About the F0-08ADH-1
The Automation Direct F0-08ADH-1 is an analog current input module. Developed for the DirectLogic 05 and DirectLogic 06 series, this eight-channel module is compatible with both series' programmable logic controllers. This unit converts incoming analog signals into 16-bit digital signals compatible with the controller. The internal CPU of the PLC reads each of the eight channels in a single scan. Module installation is simple, with terminal blocks easily removable without rewiring the controller.
A 16-bit resolution ensures that the data conversions F0-08ADH-1 make are accurate and precise. Active analog filtering combined with an integrated microprocessor further ensures precise conversion accuracy. As the module interacts with microprocessors, specific software requirements must be met. When installed in a DL05 controller, DirectSOFT32 version 3.0c or later and firmware version 5.20 or later are needed to operate. If installed in a DL06 PLC, DirectSOFT32 version 4.0, build 16 or later, and firmware version 2.30 or later are required to run.
Following proper storage and installation parameters is necessary to maintain the F0-08ADH-1 model's integrity. When installed in a PLC, ambient temperatures of the operating facility can range between 0°C and 55°C or 32°F and 131°F. Storage temperatures can vary more than operating temperatures. When not in use, temperatures can fall as low as -20°C, or -4°F, and as high as 70°C, or 158°F. Automation Direct provided original technical support for the F0-08ADH-1. Refer to the corresponding user manual and device datasheet for all wiring and installation guidelines.
