PV- 1800: Power supply module with GSM MODEM

Analogue inputs (CN5)

The PV-1800 and PV-1700 has 8 isolated analogue inputs accessible in a 10pin box header (CN5). Beside these inputs, there is also a +3.3V isolated voltage with common ground reference as the analogue inputs. This voltage can be used to power external conditioning circuitry - (max 10mA). Depending on the model – see section ordering codes – each input will have a full scale of 2.5V, 5.0V, 10V, or 20mA. The table shows the connector layout:

The input circuitry looks like this:

The analogue inputs are factory configured by choosing proper values for R1 and R2. In the table the values are shown for the different models. The input resistance is 1M￿ on all voltage input channels. The software interface is explained in section PV-1800 register interface.

Differential measurement

The analogue inputs can two by two be used for differential measurement. Inputs, which can make up a pair, are defined in the software. One of the wires, in each pair, is inside the ADC connected as a ‘negative’ input; the other as a ‘positive’ input. The common mode voltage on the ‘negative’ input must not exceed 0.5V in a 0 – 2.5V configuration and 1V in a 0 - 5V configuration. The combinations of the actual inputs used for differential measurement are shown in section - PV-1800 register interface. Also here it is described which input that is used as the ‘negative’.
