Configuring the DC Analog Module
Overview
The ADAM
®
-4017+ DC Analog Input Module has been pre-configured based on
your order. Typically, all of the analog inputs will be configured the same way; for
example, they may all be configured to have a voltage range of +1 V.
In most cases, you will not have to reconfigure the DC Analog Input Module. You
may, however, want to change the following:
• Input type (voltage or current)
• Input range
• Point descriptors
The following procedure is intended as a high-level overview. For detailed
instructions and settings, refer to the following documents:
• ADAM 4000 Data Acquisition Modules User’s Manual – Available from the
