Channel groups
The channels of the SM 331; AI 8 14 Bit High Speed are arranged in four
groups of two. You can only ever assign parameters to one channel group.
The SM 331; AI 8 14 Bit High Speed has a measuring range module for each
channel group.
The table below shows which channels are parameterized as a channel group in
each case. You will need the channel group number to set the parameters in the
user program with an SFC.

Special characteristic of channel groups for hardware interrupts
You can set hardware interrupts in STEP 7 for the channel groups 0 and 1. Note,
however, that a hardware interrupt is set only for the first channel in the channel
group in each case – in other words, for channel 0 or channel 2.
Diagnostics
You will find the diagnostic messages that are grouped under the “group diagnosis”
parameter in Table 4-47 on page 4-73 of the reference manual.
