31.8.2.12 External Driver - Analog Input/Output Module (3 points)

Input

Configure the module's analog input terminal settings.

Data Format

Select the data format for analog input from the following.

[Disable]
[Voltage (0 - 10V)]
[Voltage (-10 - +10V)]
[Current (0 - 20mA)]
[Current (4 - 20mA)]
[K Thermocouple]
[J Thermocouple]
[R Thermocouple]
[S Thermocouple]
[B Thermocouple]
[E Thermocouple]
[T Thermocouple]
[N Thermocouple]
[C Thermocouple]
[Pt100]
[Pt1000]
[Ni100]
[Ni1000]

  • When [Disable] is selected in [Data Format], the values in the [Data Range] will be set to defaults.

Fixed

The analog values in the voltage and current input settings are displayed inside the range of the data format. The value on the display unit is the input value multiplied by 1000.

  • This is displayed only when [Voltage (0 - 10V)], [Voltage (-10 - +10V)], [Current (0 - 20mA)] or [Current (4 - 20mA)] is selected in [Data Format].

User Defined (Maximum/Minimum)

The analog values in the voltage and current temperature input settings are displayed within the [Maximum] and [Minimum] settings.

The available values are as follows.

Maximum: minimum to 32767

Minimum: -32768 to maximum

Celsius/Fahrenheit

The sensor temperature ranges for the [Data Format] are as follows. The value on the display unit is the input value multiplied by 10.

K Thermocouple -200 to 1300℃ / -328 to 2372℉
J Thermocouple -200 to 1000℃ / -328 to 1832℉
R Thermocouple 0 to 1760℃ / 32 to 3200℉
S Thermocouple 0 to 1760℃ / 32 to 3200℉
B Thermocouple 0 to 1820℃ / 32 to 3308℉
E Thermocouple -200 to 800℃ / -328 to 1472℉
T Thermocouple -200 to 400℃ / -328 to 752℉
N Thermocouple -200 to 1300℃ / -328 to 2372℉
C Thermocouple 0 to 2315℃ / 32 to 4199℉
Pt100 -200 to 850℃ / -328 to 1562℉
Pt1000 -200 to 600℃ / -328 to 1112℉
Ni100 -60 to 180℃ / -76 to 356℉
Ni1000 -60 to 180℃ / -76 to 356℉

The displayed value (-2000 to 6000) is 10 times the input value ranging from -200.0℃ to 600.0℃.

The displayed value (-3280 to 11120) is 10 times the input value (-328.0℉ to 1112.0℉).

Filter (x 10 ms)

In 10 ms increments, set the time to reach 63% of the calculated value in the [Sampling] property. It then takes 5 times the set time to reach 99% of the value.
Note that if 0 is set, no filter is applied and the calculated value in the [Sampling] property is used.

Sampling

Select the sampling period for calculating the moving average of input values, from [1ms/Channel], [10ms/Channel], and [100ms/Channel]. The available sampling periods depend on the TM3 module used.

Output

Configures settings for module analog output terminals.

Data Format

Select the data format for analog output from the following.

[Disable]
[Voltage (0 - 10V)]
[Voltage (-10 - +10V)]
[Current (0 - 20mA)]
[Current (4 - 20mA)]

  • When [Disable] is selected in [Data Format], the values set in [User Defined (Maximum/Minimum)] and [Retain Output] will be set to defaults.

Fixed

The analog values in the voltage and current output settings are displayed in the range of the data type. The value on the display unit is the output value multiplied by 1000.

  • This is displayed only when [Voltage (0 - 10V)], [Voltage (-10 - +10V)], [Current (0 - 20mA)] or [Current (4 - 20mA)] is selected in [Data Format].

User Defined (Maximum/Minimum)

The analog values in the voltage and current output settings appear within the range of [Maximum] and [Minimum] settings.

The available values are as follows.

Maximum: minimum to 32767

Minimum: -32768 to maximum

  • This is displayed only when [Voltage (0 - 10V)], [Voltage (-10 - +10V)], [Current (0 - 20mA)] or [Current (4 - 20mA)] is selected in [Data Format].

Retain Output

Select whether or not you want to retain output values when the logic is stopped. Select [Enable] to retain output values even if the logic stops.

  • This is displayed only when [Voltage (0 - 10V)], [Voltage (-10 - +10V)], [Current (0 - 20mA)] or [Current (4 - 20mA)] is selected in [Data Format].
