Isolated measuring sensors
The isolated measuring sensors are not connected to the local ground potential. They can be
floating. Depending on local conditions or interference, potential differences U
CM
(static or
dynamic) can occur between the measuring lines M- of the input channels and the reference
point of the measuring circuit M
ANA
.
To ensure that the permitted value for U
CM
is not exceeded in environments with strong EMC
interference, the following applies:
•
In the case of the analog input modules 2AI U, 2AI I 4WIRE, and 2AI TC: Connect M-
with M
ANA
!
•
When connecting two-wire measuring transducers for current measurement and when
connecting resistance-type sensors, you must not connect M- to M
ANA
.
The following figure illustrates the connection of isolated measuring sensors to the floating
analog input modules.
