The AI06 Universal Analog Input module processes up to 8 high-level, CH-2-CH isolated, analog input field signals. Each channel is independently configurable for high-level (4 to 20 mA or 1 to +5 VDC), RTD, mV, and TC analog input signal ranges. FC 221 (I/O Device Definition) sets AI module operating parameters and each input channel is configured using FC 222 (Analog Input CH) to set individual input channel parameters such as engineering units, High/Low alarm limits, etc.
Each input channel has a dedicated A/D converter that provides 24-bit resolution with polarity. The AI05 module will update all 8 input channels in 100 msecs.
In current mode, the AI06 module provides short circuit protection by limiting current to a maximum of 96 mA. The AI06 module will also detect an open circuit in less than 400 msec.
