Measuring methods and measuring ranges of SM 431; AI 8 x 16 Bit
Measuring methods
You can set the measuring method at the input channels:
● Voltage measurement
● Current measurement
● Temperature measurement
You perform the setting with the "measuring method" parameter in STEP 7.
Unused channels
For unused channels, set the "measuring method" parameter to "deactivated". This reduces
the module's cycle time.
Measuring ranges
Set the measuring ranges by means of the "Measuring range" parameter in STEP 7.
