Overview

You might find that there is not a Soft-I/O Soft-Device appropriate for your analog sensor.  That's the purpose of the Versatile Analog Input Soft-Device.  You can hook a wide variety of sensors that produce a voltage or current.  Just pick two pins, configure the versatile analog input Soft-Device, and you are reading your sensor.  Unlike the thermocouple Soft-Device that will automatically produce a reading in engineering units of temperature, the versatile analog input Soft-Device does not know the units, so you simple enter the scaling factor and offset along with the name of the engineering units, such as liters/second.  It's that simple!

 Features

·     Two wire interface

·     Soft-I/O supports a range of voltages and currents standard in the industry

 ·     You select the engineering units

·     You provide the scale and offset to calibrate your sensor

·     Flexible pin assignments

·     Non-volatile saving of settings

·     Flexible tags for remote control

In Action

The Versatile Analog Input Soft-Device provides for direct connection of most analog sensors.  There are no external amplifiers or interface circuits required.  What could be simpler?  The versatile analog input device is an easy way to connect sensors producing 4--20mA outputs. 

Technical Specifications

Each Versatile Analog Input Soft-Device will provide one continuously variable--analog input to Soft-I/O.  You select two pins and wire your sensor.  You can then use your configured sensor for measurement, control or data logging.  What could be simpler or less expensive?
