C-DIAS ANALOG INPUT MODULE CAI 042 Wiring Guidelines General The 0V connection for the voltage supply must be wired to the 0V collection point over the shortest route possible. Wiring and Cable Shielding The analog signals received by the module are very small in comparison to the digital signals.
C-DIAS ANALOG INPUT MODULE CAI 042 Wiring Variations There are two connection types available for measuring with the resistive wire strain: • 4-wire measurement: The advantage of this variation is that a four-pole connection cable can be used for the DMS; however, the voltage drop on the circuit for the bridge supply voltage cannot be compensated.
C-DIAS ANALOG INPUT MODULE CAI 042 Analysis of the serial interface with Hyper terminal Settings: Baud rate: 115,2k Data bits: Parity: None Stop bits: Flow control: None Counter: Shows how often measuring values are written to the serial interface. The measuring values are updated in about 13ms intervals.
