4.3.3  Tab: I/O Submodule AI32_01: Channels 
The I/O Submodule AI32_01:Channels tab contains the following parameters and 
statuses for each analog input. Global variables can be assigned to the statuses and 
parameters with -> and used in the user program. The value without -> must be directly 
entered. 
Name 
Data 
type 
R/W  Description 
Channel no.  ---  R  Channel number, defined by default 
-> Process Value 
[REAL] 
REAL R 
Process value determined using the intermediate data points 
4 mA and 20 mA. 
4 mA  REAL  W 
Intermediate data point used to calculate the process value 
on the lowest scale final value (4 mA) of the channel. 
Default setting: 4.0 
20 mA  REAL  W 
Intermediate data point used to calculate the process value 
on the highest scale final value (20 mA) of the channel. 
Default setting: 20.0 
-> Raw Value [DINT]  DINT  R 
Unprocessed measured value of the channel: 0...200 000 
(0...20 mA). 
If the raw value is evaluated instead of the process value, the 
user must program the monitoring function and the value in 
the event of faults from within the user program. 
-> Channel OK  BOOL  R  TRUE: Faultless channel 
The process value is valid. 
FALSE: Faulty channel 
The process value is set to 0. 
Sup. used  BOOL  W 
Activated: If a fault occurs in the transmitter supply, the 
module reports a channel fault and sets the input value to 0. 
Deactivated: If a fault occurs in the transmitter supply, the 
module reports no channel fault and the input value is not 
defined. 
Default setting: Activated 
-> Sup. OK  BOOL  R  TRUE: No faults in the transmitter supply  
FALSE: The transmitter supply is faulty. 
OC Limit  DINT  W  Threshold in mA for detecting an open-circuit 
If the analog measured value falls under OC Limit, the 
module detects an open-circuit and switches off the Channel 
LED for this channel. 
Default setting: 36 000 (3.6 mA) 
-> OC  BOOL  R  TRUE: One open-circuit present 
FALSE: No open-circuit present 
Defined through OC Limit 
SC Limit  DINT  W  Threshold in mA for detecting a short-circuit 
If the measured analog value exceeds SC Limit, the module 
detects a short-circuit and sets the Channel LED for this 
channel to Blinking2. 
Default setting: 213 000 (21.3 mA) 
-> SC  BOOL  R  TRUE: One short-circuit present 
FALSE: No short-circuit present 
Defined through SC Limit 
SP LOW  DINT  W  Upper limit of LOW level 
SP LOW (switching point LOW) is the limit value: if this limit is 
exceeded, the detects a LOW and switches the Channel LED 
off. 
Restriction: SP LOW ≤ SP HIGH 
Default setting: 39 500 (3.95 mA)
