Analog Interface Unit (AIU)

The Analog Interface Unit (AIU) is an hardware device that provides the user of a ProScale digital measurement system with a method of generating an analog DC output voltage that is proportional to the currently displayed measurement system position.  This output can be used as an A/D converter input on a PLC or other device that utilizes an analog input signal.

The AIU uses the SPC output from the ProScale Readout and converts it to an internal pre-programmed set of lower and upper position limits.  The AIU uses a ratio utilizing these factors and generates an analog output via a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter.  This provides 4096 discrete voltage steps over the defined measurement range.  Unit mounts to cabinet or enclosure via standard 35 mm DIN rail.
