How to Use Analog I/O
Analog refers to the representation of numerical quantities by the
measurement of continuous physical variables. Analog applications are
present in many forms. The following application shows a typical use of analog
data.
In this application, the processor controls the amount of fluid in a holding tank
by adjusting the valve opening. The valve is initially open 100%. As the fluid
level in the tank approaches the preset point, the processor modifies the
output to close the valve 90%, 80%, and so on, continuously adjusting the valve
to maintain the fluid level.
General Description
The analog input module converts and digitally stores analog data for retrieval
by controllers, such as the SLC™ 500 programmable controller. The module
supports connections from any combination of up to four voltage or current
analog sensors. The four high-impedance input channels can be wired as
single-ended inputs.
