SeaI/O User Manual
470 Series – 16 A/D, 2 D/A, 8 24V Outputs, 8 Isolated Inputs
Designed using the Maxim MAX197 successive approximation-type A/D chip, the
SeaI/O-470 provides eight differential or 16 single-ended 12-bit inputs. The A/D
inputs can be individually configured for sensing 4-20mA current loop signals.
Additionally, the module provides two 12-bit D/A output channels, eight optically
isolated inputs, and eight open collector outputs, ideal for driving 24V devices
commonly found in industrial environments. Perfect for a variety of data
acquisition/control and test & measurement applications, the SeaI/O-470 includes
removable screw terminals, which simplify field-wiring connections.
