31.8.2.13 External Driver - Analog Input/Output Module (6 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)]

  • When [Disable] is selected in [Data Format], the values in [User Defined (Maximum/Minimum)] 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 input 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].

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].
