AP8a
Backplane for 5B modules
For measuring amplifers and
sensors. Get connected.
Carrier board in 5B technology: Up to eight
measuring amplifiers, converters, output
modules, or any other function modules can be
plugged into the analog backplane AP8a. The
variety of available 5B modules provides for the
solution of the most specific measuring tasks -
individual and simple.
5B technology. Industrial standard.
The pin assignment of the backplane
integrated in the AP8a corresponds to the 5B
module standard of Analog Devices and Burr
Brown. An additional 0EX pin has been
introduced for sensors requiring unipolar
supply.
Clearly safe.
Most of the 5B modules feature galvanic
isolation of the channels from each other and
from the data acquisition and control system.
This perfectly protects the whole system
against high potentials and interferences.
Functional diagram
Well supplied.
The AP8a is operated with 5V or 9-40V
optionally. The supply voltage is connected via
screw-clamp terminals.
Signal connection.
Clamp. Plug in. Ready.
Sensors or other voltage signals can
comfortably be connected via 7-pin spring
terminal blocks (ZU7ST), which are plugged in
the relevant input connectors of the AP8a.
Connection to the DAQ system.
The amplifier outputs are available at a 16-pin
plug connector. They are connected to the
input lines of a data acquisition system.
Combining the AP8a with a measuring card or
DAQ system from bmcm makes a powerful
measurement system.
DIN rail mounting.
The AP8a comes with a DIN rail carrier with
bracket to be easily mounted on a standard
DIN rail as commonly used in electrical
installation.
The small option.
You have the choice.
For all needing less channels: The analog
backplane is also available as a 2-channel
version AP2.
