signal conditioning The Signal Conditioning Wildcard is used with the Analog I/O Wildcard to increase its input and output voltage range and to add 4-20 mA current input and output capability  This document describes the capabilities of the Signal Conditioning Wildcard and tells how to connect and use it with an Analog I/O Wildcard.

0–10 V Voltage Inputs

Input Channels

4 unipolar single-ended; pairs of channels may be used for differential input

Resolution

16-bits ( 0 – 65,535 counts)

Input Voltage Range

0 to 10.24 V is converted to 0-2.048 V presented to the Analog I/O Wildcard
(range customizable by component substitution)

Input Filtering

Single-pole 265 Hz low-pass filter, reconfigurable by component substitution

Input Impedance

376 KΩ

Offset and Scale Errors

±0.1% of FS offset error and ±1-2% of FS gain error are added to any A/D offset and gain errors

 

 

0–10 V Voltage Outputs

Output Channels

4 unipolar single-ended

Resolution

12-bits ( 0 – 4095 counts)

Full Scale
Output Voltage

0 to 10.24 V is produced from 0-4.096 V provided by the Analog I/O Wildcard
(range customizable by component substitution)

Settling Time

300 msec typically, slew rate is 0.1V/msec

Allowed Load Resistance

³ 1KΩ, Op-amp output sources and sinks up to 10 mA,  sink current limited at Vo=0 by 39Ω output resistance.

Offset and Scale Errors

±0.05% of FS offset error and ±1-2% of FS gain error are added to any A/D offset and gain errors

 

 

0–20 mA Current Inputs

Input Channels

4 unipolar single-ended current sinks

Resolution

16-bits ( 0 – 65,535 counts)

Input Current Range

(range customizable by component substitution)

Input Protection

Protected to -30V, +15V, or +100 mA steady state input

Input Resistance

200 Ω (for up to 50 mA input, dynamic resistance drops toward 100 Ω for greater currents)

Offset and Scale Errors

No offset error and ±1% of FS gain error is added to any A/D offset and gain errors

 

 

0–20 mA Current Outputs

Output Channels

4 unipolar single-ended current sources

Resolution
