I/O Modules

ADAM-4017+8-channel Differential Analog Input Module

Here comes a solution to the demand for more analog input channels. Similar to its counterpart, the ADAM-4017+ enables eight differential channels with multiple input ranges. This multi-channel/multi-range structure allows channels with different input ranges at the same time. For example, channel 1 can have the range ± 5V meanwhile the others are ± 10V and ± 20 mA.

Instead of leaving two single-ended channels in ADAM-4017 module due to the limit number of pins, ADAM-4017+ uses a switch to switch AGND and INIT* to Vin6- and Vin7- respectively to allow 8- channel input. Moreover, the ADAM-4017+ has been expanded to accept 4 ~ 20 mA, so the user can employ it in various applications

ADAM-4018+8-channel Thermocouple Input Module

Here comes a solution to the demand for more thermocouple input channels. Similar to its counterpart, the ADAM-4018+ enables eight differential channels with multiple input types. This multi- channel/multi-type structure allows synchronizing channels with different types of input. For example, channel 1 has K type of input meanwhile the others have R and S types.

ADAM-4018+ is an 8-channel T/C input module. Comparing with the universal analog input module ADAM-4019, it is more dedicated to T/C and 4 ~ 20 mA inputs for those with special request. It improves ADAM-4018 with the traditional design of six differential and two single-ended channels. It also enhances the steadiness and reliability of the wiring. Normally, broken external wires will lead to an inaccurate current value. ADAM-4018+, however, provides burned-out detection that allows users to fix the problems easily. ADAM 4018+ has build in Shunt.
