8.2.2.1 Design Requirements

This reference design provides a complete solution for a single-supply industrial control analog input module. The design is suitable for process control end equipment, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCSs), and data acquisition systems (DAS) modules that must digitize standard industrial current inputs, and bipolar or unipolar input voltage ranges up to ±10 V. In an industrial environment, the analog voltage and current ranges typically include ±2.5 V, ±5 V, ±10 V, 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, 4 mA to 20 mA, and 0 mA to 20 mA. This reference design can measure all standard industrial voltage and current inputs. Eight channels are provided on the module, and each channel can be configured as a current or voltage input with software configuration.

The key design requirements are given below:

  • Up to eight channels of user-programmable inputs:
    • Voltage inputs (with a typical ZIN of 1 MΩ): ±10 V, ±5 V, ±2.5 V, 0 V to 10 V, and 0 V to 5 V
    • Current inputs (with a ZIN of 300 Ω): 0 mA to 20 mA, 4 mA to 20 mA, and ±20 mA
  • A 16-bit SAR ADC with SPI
  • Accuracy of ≤ 0.2% at 25°C over the entire input range of voltage and current inputs
  • Onboard isolated fly-buck™ power supply with inrush current protection
  • Slim-form factor 96 mm × 50.8 mm × 10 mm (L × W × H)
  • LabView-based GUI for signal-chain analysis and functional testing
  • Designed to comply with IEC61000-4 standards for ESD, EFT, and surge
