About Analogue To Digital Converter

Analogue to digital converter circuit internally fitted inside a plastic moulded case. Analogue signal 0-7V DC given by analogue input sockets is converted into digital output signal in 1V steps i.e. 001 for 1V, 010 for 2V and so on. Three LEDs are used for representation of binary digital signal. The output voltage against each LED directly comes out through 4mm sockets and can be used for coupling it with DAC instrument. Operating voltage for the instrument is 12V DC. For more sensitivity of lower range, a selector toggle switch marked with (0-7V/0-2V) is used

FAQ's of Analogue To Digital Converter:

Q: How do I install the Analogue to Digital Converter module for my application?

A: The ADC module can be mounted directly on a PCB or a DIN rail, depending on your selected model. Use standard connectors for both power and signal input, ensuring proper alignment and secure connection for stable operation.

Q: What benefits does the selectable resolution (8/10/12-bit) provide?

A: Selectable resolution allows users to balance between conversion speed and measurement accuracy. Higher bit resolutions (10/12-bit) deliver finer signal detail, ideal for precision tasks, while lower bits (8-bit) enable faster sampling rates and efficient processing for less demanding applications.

Q: When should I use optional optical isolation in my setup?

A: Optional optical isolation is recommended when you need to protect sensitive controller circuits from voltage spikes, ground loops, or electrical noise, particularly in industrial or high-interference environments.

Q: What interface types are supported and where are they commonly used?

A: This ADC supports parallel and serial interfaces, including SPI, I2C, and USART. These interfaces are widely adopted in automation equipment, microcontroller projects, and PC-based data acquisition systems for reliable, high-speed data communication.

Q: How is the module calibrated and what is its accuracy?

A: Each unit is factory calibrated to ensure immediate, reliable performance with an accuracy of 0.5% FSR (Full Scale Range). This guarantees trustworthy output without the need for field calibration.

Q: Can this ADC work with PLCs and microcontrollers?

A: Yes, the module is fully compatible with PLCs, microcontrollers, and PC data interface modules, making it suitable for a variety of automation and instrumentation projects.

Q: What are the protective features included in the ADC module?
