Universal Analog Input Module Wiring 
The Universal Analog Input Module has eight inputs, which can include any combination of the following 
input types: RTD, TC, Ohms, Millivolt, Volt, or Milliamp. Figure 43 shows wiring examples of each of the 
analog input types. An example of wiring for eight TC inputs is given in Figure 45. 
Specifications for this module and for other modules are given in the Specifications section of this manual. 
 
ATTENTION 
To indicate sensor failure the Analog Input software will output a warning if 
thermocouple resistance > 80 ohms. Use appropriate gauge wiring to prevent 
inaccurate failure warnings.

Table values are shown as a reference only; actual values may vary. Consult manufacturer specifications. 
 
Isolation 
This module has eight inputs, which are isolated except for RTD current sources.  
 
RTD Inputs 
RTD inputs share current sources (two RTD inputs per source), as shown in  
 
 
 
 
Figure 42, Figure 43, and Figure 44. 
For example, the current source for the RTD input at channel one (terminals 1 and 2) is terminal 3 (I
RTD 
1 & 
2).  This same current source (I
RTD 
1 & 2) is also used for an RTD input at channel two (terminals 4 and 5).
