Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the update time of the 170AAI52040 module?

This module updates its analog input values every 500 milliseconds. This suits applications where fast response is not critical but accuracy is important.

Why choose differential analog inputs?

Differential inputs provide superior noise rejection in industrial environments. They ensure more accurate measurements than single-ended inputs, especially over longer cable runs.

What does 400V DC channel isolation provide?

The isolation prevents signal interference between measurement channels. It also protects the module from voltage spikes that could damage sensitive electronics.

Is this module suitable for high-speed control applications?

With its 500ms update time, the 170AAI52040 is best for slower process monitoring. Consider faster modules for motion control or rapid closed-loop applications.

How does this module compare to the 170AAI03000?

The 170AAI52040 has 4 channels with 500ms update, while the 170AAI03000 offers 8 channels with 12ms update. Choose based on your channel count and speed requirements.
