Description
The C Series Universal Analog Input Module is designed to meet a wide array of measurement needs. It comes with part numbers 783362-01 and 783367-01, indicating different versions or configurations within the series. This module is notable for its versatility, supporting 2 channels with a high sample rate of 51.2 kS/s per channel.
It stands out for its compatibility with various types of sensors and measurements including accelerometers, powered sensors, full-bridges, voltage measurements, quarter-bridges, half-bridges, 60 V, and current estimations. This range of supported elements ensures that the module can be used in a broad spectrum of applications, making it a valuable tool for professionals in various fields.
The module is equipped with specific signal conditioning modes for full-bridge configurations and ±5 V IEPE (Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric) sensors, which is particularly useful for precision measurements. The isolated ground for IEPE mode enhances the module’s utility by providing a dedicated reference point for noise reduction in sensitive measurements.
Furthermore, the module features AC coupling with IEPE current, ensuring that the input signal is free from DC offsets, which can be critical for accurate signal processing. It also boasts a Class 1 TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) interface, which simplifies the setup and configuration process by automatically identifying and describing the connected transducer.
To ensure the integrity and quality of the measurements, the module integrates both analog and digital filtering capabilities. These filters help in minimizing signal noise and preventing aliasing, thus preserving the fidelity of the measurement. The module supports various bandwidths, including passband, stopband, and alias-free bandwidth, offering flexibility in tuning the module’s performance to match specific application requirements.
