4.4.2.2 Differential current input

The WI-I/O-EX-1-S-12 can be configured to measure differential current. The differential

pairs are: AIN1-AIN2, AIN3-AIN4, AIN5-AIN6, AIN7-AIN8. To use this configuration,

choose the differential current input page, as shown in Figure 4-8.

Remove the access panel from the front of the WI-I/O-EX-1-S-12 case to

gain access to the dip switches. Replace the access panel after setting the

switches.

Set the switches according to the picture shown. The unit should be orientated with the

20-way connector towards you.

Figure 4-8: Setup page for differential current configuration.
Once the dip switches on the unit are set, tick the checkbox on the form, and click Save

configuration. Check the WI-I/O-EX Detected panel to ensure that the analog mode has

been updated (to Current, differential).

Clicking Read from WI-I/O-EX will read the scales out of the unit (if any) and display

them in the scales grid. Note that the dip switches should be set correctly for this result to

be relevant.
