Analog Input on CPU

Yes. Siemens can do this and, joy of joys, it's only a simple telephone call.

Siemens make a lot of CPUs. Any particular one?

You cannot adjust the SPAM, that really depends on how many cookies you are getting.

Signal conditioners are used all the time, but in many cases where ultimate precision and accuracy are not needed, you can use a simple high impedance voltage divider and get acceptable results, just remember to include the signal factor (if needed) in any further logic tree about this temperature.

Why not use a digital temperature sensor (if the temperature range matches your application).

Hopefully, Brandon understands the difference between SPAM and SPAN, but I think it is a mistake to take it for granted. Not everyone recognizes sarcasm when they read it...

Everyone who tries it adjusts Spam. Who can eat it straight out of the can????

Oh, I guess US Army soldiers had to in WWII. My Dad never ate Spam again in his life after getting out of the service.

"Everyone who tries it adjusts Spam." What does it mean to adjust Spam?

Actually, I am rather fond of the kind of Spam you are referring to. It's best sliced and browned in a frying pan, but yes, I can eat it right out of the can, sliced as lunchmeat. Unfortunately, my wife thinks it's not healthy, so I rarely get to enjoy it!

Of course I was thinking of computer SPAM, without the slightest thought of SPiced Ham.

I totally agree that drinking something named "SPAM" is too far out there for most folk, me too. If I need energy, I just take some peanut butter, or even coconut oil (very good to long sustaining energy), and a bit of apple juice brings quick energy and alertness also, but without aggressive ingestion of caffeine.

I don't know which microcontroller you are using, but usually the analog input has a reference input. You should be able to connect the +5 of the temperature sensor to this reference input as shown in the diagram. The A/D converter converts the input voltage to a digital value between 0 (for 0 volts) and the maximum digital value (e.g. 4095 for a 12-bit converter) for the Reference voltage.

I repeat, in that temperature range (to 150 °C, there are digital temperature sensors which only require three wire connection: Vss, GND, and digital one wire (transceive).

Not only that, but multiple sensors can be attached to one digital input, because the sensors have their own IP address built in, thus CPU knows which sensor is being polled.

If that does not sort it out for you, then yeah, by all means go with the 10 or 12 bit analog input (or whatever you have available). If not enough resolution, then utilize special signal averaging to get better results (average some of the digital results).

What is the resolution of that ADC? How many bits?

Something to consider: the AD 22100 is accurate to around ±2%. Plus or minus one part in 50. That's actually not very good. If that ADC were only 8 bits, for example, and you didn't condition the sensor's output to the full 0-10V ADC range but input the sensor's 0-5V signal without any scaling - in other words, you're using only 7 of those ADC bits - you'd still have at least twice the ADC resolution needed for a sensor of that (in)accuracy.

Now, if your Siemen's processor has an ADC reference input, use it in the manner suggested in Rixter's post, above. Otherwise, if that ADC is 8 bits or more and the input range is fixed at 0-10V, I'd simply run the 0-5V signal into the ADC directly and do the appropriate scaling in software. More ADC bits means better resolution but not necessarily better accuracy where that sensor is concerned.

The more times you process a signal, the more error you include. You need to check to see that doubling the span doesn't introduce more error overall.

Siemens makes 12 to 16 bit resolution input modules, the 16 bit ones, 15 bit plus sign are SM 331 6ES7331-7NF00 or 7NF10- with hardware interrupt at conclusion of conversion.

Their single ended 0-10V input modules are only 13 bit, so not as good resolution as +/-10Vdc at 16 bit conversion, I think.

The 0-5V transducer, if you were able to span it to 1-5Vdc, you'd have a perfect match to a standard Siemens 16 bit as listed above.
