Technical Specifications
The IMASI23 is a high-density, microprocessor-based analog input module designed to interface various types of field sensors directly with the host control system.
-
Input Channels: Features 16 analog input channels.
-
Input Signal Types: Highly versatile universal inputs that accept:
-
Thermocouples (Types J, K, E, T, R, S, B, N)
-
RTDs (100-ohm Platinum, 10-ohm Copper, 120-ohm Nickel)
-
Millivolt signals (-100 to +100 mV)
-
High-level voltage/current signals (1-5 VDC, 0-10 VDC, 4-20 mA with external resistors)
-
-
A/D Resolution: 24-bit analog-to-digital converter for high-precision temperature and low-level voltage measurements.
-
Cold Junction Compensation: Built-in onboard cold junction compensation (CJC) for accurate thermocouple readings.
-
Isolation: Provides channel-to-system isolation to protect internal control logic from external electrical noise and spikes.
