The FX-4AD analog special function block has four input channels .The input channels receive
analog signals and convert them into a digital value.This is called an A/D conversion.The FX-4AD
has a maximum resolution of 12 bits.
The selection of voltage or current based input/output is by user wiring. Analog ranges of -10 to 10V
DC (resolution: 5mV), and/or 4 to 20mA, -20 to 20mA (resolution: 20µA) may be selected.
FX PC versions 2.0 or later (those with serial number 13OOOO or larger) are required as these
units have the TO/FROM applied instructions in their instruction set. Data transfer between the FX-
4AD and the FX base unit is by buffer memory exchange. There are 32 buffer memories (each of
16 bits) in the FX-4AD.
The FX-4AD occupies 8 points of I/O on the FX, FX
from either inputs or outputs. The FX-4AD draws 30mA from the 5V rail of the FX base unit or
powered extension unit.
