Abbreviations and Mnemonics Used in the Figures Below

The abbreviations and mnemonics used in the figures below have the following
meanings:

M +:

Measuring line (positive)

M –:

Measuring line (negative)

M

ANA

:

Reference potential of the analog measuring circuit

U

CM

:

Potential difference between inputs and reference potential of
the M

ANA

measuring circuit

U

ISO

:

Potential difference between M

ANA

and chassis ground

Connection of Isolated Measuring Sensors

The isolated sensors are not connected with the local ground potential (local
ground). They can be operated free of potential.

With isolated sensors, potential differences might arise between the different
sensors. These potential differences can arise as a result of interference or the
local distribution of the sensors.

To ensure that the permissible value for U

CM

is not exceeded during use in heavily

EMC-affected environments, connect M– to M

ANA

in modules with an M

connection.

Note

Do not connect M– to M

when connecting two-wire transmitters for current

measurement and when connecting resistance-type sensors. This also applies to
inputs which are not used.
