Unused Channels

Unused channels can usually be left open. Put the measuring range modules in
position “B”. You can improve the noise immunity of the module in a measuring
environment with serious interference by connecting M– and chassis ground.

Disable the “Measuring Type” parameter for unused channels. In this way you
shorten the scan time of the module.

Measuring Ranges

You set the measuring ranges by means of the measuring range modules on the
module and the “Measuring Type” parameter in STEP 7.
