Analog Inputs
The controllers support a variety of analog inputs. The input’s allowable voltage range varies
depending on the primary purpose of the input. Select the analog input that matches the application.

The measurement margin is +4% / –0% margin. This is for analog usage.
The full-scale accuracy is ± 2% over temperature (referenced to room temperature, 25°C).
The input signal filter is > 1 kHz for standard and pot inputs, > 40 kHz for encoder & sin/cos inputs.

When using potentiometer inputs, due to the dynamic tests (see text, below), the voltage reading is not constant. Use the input
percent variable for the throttle or controls value.
3
Increase voltage normalization range (analog_input_x_high) maximum limit to 30V for analog inputs, such that they can be used
as digital (switch) inputs without causing a voltage out-of-range fault.
