ControlWaveLP    Introduction / 1-17 
There are 8 LEDs (CR49 - CR56), located adjacent to the DO Terminal Block (TB2). These 
LEDs (which can be disabled by a jumper) indicate the status of the logic state of the 
Discrete Outputs.

FMI/OB Bd. Analog Inputs
The Analog Input module is composed of signal conditioning circuitry, analog multiplexers 
to select the field analog inputs and the reference voltages to the instrumentation amplifier, 
an analog to digital converter, opto-isolation circuitry, control circuitry and the bus 
interface. The board is designed to support eight (8) 1-5V or 4-20mA isolated inputs or 4-
20mA loops powered from a field source. An isolated DC/DC converter powers the ADC, 
instrumentation amplifier and multiplexers. Optocouplers are used for the control circuitry. 
The common mode range for the Analog Inputs is 38VDC. The input signals and on board 
reference voltages are attenuated with forty to one attenuators. A low pass filter sets the 
cutoff frequency to 3 Hz. Analog multiplexers select one of the four channels or the 
reference voltages. An instrumentation amplifier converts the differential signal to a single 
ended signal and amplifies the signal 10X and is followed by a 4X gain circuit. Four 
potentiometers are required to set the 1V and 5V references and to adjust the offset and 
gain of the 4X circuit. 
A 14 bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) is used to digitize the conditioned signals. Op-
tocouplers are used for data and control signals. The serial digitized data is assembled into 
a 14 bit parallel value which is placed on the system data bus. 
There are eight sets of configuration jumpers (W20A/W20B - W27A/W27B) used to 
configure Analog Inputs AI1 - AI8.
