CMF
Combination Module: 8-Ch. A/D (±100 V) and 8-Ch. D/A (±10.0 V @ 10 mA)
The CMF smart function module provides a combined function alternative which mitigates SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, & Cost) system integration and configuration challenges. The CMF function essentially combines two of NAI’s popular functions onto a single-slot function module:
Analog-to-Digital (A/D) I/O Interface : The CMF smart function provides an Analog-to-Digital (A/D) I/O Interface (like the ADF smart function module) with eight (8) independent 16-bit Successive Approximation Register (SAR) A/D input channels which support a maximum input voltage range of ±100 V.
Digital-to-Analog (D/A) I/O Interface : The CMF smart function provides a Digital-to-Analog (D/A) I/O Interface (like the DA2 smart function module) with eight (8) independent 16-bit D/A output channels which offers ±10 VDC output with a maximum current of 10 mA.
By integrating these functionalities into a single module, the CMF streamlines system architecture, enhancing efficiency and reducing complexity in various system applications.

- Gain Error: ±0.10% FSR ± 0.02% x (maximum current in load (mA)), per channel. Example: The channel is expected to operate @ 2.5 mA maximum, therefore the effective gain error calculates to: (±0.10%) ± (0.02% x 2.5) = ±0.15% FSR

Example: Four channels @ 2.5 mA & three channels @ 5 mA, max., @ ±10 V range, so, the error calculates to: (±0.063 / 20) * (±25) = ±0.08% maximum (@ FSR of ±10 V, this specific example). (Source or Sink). Short circuit protected. When current exceeds 10 mA for I2T calculation, that channel is set to open circuit and a flag is set.
