B&B Electronics 5000 Series user manual Analog Input module, ADAM-5013 3-channel RTD input module

Analog Input module

Analog input modules use an A/D converter to convert sensor voltage, current, thermocouple or RTD signals into digital data. The digital data is then translated into engineering units. The analog input modules protect your equipment from ground loops and power surges by providing opto-isolation of the A/D input and transformer based isolation up to3,000VDC.

2.1 ADAM-5013 3-channel RTD input module

The ADAM-5013 is a 16-bit, 3-channel RTD input module that features 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 3,000 VDC of isolation between

the analog input and the module, protecting the module and peripherals from damage due to high input line voltage.

Note: Owing to the conversion time required by the A/D converter, the initialization time of each ADAM-5013 module is 5 seconds. Thus the total initialization time will be about 20 seconds if all 4 I/O slots in an ADAM-5000 main unit contain ADAM-5013 modules.
