Measuring Methods

You can set the following measuring methods for the input channels:

Voltage measurement

Current measurement

Resistance test

You perform the setting with the “Measuring Type” parameter in STEP 7.

Wiring for Resistance Measurement

The following conditions apply when measuring the resistance with the SM 431;
AI 8 x 13 Bit:

0, 2, 4 or 6

You must disable the

(

“Measuring Type” parameter for

channels n+1 (1, 3, 5, 7).

The reason: The connections of channel n+1 are used to
supply the resistance that is connected to channel n.

Unused Channels

Unused channels can usually be left open. You can improve the noise immunity of
the module in a measuring environment with serious interference by short-circuiting
the channels and connecting to M

ANA

. Disable the “Measuring Type” parameter for

unused channels. In this way you shorten the scan time of the module.
