1. SUMMARY
AI-7048 is capable of measuring and controlling four channels of temperature, and every channel
can define its own input specification.
AI-7048 can either work independently or cooperate with computer or PLC (Programmable Logic
Controller). It features:
● Providing up to four channels of configurable inputs, and supporting multiple thermocouple
inputs with auto reference junction compensation and linear voltage (mV) inputs with user
defined scale. Every channel has its own digital filtering and can adjust its filtering degree.
● High performance hardware design, which greatly decreased temperature drift and the
interference among the four channels. Therefore, this multi-channel instrument obtains the
same measurement accuracy and anti-interference ability as that of single channel instrument.
● Every channel has independent high/low alarms, and the alarms can be allocated to different
alarm outputs or to the same alarm output (Just available for Dimension E5).
● Friendly and customized operating interface leads to easy learning and simple manipulation.
Up to 12 parameters can be promoted to immediate operator access in Field Parameter Table.
● Advanced communication functions, compatible with the communication protocol of other AI
series instruments. One AI-7048 communicates with the host computer the same as four
independent controllers.
● Universal power supply of 100-240VAC or 24VDC.
● New generation D5/E5 rail mounted dimension. The width of D5 is only 22.5mm. The
instrument can be easily configured by connecting to handset display.
● ISO9001 and CE certified and satisfied with EMC standard, achieving world class level of quality,
anti-interference ability and safety. The power and all I/O terminals passed 4KV/5KHz EFT test,
and the instrument can work stably under interference.

① Upper display window, displays PV, parameter

code, etc. ①
② Lower display window, displays SV, parameter
value, channel no. or alarm code.
③ Setup key, for accessing parameter table and ②
conforming parameter modification.
④ Data shift key, or for switching the channel display
in manual/auto. ③ ④

⑤ Data decrease key, and also for displaying the A/M

previous channel. ⑥
⑤
⑥ Data increase key, and also for displaying the next RUN/HOLD STOP
channel.

Operation Instructions:
1. Switch between channels:
Press to display to the previous channel
Press to display the next channel.
Press can switch between auto multi-channel circulating display status and normal display.
2. Set parameters:
Keep pressing about 2 seconds can access Full Parameter Table (When the parameter lock
“Loc” isn't locked. Loc=808.)
Pressing can go to the next parameter,and pressing 、 or can modify a parameter.
Setpoints (SV) can be set by pressing 、 or
Press key to decrease the value.
Press key to increase the value.
Press key to move to the digit expected to modify.
Keep pressing or , the speed of decreasing or inscreasing value gets quick. The range of
setpoint is between the parameter SPL and SPH.
Pressing and holding can return to the preceding parameter. Pressing (don't release) and
then press key simultaneously can escape from the parameter table.
When the parameter is locked, pressing can display Field Parameter Table which includes up to
12 parameters selected by user.
The instrument will escape auomatically from the parameter table if no key is pressed within 25
seconds, and the change of the last parameter will not be saved.
3. Alarm display:
The channel number is displayed in the lower display window.
When high or low limit alarm occurs, the first digital on the left side flickeringly displays H or L.
When an input singal is out of range, for example, the thermocouple circuit is break, the upper
window will display the upper limit or lower limit, and the lower window will flicker.

4. MODE indication light:
When the instrument is communicating with the host computer, the light will keep flashing in
random speed.
When the instrument hasn’t received signal from the host computer more than 6 seconds, the
indication light should flicker with the same light on time and light off time.
It means:
The on-off period is as long as 1.6 second means no communication and no alarm (it can be
treated as normal);
The light flashing with period 0.6 second means no communication and some general error
occurs.
The light quickly flashing with period 0.3 second means no communication and severe error
such as input over range occurs.
The light keeping off means the instrument power off or damaged; the light keep on (longer
than 8 seconds) means the instrument power on but damaged.

(Note: x means channel number. It can be 1~4.)
Parameter Name Remarks Setting range
When COMM module interface is used for communication, bAud defines the
bAud Baud rate 0 ~ 19.2K bit/S
baud rate range is 300~19200bit/s.
Every instrument in the same communication line should be assigned to
different communication address. The communication applies AIBUS
Communication
Addr protocol. Every input channel takes one address. For example, if channel 0 ~ 80
address
number Cn=3 and Addr=10, then the communication address 10~12 are
assigned to the instrument.

dPtx is set to select display resolution for channel x

for linear inputs, the corresponding display resolution of dPt=0,1,2,3 are 0,
0.0, 0.00 and 0.000
dPtx Decimal point 0~3
For thermocouple inputs, when dPt=0, the display resolution is 1℃; when
dPt=1, the resolution is 0.1℃.
Note: dPt only affects the display, and has no effect on internal data.
SCLx Scale low limit -9999~+30000
SCL and SCH define the corresponding scale range of linear inputs as mV.
SCHx Scale high limit units
For thermocouple, the units of Scb is 0.1℃. For example, when Scb=-100,
-1999~+4000
Scbx Input offset the actual offset=-10℃, then the measured temperature will be 10℃ lower
units or 0.1℃
than that when Sc=0.
The value of FIL will determine the ability of filtering noise.
FIL=0, no filtering;
FIL=1, filtering with mean;
FIL=2~40, filtering with mean and integral.
When a large value is set, the measurement input is stabilized but the
FILx Digital filter 0~40
response speed is slow. Generally, it can be set to 1 to 3.
If strong interference exists, then you can increase parameter FIL gradually to
make momentary fluctuation of measured value less than 2 to 5.
When the instrument is being metrological verified, FIL can be set to 0 or 1 to
shorten the response time.

Proportional measurement range, the unit is the same as PV.

also be manually inputted if you already know the correct values.

Single channel relay module provides both normal open and normal close
output, while dual relay output module L5 only provides normal open output.

nonc = 0, AL1, AL2 (L5 is installed in ALM socket) are normal open output.
nonc = 127, AL1 and AL2 are normal close output
Loc=0, Allow to display and modify parameter “Loc” and the field parameters
which is defined in EP1~EP12 .
Loc=1, Allow to display and modify parameter “Loc”, and only display field
Loc Parameter lock parameters, can’t modify them. 0 ~9999
Loc=808, allow to display and set all parameters.
Note: This setting just effect on external display. Modify parameter by
communication was always allowed.
When configuration of the instrument is completed, most parameters will not
need to be set by field operators. Furthermore, field operators may not
understand many parameters, and may probably set parameters incorrectly
by mistake and make the instrument unable to work.
EP1~EP12 define 0~12 field parameters for operators’ use in parameter
Field table. Their parameter values are parameters except parameter EP itself, for
EP1-12 NonE~bAud
parameter example, H.AL1, L.AL1, .etc,
Parameters from EP1 to EP12 can define 12 field parameters at most, if the
number of field parameters is less than 12(sometimes even none), it is
necessary to define field parameters from EP1 to EP12 in order, the first
unused EP should be set to none.
For example, four parameters of SP1 to SP4 (all channels’ setpoints) are
6
need to be modified by field operators, the parameter EP can be set as :
EP1=SP1, EP2=SP2, EP3=SP3, EP4=SP4, EP5=none, Loc=0
Then only parameter SP1~4 can be displayed and modified, but via
communication, on the host computer, all parameters can be displayed and
modified.
