17.1 Shunt Resistor for Current Input
DC current input can be measured by attaching a shunt resistor (option) to the input terminals.
1
Shunt resistor (Option) and Measurement
current range
•
A shunt resistor converts the DC current input into
a DC voltage. The two types shown in the right
table are available.
•
The current measuring ranges are shown in the
right table, too.
2
Connection
Connect a shunt resister to each channel for the DC
current measurement.
Only one shunt resistor is to be connected to a
channel.
3
[Range/Printing range] and [Scale]
1) Range No.
The converted voltage with any shunt resistor is
±
5 V
DC and the range No. is “07”.
2) Printing range
Program the printing range with the value after being
converted into a voltage.
•
Minimum value:
Min. input current x shunt resistor value
•
Maximum value:
Max. input current x shunt resistor value
3) Scale
Program the scale with the physical quantity against
the input current.
•
Minimum value:
Physical quantity of the minimum input current
•
Maximum value:
Physical quantity of the maximum input current
