4.2.3 Features of the analog modules
Characteristics
● 8 inputs in 4 channel groups (each group with two inputs of same type)
● Measurement resolution adjustable for each channel group
● User defined measuring mode per channel group:
– Voltage
– Current
– Resistance
– Temperature
● Programmable diagnostic interrupt
● Two channels with limit alarms (only channel 0 and channel 2 are configurable)
● Electrically isolated against backplane bus
● Electrically isolated against load voltage (exception: at least one module is set to position
D)
The module is a universal analog module designed for the most commonly used
applications.
The desired measuring mode should be set up directly on the module with the measuring
range modules.
