3.8.4 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 multichannel/ 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 differ-
ential 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.
3.8.5 ADAM-4017 8-channel Analog Input Module
Figure 3.25 ADAM-4017 8-channel Analog Input Module
Channels:
- Six differential, two single-ended
Accepts:
- Millivolt inputs: ±150 mV and ±500 mV
- Volt inputs: ±1 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V
- Current input: ±20 mA (requires a 120 resistor)
The module forwards the data to the host computer in engineering units (mV, V or
mA)
