ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE
Also available: V450 Analog Input Module
- 16 independent, galvanically isolated analog output channels. Each channel is independently programmable for mode and output range.
- Voltage mode: provides 16-bit resolution with programmable output voltage ranges from ±25 millivolts to ±12.5 volts.
- T/C simulation mode: simulates most common thermocouples: types J K E T R S B and N. NIST-standard lookup tables are included to allow direct entry of simulated temperatures.
- Includes four non-isolated precision RTD signal conditioners for reference junction temperature sensing, plus one onboard reference junction sensor. Any thermocouple simulation channel can be associated with any reference.
- Any channel may be switched to a dedicated cal connector to allow in-system calibration check.
- VME interface operates at bus speed with no realtime handshaking.
- Supports one or two optional 8-channel J470 isothermal junction boxes, each with integral RTD reference junction sensor, or one or two J475 field-wiring interface boards.
In thermocouple simulation mode, theV470 includes lookup tables for all common thermocouple types, allowing users to write the desired temperature directly to VME registers. Any channel can be associated with any of the reference junction sensors located in the external field-wiring termination panels, or can use the onboard sensor. Cold-junction compensation is via table lookup of thermocouple potential for the type currently selected. Reference junction temperatures are readable.
Two front-panel D-25 connectors interface to external analog devices. Each connector provides eight differential outputs and connections for two 4-wire RTDs. A D9 connector provides in-crate calibration check. Each isolated channel incorporates a software controlled DPDT relay that allows the channel output to be diverted to the test connector.
Up to four output channels may be series-connected to provide outputs up to ±50 volts.
An optional built-in-self-test (BIST) subsystem adds additional switching and an onboard ADC and firmware that allows the invocation of a full closed-loop test of all ranges of all 16 channels.
