8 – 1440 Channels · LVDT · Strain Gauge · Thermocouple · RTD · 4–20 mAModular, expandable data acquisition and control system supporting virtually any analog transducer. Operates standalone or with PROsof / AUTOmate PC software. 8 to 1440 channels in a single system. No external signal conditioning required.
AI8000+ Series
The AI8000+ is a microprocessor-based, computer-compatible measurement and control system that accepts virtually any analog transducer directly — LVDT, load cell, strain gauge, thermocouple, RTD, and 4–20 mA signals — without external signal conditioning modules. The totally wire-free modular construction allows plug-and-play channel expansion from 8 channels up to 1440 in a single networked system.
Three base configurations address different industries: AI8000+/1 for engineering research and structural testing (strain gauge rosettes, AC LVDT), AI8000+/2 for industrial process plants (4–20 mA loops, RTD, DC LVDT), and AI8000+/3 for high-channel multi-sensor measurement. All configurations share the same accuracy class — 0.05% FSR for most input types.
Inputs: Strain gauge bridges, AC/DC LVDT, thermocouples, load cells, rosettes
Master: 48 channels · Extender: 96 ch / unit (up to 7 units)
Inputs: 4–20 mA, 0–20 mA, DC LVDT, RTD, thermocouples, ±V signals
