Note
The outputs of the Analog Module are
passive outputs. Thus, to configure an analog output
circuit, each output will also require an isolated current source connected in series. If the
output of the Analog Module is not being used by another application, it can also be used as
current source f
or an Analog Module output circuit. The "start value of value range" and the
"end value of value range" of the Analog Module output have to be set to 65535 for this.
Thus, the maximum possible current will be available via the Analog Module output.
Application examples
1. Output of the effective motor current - across the entire motor current range.
The motor current of a motor ranges from 0 to 8 A.
The rated current I
N
of the motor at nominal load is 2 A.
The parameterized set current I
s
in Device Integration Manager corresponds to the rated
current I
N
(2 A). In SIMOCODE pro, representation of the effective phase currents or the
maximum current (current IL_1, IL_2, IL_3, max. current I_
max
) corresponds to the
selected range as a percentage of the parameterized Set Current I
s
:
– 0 A motor current corresponds to 0 % of I
s
– 8 A motor current corresponds to 400 % of I
s
– The smallest unit for the effective motor current in SIMOCODE pro is 1 %.
As a result,
– the "start value of value range (CiR)" to be selected is: 0
– the "end value of value range (CiR)" to be selected is: 400.
When the parameterized "output signal" = 0 - 20 mA:
– 0 % Motor Current corresponds to: 0 mA at the Analog Module Output
– 400 % Motor Current corresponds to: 20 mA at the Analog Module Output.
When the parameterized "Output Signal" = 4 - 20 mA:
– 0 % Motor Current corresponds to: 4 mA at the Analog Module Output
– 400 % Motor Current corresponds to: 20 mA at the Analog Module Output.
