5.1. Verifying Analog Input functionality on a WinCE or WES PAC device
If the data read from the module is inconsistent with the input signal, and you would like to
confirm the input function, the pac_i8017W_Utility.exe tool may be helpful. The utility can only be
used with modules designed for controllers using the WinCE and WES platforms and is located in
the I-8017W C# demo program folder for the controller. (See the Location of the Demo Programs
section for more details)
Step 1: Connect a stable signal to the module.
a. Connect your input signal according to whether differential or single-ended Jumper settings
are used. (See the Jumper Settings section for more details)
b. The input range can be from -10 V to +10 V.
c. Insert the module into a slot in a Windows platform controller and then power on the
controller.
Tips & Warnings
1. A battery output should provide a stable enough signal.
2. A 125 Ω resistor is required when measuring current input.
3. If the result is not as stable as the input signal when measuring the voltage
using the differential input type, it is recommended that an additional wire
is connected between the Vn- and the AGND (analog ground) pins to
enhance the accuracy. Note that this method has no benefit in enhancing
accuracy when measuring current input.
