DI-5B40/41 Analog Voltage Input Modules, Wide Bandwidth
Each DI-5B40 and DI-5B41 wide bandwidth voltage input module provides a single channel of analog input which is
amplified, isolated, and converted to a high level analog voltage output (see block diagram). This voltage output is
logic-switch controlled, allowing these modules to share a common analog bus without the requirement of external
multiplexers.
The DI-5B modules are designed with a completely isolated computer side circuit which can be floated to ±50V from
Power Common, pin 16. This complete isolation means that no connection is required between I/O Common and
Power Common for proper operation of the output switch. If desired, the output switch can be turned on continuously
by simply connecting pin 22, the Read-Enable pin to I/O Common, pin 19.
The input signal is processed through a preamplifier on the field side of the isolation barrier. This preamplifier has a
gain-bandwidth product of 5MHz and is bandwidth limited to 10kHz. After amplification, the input signal is chopped
by a proprietary chopper circuit. Isolation is provided by transformer coupling, again using a proprietary technique to
suppress transmission of common mode spikes or surges. The module is powered from +5VDC, ±5%.
A special input circuit on the DI-5B40 and DI-5B41 modules provides protection against accidental connection of
power-line voltages up to 240VAC.
