2.2 ADAM-5017 8-channel analog input module
The ADAM-5017 is a 16-bit, 8-channel analog differential input module that provides programmable input ranges on all channels. It accepts millivolt inputs (±150mV, ±500mV), voltage inputs (±1V, ±5V and ±10V) and current input (±20 mA, requires 125 ohms resistor). The module provides data to the host computer in engineering units (mV, V or mA). This module is an extremely cost-effective solution for industrial measurement and monitoring applications. Its opto-isolated inputs provide 3,000 VDC of isolation between the analog input and the module, protecting the module and peripherals from damage due to high input line volt- age. Additionally, the module uses analog multiplexers with active over- voltage protection. The active protection circuitry assures that signal fidelity is maintained even under fault conditions that would destroy other multiplexers. This module can withstand an input voltage surge of 70 Vp-p with ±15 V supplies.
