The AI05 Analog Input module processes up to 8 high level, CH-2-CH isolated, analog input field signals. Each channel is independently configurable for either 4 to 20 mA or 1 to +5 VDC ranges. FC 221 (I/O Device Definition) sets AI module operating parameters and each input channel is configured using FC 222 (Analog Input CH) to set indivdual input channel parameters such as engineering units, High/Low alarm limits, etc.
A/D resolution of each channel is configurable from 12 to 16 bits with polarity. The AI05 module has a dedicated A/D converter for each input channel. The module will update all 8 input channels in 100 msecs.
In current mode, the AI05 module supports HART v5.4 instruments and provides short circuit protection by limiting current to a maximum of 96 mA. The AI05 module will also detect an open circuit in less than 5 seconds.
