X20AI8321

Product Description

The B&R Automation X20 Series model X20AI8321 is an advanced analog input module that is specifically developed for use in industrial applications where accurate and reliable measurement is essential. It has 8 analog inputs with current ranges of 0 to 20mA and 4 to 20mA making it suitable for most control systems.

The ADC of each channel is of high-resolution 12-bit to provide accurate input and output measurements. The module also incorporates a third-order low pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 1 kHz that assists in the elimination of unwanted signals to enhance the accuracy of the measurement. This is especially useful in the industrial setting as electromagnetic interference is always rife. At a standard operating temperature of 25 degrees C, the module exhibits good precision with a maximum gain error of 0. 08% for the 0 to 20mA range. Currently, it is 1% for the 4 to 20mA range. It also has a low offset error of 0. 03% for the 0 to 20 mA range, thus providing consistent performance under various conditions. The X20AI8321 provides a quick conversion time of just 1 ms thereby enabling real-time tracking and regulation. It also has a good common-mode rejection rate of 70dB at DC and 50Hz with a common-mode range of ~12V so that it can work in an electrically noisy environment. The module is designed for easy installation and can be installed in areas with an elevation of up to 2000 meters above sea level it has no reduction in its performance and can be mounted in any direction; either horizontally or vertically. It has acceptable performance when used in the environment of -25 to 60 degrees C for the horizontal position, and -25 to 50 degrees C for the vertical position.

The X20AI8321 is safe and reliable, as evidenced by its CE, ATEX Zone 2, and UL certifications. Other mechanical characteristics include a pitch of 12. 5~0. 2 mm and it is suitable for standard industrial configuration. Owing to its strong construction and a wide set of functionalities the module can be used in process control, manufacturing automation, and system monitoring. The product is available at Wake Industrial with a one-year warranty period.
