Deactivation of Unused Analog Input Lines
Analog input lines which are not used should be deactivated to avoid interferences. To deactivate
an unused analog input line, the following settings must be done:
Exclude the analog input line from the calculation of axis positions by setting its coefficients for all
axes to zero in the input matrix (Position from Sensor n parameters).
Make sure that the analog input line is not connected to an axis for control value generation. This
means that the value of the ADC Channel For Target parameter, ID 0x06000500, for all axes must
be different from the ID of the analog input line.
Example: The input signal channel 7 (pins 5 and 12 of Analog I/O) of an E-727.3CDA model is to be
deactivated temporarily (i.e. in volatile memory). The input matrix coefficients of that channel
correspond to the Position from Sensor 7 parameters (ID 0x07000506) for axis 1 to axis 3.
Send:
SPA 1 0x07000506 0 2 0x07000506 0 3 0x07000506 0
to exclude the analog input line from the axis position calculation. Then send:
SPA? 1 0x06000500 2 0x06000500 3 0x06000500
to check the RAM settings for the axis control value generation. The response must be different
from 7 for all axes, i.e. if the E-727 replies
1 0x06000500=7
2 0x06000500=3
3 0x06000500=0
then input signal channel 7 is still connected to axis 1, and you have to send
SPA 1 0x06000500 0
to disconnect it.
Analog-Input-Related Commands and Parameters
Adds an offset value to the analog input scaled value
(Analog Target Offset, ID 0x06000501). This offset is
active as long as the analog input is enabled as control
source for this axis.
Reads the current value of Analog Target Offset,
parameter ID 0x06000501, from volatile memory
Memory Parameters
Can be used to set the power-on default configuration for
analog input usage.
Memory Parameters
Reads the current parameter values from nonvolatile
memory
Parameters
Can be used to set a temporary configuration for analog
input usage.
SPA? Get Temporary
Memory Parameters
Reads the current parameter values from volatile memory
