5.4 ANALOG INPUT MODULES (AI0-8)
The Analog Input Modules (AI0-8) are used to configure the characteristics of each input. Inputs AI4 through AI8 are active only if the ap-
propriate hardware option is installed. The nine Analog Input Modules are listed in Table 5-4. Each module can be configured sepa-
rately.

Span
This value determines the upper
range the analog input represents
in engineering units. The upper
range value equals Engineering
Zero plus Engineering Span.
