6.7.1 Measuring methods and ranges
Introduction
Module SM 331; AI 8 x 12 Bit has measuring range modules
Use the measuring range module and the "measuring range" parameter in
STEP 7
to set the
measuring methods and measuring ranges.
The "voltage" measuring method and "± 10 V" measuring range are set by default at the
module. You can use those default settings without having to program the SM 331; AI 8 x 12
Bit in
STEP 7
.
Measuring range modules
Reposition the measuring range modules to suit the measuring method and range (see
chapter
Setting measuring methods and ranges of analog input channels
). The necessary
settings are also available on the module's imprint.
