3.3 Analog Input Modules
The Analog Input Module configuration panel has three tabs [Setup, Scale Data and Control Loop/Alarm]
that provide a simple interface to configure and collect data from analog input modules such as MAQ20-
MVDN, -VSN, -VDN, -ISN, -IDN, -RMS, -RTD31, -RTD41, -BRDGN, -JTC, -KTC, -TTC, -RSTC, etc. To
open the analog input module configuration panel, select the appropriate system on the Acquire panel,
then click on the input module graphic in the system representation.
Setup tab:
Each channel can have a unique User Tag Name. The system automatically assigns the default
tag name when the system is first connected. The format of the default tag name is:
system number _ device name _ slot number _ channel number
For example, in the default name 1_VDN_2_0:
1 = System 1
VDN = MAQ20-VDN module
2 = module is located in system Slot 2
0 = MAQ20-VDN channel 0
To change the tag name, enter the new name in the User Tag Name text box for the channel.
References to this channel in other panels will use this tag name.
Current, Average, Maximum or Minimum data for each channel can be displayed. Click on the
Select selection box and choose the desired data.
Average Weight can be set independently for each channel. Use the Avg Weight selection box to
set the desired value. The default setting is 4 samples.
To reset the Maximum and Minimum value, click on the reset button of the channel.
