Figure 8 Analog Input Function Block
Maximum number of analog inputs is seven. The first five chan-
nels, AITAC, AI1, AI2, AI3 and AI4, are available with the SDCS-
CON-2 or SDCS-IOB-3 boards. The last two channels, AI5 and
AI6, are connected by means of the SDCS-IOE-1 extension I/O
board.
Analog inputs are scaled with parameters:
HIGH VALUE (1XX) = value in OUT+ (XXXXX) that corresponds to
maximum input value (normally +10V or +20 mA).
and
LOW VALUE (1XX) = value in OUT+ (XXXXX) that corresponds to
minimum input value (normally -10V or +20 mA).
If offset balancing is needed, the value of the HIGH and LOW
VALUE has to be increased or decreased slightly.
Note. The temperature measurements are scaled internally in AI2
and AI3 (Ω or °C). The parameters HIGH VALUE and LOW VALUE
have no significance in that case.
Signal Type Selection for In-
puts
The input signal type is defined by parameter CONV MODE (1XX).
The following table shows all possible values for analog input sig-
nals in the DCS500B software.
