1.2 Analog Input Modules
Analog input modules use an A/D converter to convert sensor voltage, current, ther-
mocouple or RTD signals into digital data. The digital data is then translated into engi-
neering units. 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 up to
3,000 V
DC
.
1.2.1 ADAM-5013 3-ch RTD Input Module
The ADAM-5013 is a 16-bit, 3-channel RTD input module that features programmable input
ranges on all channels. This module is an extremely cost-effective solution for industrial mea-
surement and monitoring applications. Its opto-isolated inputs provide 3,000 V
DC
of isolation
between the analog input and the module, protecting the module and peripherals from dam-
age due to high input line voltage.
