Analog DAQ module

23 June 2010 Computer/Embedded Technology

The ADAM-4017/4018 from Advantech is a 16-bit, 8-channel analog input module that provides programmable input ranges on all channels, making it a cost-effective solution for industrial measurement and monitoring applications.

Its opto-isolated inputs provide 3000 V d.c. of isolation between the analog input and the module, protecting the module and peripherals from damage due to high input line voltages.

The module offers signal conditioning, A/D conversion, ranging and RS485 digital communication functions. It protects equipment from ground loops and power surges by providing opto-isolation of the A/D input and transformer-based isolation. The ADAM-4017/4018 uses a 16-bit microprocessor-controlled sigma-delta A/D converter to convert sensor voltage or current into digital data. The digital data is then translated into engineering units. When prompted by the host computer, the module sends the data to the host through a standard RS485 interface.

The module has six differential and two single-ended channels, a watchdog timer, and is suitable for thermocouple, mV, V and mA input types.
