2108 Analog Output Module
Section 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview The 2108 Analog Output Module converts digital data from an
Isco 2150, 2110, 2151, or 2151P Flow System module to analog
output. The data can then be read by a SCADA (Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition), DCS (distributed control system)
or other control system instrument. The 2108 is designed to
output three 2100 series measurement parameters, typically
flow, level, and velocity data.
The 2108 is an ABS, NEMA 1 box (see Figure 1-1) with a DIN
rail mount on the back (Figure 1-2). This allows for easy instal-
lation in an equipment box/panel or a control room.
A six-pin network connector on the front of the unit is used to
configure the module using Isco’s Flowlink software, and can also
be used to retrieve data using a Flowlink or Isco’s Field Wizard.
Figure 1-1 2108 Analog Output Module - Front View
The terminal strip on the front of the 2108 provides connections
to a customer supplied external power supply, network connec-
tions for transmission of digital data from a 2150, 2151, or 2151P
module, and three analog channel pairs which can be connected
to a SCADA system or other secondary instrument.
The front of the unit also contains an LED, which identifies the
module when connected to Flowlink or a Field Wizard. It also
indicates network activity.

Figure 1-2 2108 Analog Output Module - Back View
There are three connection cables that are used with the 2108. A
power/communication cable (P/N 60-2004-219) attaches to the
2100 series module and to the network terminal strip on the
2108. The connector on the front of the 2108 is used to connect to
a laptop computer (using RS-232 communication cable P/N
60-2004-046) or a Field Wizard (using communication cable P/N
60-2004-056).
Connections are described in Section 2, which provides more
detailed installation and operation instructions.
