Analog Input Filtering: The table below explains the filtering (integration) options on the analog inputs. The faster the
integration time, the quicker the channels will be sampled. Howerver, quicker samples will render less accurate read‐
ings. For most accurate readings, select the slower sample/filtering settings.
Temperature Reporting: Choose from 1°C, 0.1°C, 1°F and 0.1°F. When set for 1°C or F, the temperature is reported as
whole degrees and if set for 0.1°C or F, the reported value is the temperature multiplied by 10 and reported as an inte‐
ger.
Channel: A channel is a physical IO point that can be either analog or digital.
Modbus Address: This field indicate the register addresses for each channel. Configuration must be sequential.
Addresses are fixed sequentially from the base address.
Input Type: Select the type of signal that will be connected to the input.
Disabled: This option will completely disable the channel so the channel will always report a zero. The Input Range is configu‐
ration will be disabled as well.
Voltage Range: When this option is selected, the analog input will be configured to take a DC voltage range. The Input Range
must also be configured.
Current Range: With this option selected, the analog input will be configured to take current instrumentation input (0‐40mA
or 4‐20mA). The Input Range must also be configured.
Input Range: Select the range that will be connecte to the input channel.
0‐5 VDC and 0‐10 VDC: This option will be available when the Voltage Range option is selected. In these modes, the value will
be scaled from the selected range (0‐5 VDC and 0‐10 VDC) to 0‐32767 (decimal).
0‐20 mA Positive Results Only and 4‐20 mA Positive Results Only: These options will be available when the Current Range
option is selected In thse modes, the value will be scaled from the selected range (0‐20mA and 4‐20mA) to 0‐32767 (decimal).
No negative results will be displayed. If no signal is connected, the analog input vlaue reported will be 0 (decimal).
4‐20 mA Negative below 4mA: When this option is selected, the 4‐20 mA range will be scaled from 0‐32767 (decimal). A neg‐
ative value will be displayed when nothing is connected to the input or the instrument is no longer supplying a current. This
setting can be used to detect a failed or disconnected instrument.
Note: Negative numbers are determined by using the most significant bit in the 16‐bit decimal value as a signed bit. When
the most significant bit is 0, the value is positive. When the most significant bit is 1, the value is negative. Therefore, the value
read from the channel may be displayed differently depending on the device that is reading that value. For example, negative
values may also be read as any decimal value above 32767.
