1. Before You Begin
Review the warnings in this section and the best practice
recommendations (see “Best Practices” on page 11) when using and
handling the WINSYSTEMS PX1-I440-ADC. Following these
recommendations provides an optimal user experience and prevents
damage. Read through this document and become familiar with the PX1-
I440-ADC before proceeding.
1.1 Warnings
Only qualified personnel should configure and install the PX1-I440-ADC.
While observing best practices, pay particular attention to the following:.
2. Introduction
This manual provides configuration and usage information for the PX1-
I440-ADC. If you still have questions, contact Technical Support at (817)
274-7553, Monday through Friday, between 8 AM and 5 PM Central
Standard Time (CST).
Refer to the WINSYSTEMS website at http://www.winsystems.com/ for
other accessories (including cable drawings and pinouts) that can be used
with your PX1-I440-ADC.
3. Functionality
The PX1-I440-ADC is an industrial data acquisition module for embedded
systems with PCIe/104 OneBank™ expansion. This module features eight
differential analog-to-digital converter (ADC) inputs based on Analog
Devices’ LTC2335-16 ADC. Analog to digital inputs terminate to a single 16-
pin box header. The PX1-I440-ADC provides flexible voltage ranges from
0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 5.12 V, ±5 V, ±5.12 V, 0 V to 10 V, 0 V to 10.24 V, ±10 V, and
±10.24 V.
The PX1-I440-ADC-420 configuration includes precision resistors on board
for measuring 4-20 mA current loop inputs from a variety of sensors.
FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THESE BEST PRACTICES MAY DAMAGE THE PX1-I440-
ADC AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Only handle the circuit board and other bare electronics when electrostatic
discharge (ESD) protection is in place. Having a wrist strap and a fully grounded
workstation is the minimum ESD protection required before the ESD seal on
the product bag is broken.
