NI FP-AI-112 FieldPoint 16-Channel Analog Voltage Input Module

The NI FP-AI-112 FieldPoint 16-Channel Analog Voltage Input Module acquires high-accuracy voltage measurements across 16 independent input channels. This delta-sigma ADC module delivers 16-bit resolution and supports eight configurable input ranges from ±60 mV to ±10 V, accommodating both unipolar and bipolar signals. Overranging capability extends measurement limits to ±10.4 V, compensating for field device span errors up to 4% of full scale and preventing clipping errors. Configurable 50/60 Hz noise rejection filters provide 95 dB rejection at the fundamental frequency and ≥60 dB at harmonics; a 500 Hz filter option enables faster update rates. The module mounts directly on FieldPoint terminal bases or Compact FieldPoint backplanes, drawing approximately 350 mW from the host system.
