Note: The catalog specifies the number of inputs, sensor types, resolution, resistance measurement range, and module size, but does not specify the measurable temperature range for each sensor type, accuracy, or details of all five resistance ranges. Please check the AI 812 specific datasheet before finalizing the project specification.
4-Channel Analog Input
SIGMATEK AI 812 supports 4 analog input channels for measuring resistance or temperature from supported sensors.
The module can be used to collect measurement data from multiple locations within a machine control system, but each channel's signal type and connection must be correctly set according to the manufacturer's manual.
Resistance Measurement
AI 812 supports resistance measurement within the range of 0-5000 Ohm, and the catalog specifies that there are 5 measurement ranges for use.
The selected measurement range should be consistent with the resistance range of the connected device or sensor to ensure the readings are suitable for the application.
Details of the measurement range for each range, configuration methods, and signal coordinates must be checked in the manufacturer's technical documentation.
Supports PT100 and PT1000 Sensors
AI 812 supports PT100 and PT1000 temperature sensors, which are Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) that use the property of platinum's resistance change according to temperature.
Generally, PT100 has a standard resistance of 100 Ohm at 0°C, and PT1000 has a standard resistance of 1000 Ohm at 0°C. However, the actual temperature range that the module can measure must be checked according to the AI 812 datasheet.
Supports NI100 and NI1000 Sensors
The module supports NI100 and NI1000 temperature sensors, which are resistance-type temperature sensors using nickel material.
Usage must ensure that the sensor standards, temperature range, and the relationship between temperature and resistance match the system control settings.
Supports 2-Wire and 3-Wire Sensor Connections
AI 812 supports 2-wire and 3-wire sensor connection formats according to the catalog data.
2-Wire Connection: Uses two signal wires to connect the sensor. The resistance of the wires may affect the readings, especially when running long cables.
3-Wire Connection: This wiring format is used to compensate for the effect of wire resistance under appropriate conditions, helping to reduce measurement errors when used with compatible modules and sensors.
Before installation, check the wiring diagram and terminal positions of AI 812 directly to ensure accurate resistance or temperature readings.
16-bit Resolution (Resolution)
AI 812 has a 16-bit signal reading resolution according to the catalog data, suitable for application in industrial systems for measuring resistance and temperature values.
The 16-bit resolution is related to signal conversion and should not be directly interpreted as measurement accuracy, as actual accuracy depends on the sensor, signal circuit, installation, and environment.
Operation with S-DIAS System
AI 812 is a module in the S-DIAS series from SIGMATEK for expanding measurement input channels to compatible control systems.
When selecting, it is necessary to check the compatibility of the CPU, power supply module, and components, as well as the configuration requirements for signal channels and data display in the software.
