0/4 to 20 mA monitoring
SIMOCODE pro supports two-phase monitoring of the analog signals of a transducer
(standardized 0/4 - 20 mA output signal). The analog signals are fed to the
"0/4 to 20 mA monitoring" function block via the analog module.
Addressing plug
The addressing plug is necessary to enable the hardware-based allocation of the
PROFIBUS DP address to a basic unit without a PC / PG.
Analog module (AM)
The analog module provides a way of optionally extending the basic unit with analog inputs
and outputs (0/4 - 20 mA). This makes it possible to measure and monitor any process
variables that can be mapped onto a 0/4 to 20 mA signal. The automation system has free
access to the measured process variables.
Application data unit (ADU)
Modbus application data unit.
ATEX
French abbreviation for "atmosphère explosible" (explosive atmosphere).
Synonym for the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
