Product Description
Key Features
- Exact product identity: Product type designation: AI 8xU/I/R/RTD BA for Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500.
- Analog input capacity: 8 analog input channels, with 8 channels for current measurement, voltage measurement, and resistance/resistance thermometer measurement.
- Resolution and accuracy: Resolution with overrange: 16 bit. Operational error limit over the overall temperature range: 0.5% for voltage, current and resistance relative to the input range.
- Supported input ranges: Supported ranges include 1 V to 5 V, -1 V to +1 V, -10 V to +10 V, -5 V to +5 V, -50 mV to +50 mV, -500 mV to +500 mV, 0 to 20 mA, -20 mA to +20 mA, and 4 mA to 20 mA.
- Diagnostics and interrupts: Diagnostics and diagnostic alarms are available, with hardware interrupts, RUN LED, ERROR LED, channel status display and channel/module diagnostic LEDs.
- Delivery and connector exclusion: Delivery includes an infeed element, shield bracket and shield terminal. The front connector with screw terminals or push-in is ordered separately.
Applications
- Voltage measurement: The module supports voltage measurement through its analog inputs.
- Current measurement: The module supports current measurement, including 2-wire transducers with external supply and 4-wire transducers.
- Resistance and RTD measurement: The module supports resistance and resistance thermometer measurement, including 3-wire connections for all measuring ranges except PTC.
