Sensor excitation, input range and input reference
Sensor excitation voltage
The sensor excitation voltage for the position sensor is given in the test and
calibration certificate. A typical value is 10 volts. If this value is greater than
10 VDC in the test certificate, the transmitter excitation must be provided by an
external supply because the Sensor Profibus Module can provide a maximum
supply voltage of 10 VDC.
Input range
The measurement signal from the transmitter or reference-signal sensor to be
connected to the Sensor Profibus Module must lie in the specified ranges.
Input reference
Select “Ground reference” as the measurement signal input reference for
measurements using reference signals or transmitters.
