Introducing the OMB-AI-EXP32 Overview: OMB-AI-EXP32 features The OMB-AI-EXP32 is an expansion module you can use to add up to 32 single-ended analog inputs or 16 differential analog/thermocouple inputs to compatible hardware, such as OMB-DAQ-2416 series devices. Each input channel is software configurable for either voltage or thermocouple. The analog inputs are provided on four rows of removable screw terminals.
As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static electricity. Before removing the OMB-AI-EXP32 from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
When connected to a USB 1.1 full-speed port, the transfer rate is limited to 12 Mbps. Connecting the device for I/O operations User connectors The following table lists the device connectors and compatible hardware for the OMB-AI-EXP32. User connectors and hardware Connector type Six banks of removable screw-terminal blocks ...
OMB-AI-EXP32 User's Guide Installing the OMB-AI-EXP32 Expansion connector The OMB-AI-EXP32 has a 37-pin male DSUB connector that connects directly to the 37-pin female DSUB connector on a OMB-DAQ-2416 series module. EGND..EGND NC..NC DIO_LOAD1..SCK DIO_LOAD2..MOSI IMEN7..SDA IMEN8..
Chapter 3 Specifications All specifications are subject to change without notice. Typical for 25 °C unless otherwise specified. All specifications apply to all temperature and voltage input channels unless otherwise specified. Specifications in italic text are guaranteed by design. Compatibility Table 1.
There is a CJC sensor for each terminal block of the module. The thermocouple measurement accuracy assumes that the screw terminals are at the same temperature as the CJC sensor. Connect thermocouples to the OMB-AI-EXP32 such that they are floating with respect to GND (pins 17, 18, 49, 50).
Specifications Analog input DC voltage measurement accuracy The OMB-AI-EXP32 is a multiplexer-based channel expansion module that increases the number of voltage input channels of a OMB-DAQ-2416 series host module. For voltage accuracy information, refer to the electrical specification of the OMB-DAQ-2416 host device that is the interface to the OMB-AI-EXP32 interface.
Detachable screw terminal Wire gauge range 16 AWG to 30 AWG Expansion port The OMB-AI-EXP32 expansion port is intended to interface the OMB-AI-EXP32 to a OMB-DAQ-2416 series product. Do not use any of the expansion port pins for any other purpose.
