8B modules are an optimal solution for monitoring real-world process signals and providing high-level signals to a data acquisition system. Each 8B36 input module isolates, filters, and amplifies a single channel of potentiometer input and provides an analog voltage output.

Excitation for the potentiometer is provided by using two matched current sources. When using a 3-wire connection, this method allows equal currents to flow through the sensor leads, canceling the effects of lead resistances.The excitation currents are small (equal to or less than 0.25mA) which minimizes self-heating of the potentiometer.

Signal filtering is accomplished with a 3-pole filter optimized for time and frequency response which provides 70dB of normal-mode rejection at 60Hz. One pole of this filter is on the field side of the isolation barrier for anti-aliasing, and the other two are on the system side.

A special input circuit on the 8B36 module provides protection against accidental connection of power-line voltages up to 240VAC. Clamp circuits on the I/O and power terminals protect against harmful transients. The modules are designed for installation in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations and have a high level of immunity to environmental noise.
