Universal Inputs
UI’s feature input resistor raft (hardware) and linearization table curves (software) for definition of a wide
range of sensor types so is useful for retrofit activities allowing existing sensors to be reused. The
linearization tables in the device may be customised and UI raft resistor values altered to suit other
sensors as required.
Ready-made UI rafts to suit factory default linearization table selections are available. The factory
default UI raft is fitted with 0Ω (short-circuit) in position 1 and 100kΩ in position 2; configuration as
Digital/pulse Input or 100kΩ -10…90°C NTC thermistor temperature sensor. Assignment of the input as
DI, pulse counter or NTC thermistor is made by setting the relevant linearization table ‘Sensor Type’ for
the input.
1. Gain Resistor
2. Biasing Resistor
3 Voltage Divider
4. Dropping Resistor
UI raft configurations are made according to the table below and by PC assignment of the relevant
Sensor Type.
Factory default Sensor Type selections are highlighted.
Factory default input raft
configuration is in bold text
.
When making own raft configurations select ¼ Watt resistors of 1% tolerance or
better.

* Measurement with some lower impedance voltage-based sensors may top out before the full voltage
range is reached, requiring omission of the 4k7 resistor.
