AIM112

Modern automation solutions are highly dependent on precise, fast and robust sensors with an analog interface. The wide range of interfaces required for integration can be challenging here. This is especially the case when a large number of different interfaces requires a correspondingly large variety of types of acquisition modules.

This is a challenge that the AIM112 type modules meet very easily. Up to 12 analog inputs can be individually configured to the desired signal type. The modules provide both the common standard signals for current loops (4 mA to 20 mA, ±20 mA) and 4 high-impedance voltage measuring ranges (±10 V to ±10 mV), each adapted to the conversion range. Alternatively, channel types for all industrially relevant thermocouples including integrated characteristic linearization are available for measuring very wide temperature ranges. 

Precise signal conversion is possible with a 16‑bit resolution and at very high sampling rates thanks to the special measurement electronics. Widely adjustable filter chains, precisely tuned to the signal path, ensure a configurable balance between interference suppression and measurement dynamics. A hardware-accelerated high-speed interpolation that can be activated as required provides continuous measurement signals independent of the filter settings and even with very short bus cycles.
