3.2.3. Rack 3: AI
The AI board returns the engineering units for the associated field input.
Channel Description
1 Field input channel 1 voltage
2 Field input channel 2 voltage
60 Field input channel 60 voltage
Table 8 Rack 3: Channel Field Voltage
The voltage is the median value taken from the triplicated module. Field input current is converted to
voltage using a 250R resistor on a standard field termination assembly (FTA). This AI value may be
used directly or scaled using the IEC1131 TOOLSET conversion tables. The voltage is reported as
1024 counts per volt. To allow easy scaling for 4-20mA inputs, zero volts reports as -1024, one volt
reports as 0, and 5 volts reports as 4096.
Using a 250R field loop configuration the following table represents normal operating values.
