Analog Inputs 2-15
Value Display
Parameters are available in the Monitoring Group to view the actual value
of an analog input regardless of its use in the application. Whether it is a
current limit adjustment, speed reference or trim function, the incoming
value can be read via these parameters.
The value displayed includes the input value plus any factory hardware
calibration value, but does not include scaling information programmed by
the user (i.e. [Analog In 1 Hi/Lo]). The units displayed are determined by
the associated configuration bit (Volts or mA)
Cable Selection
Important points to remember:
• Always use copper wire.
• Wire with an insulation rating of 600V or greater is recommended.
• Control and signal wires should be separated from power wires by at
least 0.3 meters (1 foot).
Important:I/O terminals labeled “–” or “Common”
are not referenced to
ground and are designed to greatly reduce common mode
interference. Grounding these terminals can cause signal noise.

!
ATTENTION: Configuring an analog input for 0-20mA operation
and driving it from a voltage source could cause component dam-
age. Verify proper configuration prior to applying input signals.
!
ATTENTION: Hazard of personal injury or equipment damage
exists when using bipolar input sources. Noise and drift in sensitive
input circuits can cause unpredictable changes in motor speed and
direction. Use speed command parameters to help reduce input
source sensitivity.
