Introduction

1.1 About the NuDAM Analog Input Modules

The NuDAM provides a series of analog input modules which can sense
the analog signal or to control the remote devices. The basic features of
each module are shown here.

• NuDAM-6011/D: multi-functions high gain analog input module

• NuDAM-6012/D: multi-functions analog input module

• NuDAM-6013: 3 channels RTD input module

• NuDAM-6014D:Analog (Transmitter) input module with LED

display

• NuDAM-6017: 8 channels analog input module

• NuDAM-6018: 8 channels thermocouple input module

The models with an extended D have the same command set and
specification as without D, except the D version has a 5 1/2 LED
Display.

1.2 Overview of NuDAM-6011/D

What is NuDAM-6011/D ?

NuDAM-6011/D is a multi-functions analog input module with cold
junction compensation (CJC). The maximum input voltage range of
analog input channel is ±2.5V. The high gain feature allows very small
full range of ±15mV. To measure temperature by directly connect the
thermocouple is possible because of using the CJC inside and the high
gain feature. The voltage range of the ADC can be set according to
different types of thermocouple. The ADC can be calibrated by

Introduction • 1

programming without handy adjustment. This features insure the best
performance under different environment.
The module provides the analog signal monitor or the alarm function.
The high and low bound of the alarm limit is programmable. The alarm
status can be sent to digital output channels if this function is ON. The
supervisor of a factory can ‘see’ or ‘hear’ the alarm if the digital output
channel control a real alarm device. The two digital output channels can
be set for general-purpose use if the alarm is disabled.
For example, connecting relay devices to DO channels, the
NuDAM-6011/D can be used to control the high power devices.
The module provides another one digital input channel. This can be
used for general purpose such as monitor digital signal, or be used as
input of the event counter.

Features of NuDAM-6011/D

• 1 analog input channel with differential input

• Programmable voltage range with high gain amplifier
