It is becoming increasingly important to be able to control complex instal-
lations in a user-friendly manner. Sensors are used, for instance, in order
to control supply air valves, exhaust air valves and air flow speeds in an air
conditioning system, or to control heating using an outside temperature
sensor. Container levels are scanned in order to obtain information about
when the containers need filling. Pipeline temperatures are recorded and
evaluated. Sensors to detect the presence of persons in a room are installed
in order to optimise the use of energy. Monitoring and security functions rely
on the data from sensors. All of these events play a role when it comes to
controlling complex installations in buildings and houses in a convenient and
secure manner while minimising energy consumption. In making it possible
to record and process four independent analogue input signals, our
Analogue Input AE/S 4.2 product can help you control your installations
using ABB i-bus

.
This manual provides detailed technical information about the Analogue
Input product, including installation and programming, and explains how to
use AE/S 4.2 by way of examples.
