Non-Isolated Analog Inputs (Ai) On Tb6 Of Process I/O Board - Emerson ControlWave EFM 3808 Instruction Manual

ControlWave Express Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave Express)

3.3.3 Non-Isolated Analog Inputs (AI) on TB6 of Process I/O Board

Setting Jumpers See Section 3.2.1 for details on setting jumpers.
Wiring Each AI includes three terminals (field power, AI# and DGND). See
Software Configuration To use data from these AIs you must include a CWM_EIO board in
3-8
Process I/O Board terminal block connector TB6 provides interface to
three single-ended analog inputs (AIs).

Supply, see document PIP-ControlWave-LS.
Notes:
You must connect cable shields associated with AI wiring to the

ControlWave Express chassis ground.
Multiple shield terminations require you to supply a copper ground

bus. You must connect the ground bus to the ControlWave Express
chassis ground using up to a #4 AWG wire size. The ground bus
must accommodate a connection to a known good Earth ground (in
lieu of a direct connection from the ControlWave Express chassis
ground) and to all AI cable shields.
Use an appropriate terminal lug for shield wires and secure them to

the copper bus using industry rugged hardware (screw/bolt, lock
washer and nuts).
your ControlWave project using ControlWave Designer's I/O
Configurator, and then configure it. See the ControlWave Designer
Programmer's Handbook (D5125) for more information. That same
manual includes an I/O Mapping section that describes, for advanced
users, the I/O map for this board.
I/O Configuration and Wiring
Characteristics
 Jumper-selectable using JP5, JP6, and
JP7 for either 4-20mA or 1-5V
operation.
 Jumper JP4 determines whether AI
field power comes from system power
(bulk input supply applied to TB1-3
and TB1-4 on the CPU/System
Controller Board) or the external loop
power source connected to TB7-3 and
TB7-4 on the Process I/O board.
 2 Hz low pass filter for each AI.
 Surge Suppression.
 Self calibrating.
