The converted digital data reaches to the internal control circuit through optical isolator. Every time when the T2 CPU requests to read the converted data, the internal control circuit sends the data to the T2 CPU. The AD268's parameters are stored in the EEPROM. User’s Manual...
3. Input Type Setting The AD268 supports multiple input ranges, 5V, 10V, 0 to 5V, 0 to 10V, 1 to 5V, 0 to 20mA, or 4 to 20mA. The input range is selected by jumper plug setting and the parameter writing by the T2 program.
PART 1 AD268 3.2 Parameter setting by software The input range of the AD268 is specified by writing the following parameter data into the AD268's buffer memory. To access the buffer memory, T2 user program (READ and WRITE instructions) is required.
