Information About 5094-IF8

The 5094-IF8 FLEX 5000 module delivers advanced analog input capabilities with eight configurable channels for current and voltage measurement. It uses Sigma-Delta and 24-bit multiplexed A/D conversion, achieving scan times as low as 360 μs per channel. Data is processed in IEEE 754 and 32-bit floating-point formats, with support for scaling, timestamping, real-time alarming, and CIP Sync. Built with HART handheld compliance, it simplifies integration with smart field devices. The module operates on 18–32 VDC supply voltage, provides up to 120 mA SA current, and dissipates 3.5 W (11.94 BTU/h) in current mode. Designed for robust applications, it is factory-calibrated but also supports user calibration. With certifications up to SIL 3/PLe/Cat. 4 and an operating temperature range of –40 to 70 °C, the 5094-IF8 ensures reliable operation even in hazardous Class I, Division 2, Zone 2 environments.
