ADAM-4017/40188-channel Analog Input Module

The ADAM-4017/4018 is a 16-bit, 8-channel analog input module that provides programmable input ranges on all channels. This module is an extremely cost-effective solution for industrial measurement and monitoring applications. Its opto-isolated inputs provide 3000 VDC of

isolation between the analog input and the module, and protect the module and peripherals from damaging due to high input-line voltages.

The ADAM-4017/4018 offers signal conditioning, A/D conversion, ranging and RS-485 digital communication functions. The module protects your equipment from power surges at the ground terminal by providing opto-isolation of A/D input and up to 3000 VDC transformer

based isolation.

The ADAM-4017/4018 uses a 16-bit microprocessor-controlled sigma-delta A/D converter to convert sensor voltage or current into digital data. The digital data are then translated into engineering units. When prompted by the host computer, the module sends the data to the host through a standard RS-485 interface.

ADAM-4018M8-channel Analog Input Data logger

The ADAM-4018M is a 16-bit, 8-channel analog input data logger featuring programmable input ranges on all channels. This reliable and easy to use analog input logger can store up to 38,000 measurements for a maximum duration of 20 years.

The ADAM-4018M can accept various analog inputs such as thermocouple, mV, V and mA. It also offers three configurable logging modes, standard log, event log, and mixed log. Optically isolated inputs provide 3000 VDC of isolation between the module and the analog input,

and protect the module and peripherals from damaging due to high voltages on the input lines.

The ADAM-4018M is an extremely cost-effective solution for industrial measurement and monitoring applications.
