Sensor Configuration
• AIC controller object
• Sensor engineering data
• Converting data to voltages
 Sensor Configuration

AIC controller object

• AIC = Analog Input Configuration
• The AIC converts electrical signals to engineering
values
• For example, thermistor resistance in Ohms to
temperature in degrees

• BAPI Sensor
 Sensor Configuration

3.3k Thermistor example

• Input measures voltage from 0-5V
• To convert resistance to voltage
V = 5 * Ohms / (10000 + Ohms)
• V = 5 * 9369 / (10000 + 9369) = 2.419 volts

Humidity sensor example

• BAPI 0-10V sensor
• Vaic = Vinput / 2

General Formulas

Sensor signal type Formula for voltage

Resistance Vaic = 5 * Ohms / (10000 + Ohms)
0-5 Volts Vaic = Vinput
0-10 Volts Vaic = Vinput / 2
4-20 mA Vaic = mA / 4
