PiXtend eIO Hardware Manual
6.5.1.Analog Inputs
PiXtend eIO Analog One has four analog inputs for voltage measurements (AI0 - AI3) in
the ranges 0..5 V / 0..10 V and a further four for current measurements (AI4 - AI7) in the
range 0 (4) .. 20 mA.
Applications
–
Evaluation of industrial sensors with analog outputs
–
Detecting Potentiometer Positions (Knob)
–
Current and voltage measurements in the laboratory and in experimental setups
–
Voltage monitoring of batteries (for example in a robot application)
–
Current measurement with an external shunt (voltage at the resistor)
–
Evaluation of PT100 / 1000 sensors (with an external preamp)
–
Connection to the analog outputs of other control units
–
Lower / measuring input for current loop
–
Usable for active and passive sensors
The inputs are designed robust and withstand over-voltages of up to 30 V DC. By jumper,
the voltage ranges can be easily changed and adapted to the conditions.
Analog filter stages provide low-noise measurements with the 10-bit analog / digital
converter.
