each. RTD inputs are divided
into 4 groups of 2 inputs each. Any combination of inputs may be used so long as they are configured on a
group basis. Each input has 12.5V of isolation from the other inputs. All inputs have 1000V DC isolation
channel-to-backplane.
This module has been designed for projects that include large quantities of analog and temperature inputs.
Process control and data acquisition applications for industries such as utilities, waste water, oil and gas, food
and beverage, and building automation are ideally suited for this module.
Input channels include over voltage circuit protection, over and under range detection and active notch
filtering. The modulde has open circuit detection for thermocouple inputs and both open and short circuit
detection for RTD inputs. The voltage mode of the module handles eight different voltage ranges and the
current mode handles three current ranges. Eight types of thermocouple inputs are supported. Sixteen types
of RTD inputs and four resistance input ranges are supported. You can configure the module to provide data in
one of four data formats. Set up of the module is very simple through the use of configuration and status
registers using Concept, Modsoft or Taylor programming software.
