13.3.1 UNIVERSAL INPUTS / Block diagram
13.3.1.1 UIPX SETUP / UIP(2) to (9) Input range PIN 3(2)0 to 3(9)0
The + /-5 V and + /-10 V ranges are the most accurate (0.4 %, typically 0.1%).
The + /-20V and + /-30 V ranges use resistor divider networks and the absolute accuracy is 4 %. Also, if the
same signal is used externally else where, then it is important that the source impedance of the signal
connected to the terminal is as lo w as possible. This is because as the PL/X scans the inputs, the input
impedance will vary bet ween 100K and 50K for these ranges. A source of signal with a high input impedance
will be affected by the change in input resistance. This will not affect the accuracy of the reading within the
PL/X, but may cause an external measurement by another instrument to vary. It is important to remember
this w hen commissioning, as readings at the control terminals with a voltmeter may show slight variations if
the source impedance is high. The 5V and 10V ranges are not affected by source impedance.
13.3.1.2 UIPX SETUP / UIP(2) to (9) Input offset PIN 3(2)1 to 3(9)1
Note. + /-100% alw ays represents a + /-10Volts offset independant of the selected range. So when the
range selected is either 5V, 20 V or 3 0V the offset addition remains at + /10 V for + /-1 00 %, and hence no
longer represents a true percentage of the range. Whereas for the default 10V input range the offset
percentage represents the volts and the true percentage.
E. g. for a 2V offset to a signal using the 30V range enter the value 20.00 %.
The offset is added or subtracted prior to the scaling function.
This offset does not affect the signal used for the digital threshold comparison.
There are 2 independent
digital outputs driven by the
comparator.
Each has a G O TO connection
plus a value for high and a
value for lo w.
