SNAP 2-Ch -20mA to +20mA Analog Current Input Module

Production Specification

The SNAP-AIMA provides two channels of -20 mA to +20 mA analog current input. The module does not supply loop excitation current. Although the two channels are not isolated from each other, the module is transformer isolated and optically isolated from other modules and devices.

Part of the SNAP PAC System, the module mounts on a SNAP PAC rack with a SNAP PAC brain or rack-mounted controller. Analog, digital, and serial I/O modules can all be on the same rack. Such an I/O unit is also well suited for PC-based control or for use as intelligent remote I/O for an Allen-Bradley Logix PLC system, such as ControlLogix, MicroLogix, or CompactLogix.

For a similar module that provides two isolated channels, see SNAP-AIMA-i.

For a module that provides two isolated channels and supplies loop excitation, see SNAP-AIMA-iSRC.

For SNAP PAC brains and rack-mounted controllers, we also have a four-channel module, the SNAP-AIMA-4, and a 32-channel module, the SNAP-AIMA-32.

Build your system in the SNAP I/O Configurator.

Case Study: New Bedford Panoramex makes air travel safer

Claremont, California-based New Bedford Panoramex Corporation (NBP) specializes in designing and developing air traffic control systems and lighting systems used in the aerospace and aviation industry. An examination of some of NBP’s most widely deployed lighting control systems finds that their key components are programmable automation controllers and intelligent I/O systems from Opto 22.

Among other things, the hardware provides the interface and intelligence used to sequence runway lights and adjust their intensity to provide guidance to pilots. For some of these systems, an Opto 22 SNAP PAC programmable automation controller replaces an embedded single-board controller that took five times as long to program (using “C” code) than the flowchart-based programming used for the SNAP PAC.

Case Study: University of California, Irvine

At the University of California, Irvine, Scientist Dr. John Garman and a team of his engineering students use an Opto 22 SNAP PAC System in their research of coal and biomass combustion. The SNAP PAC hardware controls the coal feed rate into an entrained flow reactor, monitors thermocouples that feed back process control data, monitors emissions, and acquires and logs data on operating conditions within the reactor.
