Analog Inputs

The flow computer includes two on-board channels you can individually configure as either analog
inputs (AI) or analog outputs (AO). In addition, if you purchased the optional 6-channel expansion I/O
board, there are two additional channels you can individually configure as either AIs or AOs.
Note
No external resistor is required for a current (mA) device. You can apply a 250 ohm resistor using
analog input configuration selections in FBxConnect.
When configured as analog inputs, the channels have the following characteristics:

I/O Configuration and Wiring
Number Supported
0 to 4 as follows:
▪ 1 or 2 non-isolated channels on CPU
board (AIAO1 and AIAO2) always
present. You can configure one, both,
or neither as AIs.
▪ 1 or 2 additional non-isolated channels
on optional 6-channel expansion I/O
board (AIAO3 and AIAO4). If present
you can configure one, both, or neither
as AIs.
and 3-5 show analog input wiring for AIAO2. AIAO1 and AIAO2 share the same GND

Characteristics
▪ 4 to 20 mA range (@24Vdc), or 1 to
5Vdc
▪ Over range for calibration purposes:
3.2 to 20.8 mA or 0.8 to 5.2 Vdc
Externally powered
▪
Factory calibrated (re-calibration is
▪
unnecessary for at least 3 years)
▪ Signal conditioning
▪ When you configure a channel as an
AI it cannot be used as an AO
