Analog Interface Unit

The Analog Interface Unit (AIU) is an interface 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 ProScale 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 the digital position and compares 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.
