Chapter 4 I/O Module Introduction
4.1 Analog Input Modules
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. When prompted by the host com-
puter, the data is sent through a standard 10/100 Base-T Ethernet or IEEE
802.11b WLAN. Users can read the current status via pre-built webpage
or HMI software supported Modbus/TCP protocol. 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.
4.1.1 ADAM-6015
7-ch Isolated RTD Input Module
The ADAM-6015 is a 16-bit, 7-channel RTD input module that provides
programmable input ranges on all channels. It accepts various RTD inputs
(PT100, PT1000, Balco 500 & Ni) and provides data to the host computer
in engineering units (°C). In order to satisfy various temperature require-
ments in one module, each analog channel is allowed to configure an
individual range for several applications.
ADAM-6015 Specifications
