Connecting with Expansion Accessories 

When lacking of analog input channel used to connecting external device, you have to purchase a new 

same module, and thus it not only increases cost but also doubles installation space.  At the same time, 

adding channels is considered when designing this module, and additional module can be connected by 

the connector on module side, so that not only the cost but also the installation space is controlled. 

Up to 3 modules ADI16-4(FIT)GY can be connected when adding channels.  

In the case of combination of the USB module “ADI16-4(USB)” and three expansion modules  
“ADI16-4(FIT)GY”, it is possible to control 16 channels input by way of one USB port.

Points 

Up to 3 modules can be connected. 

Please use the supplied AC adapter when adding modules. 

Modules with different function from the USB module can not be connected. 

The analog grounds of both USB module and expansion module are isolated from each other. 

 

With the same name

Up to 3 expansion modules

can be connected.
