As a safe rule of thumb, if your signal source or sensor is not connected

directly to an LLGND pin on your PCM-DAS16x/12, it’s best to assume that

you do not have a common ground even if your voltmeter measured 0.0 Volts.

Configure your system as if there is ground offset voltage between the source

and the PCM-DAS16x/12.

4.1.6 Systems with Common Mode (ground offset) Voltages

The most frequently encountered grounding scenario involves grounds that

are somehow connected, but have AC and/or DC offset voltages between the

PCM-DAS16x/12 and signal source grounds. This offset voltage my be AC,

DC or both and may be caused by a wide array of phenomena including EMI

pickup, resistive voltage drops in ground wiring and connections, etc. Ground

offset voltage is a more appropriate term to describe this type of system, but

since our goal is to keep things simple, and help you make appropriate con-

nections, we’ll stick with our somewhat loose usage of the phrase Common

Mode.

4.1.7 Small Common Mode Voltages

If the voltage between the signal source ground and PCM-DAS16x/12 ground

is small, the combination of the ground voltage and input signal will not

exceed the CIO-DAS800’s +/-10V common mode range, (i.e. the voltage

between grounds, added to the maximum input voltage, stays within +/-10V),

This input is compatible with the PCM-DAS16x/12 and the system may be

connected without additional signal conditioning. Fortunately, most systems

will fall in this category and have a small voltage differential between

grounds.

4.1.8 Large Common Mode Voltages

If the ground differential is large enough, boards +/- 10V common mode

range will be exceeded (i.e. the voltage between PCM-DAS16x/12 and signal

source grounds, added to the maximum input voltage you’re trying to meas-

ure exceeds +/-10V). In this case the PCM-DAS16x/12 cannot be directly

connected to the signal source. You will need to change your system ground-

ing configuration or add isolation signal conditioning. (Please look at our

ISO-RACK and ISO-5B-series products to add electrical isolation, or give our

technical support group a call to discuss other options).
