Out Analog urrent ombination Module Specifications The F-AA- Analog urrent Input/Output module provides several hardware features: Analog inputs and outputs are optically isolated from the PL logic. The module has a removable terminal block so the module can be easily removed or changed without disconnecting the wiring. All input and output channels are updated in one scan. On-board active analog filtering, two IS microcontrollers and PL provide digital signal processing to maintain precision analog measurements in noisy environments. Low-power MOS design requires only ma from an external. V power supply. Input resolution is independently adjustable for each channel. Users may select bit, bit or bit. Output resolution is bit. roken transmitter detection bit (input < ma) for use with ma input device. Each input can be independently configured to return the present value, or to track and hold the maximum or minimum value. No jumper settings.

6 hapter : F-AA-, -h. In / -h. Out Analog urrent ombination onnecting the Field Wiring Wiring Guidelines our company may have guidelines for wiring and cable installation. If so, check the guidelines before beginning the installation. Here are some general things to consider: Use the shortest wiring route whenever possible. Use shielded wiring and ground the shield at the transmitter source. o not ground the shield at both the module and the load or source. o not run the signal wiring next to large motors, high current switches, or transformers. This may cause noise problems. Route the wiring through an approved cable housing to minimize the risk of accidental damage. heck local and national codes to choose the correct method for your application. User Power Supply Requirements The F-AA- requires at least one external power supply for the field devices. The same or separate power sources can be used for the module supply and loop supply. The module requires ma at. V. In addition, each current loop requires ma (a total of ma for twelve current loops). If a separate power supply is used, be sure that it meets these requirements. The L bases have built-in V power supplies that provide up to ma of current. This may be used instead of a separate supply if only one combination module is used with less than ten current loops. In some applications, it is desirable to power the loops separately in a location remote from the PL. This will work as long as the loop s power supply meets the voltage and current requirements, and its minus (-) side and the module supply s minus (-) side are connected together. WARNING: If the internal V base power is used, be sure to calculate the power budget. Exceeding the power budget can cause unpredictable system operation that can lead to a risk of personal injury or equipment damage. The L base has a switching type power supply. As a result of switching noise, ± counts of instability may be noticed in the analog input data if the base power supply is used. If this is unacceptable, try one of the following:. Use a separate linear power supply.. onnect the V common to the frame ground, which is the screw terminal marked G on the base. When using these methods, the input stability is rated at ±.% of range. - L Analog Manual, th Edition Rev.

7 hapter : F-AA- -h. In / -h. Out Analog urrent ombination urrent Loop Transmitter Impedance Standard ma and ma transmitters and transducers can operate from a wide variety of power supplies. Not all transmitters are alike and the manufacturers often specify a minimum loop or load resistance that must be used with the transmitter. The F-AA- provides ohms resistance for each input channel. If the transmitter being used requires a load resistance below ohms, adjustments do not have to be made. However, if the transmitter requires a load resistance higher than ohms, add a resistor in series with the module. onsider the following example for a transmitter being operated from a V supply with a recommended load resistance of ohms. Since the module has a ohms resistance, add an additional resistor. Example: Supply R = Tr Mr R = R +V V Rresistor toadd Tr Transmitter total resistance requirement Mr Module resistance (internal Ohms) Two-wire Transmitter + In the example, add a ohm resistor (R) in series with the module.

These points provide the data value, channel identification and settings for resolution, range, and track and hold feature. These bits may never have to be used, but it may be an aid to help understand the data format.

Out Analog urrent ombination Writing the ontrol Program onfiguring the Module to Read/Write I/O (Pointer Method, L- and L only) The example programs starting on the facing page show how to configure the special V-memory locations to read/write data from/to the I/O module. The module configuration rung needs to be read by the PU only after a mode transition, and does not need to be read every scan. Place the configuration rung anywhere in the ladder program, or in the initial stage if stage programming instructions is being used. This is all that is required to read the input data and write the output data to/from the V-memory locations. Once the input data is in V-memory, math can be used for data calculations, compare the data against preset values, and so forth. V and V are used as the beginning of the data areas in the example, but any user V-memory locations can be used. Also, these examples assume that the module is installed in slot of the PU base. The pointer V-memory locations determined by the layout of the application should be used. - L Analog Manual, th Edition Rev.

This can be accomplished by using the conversion formulas shown below. EU = (A - A offset )(EU H - EU L ) / (A max - A offset ) EU = ( - offset )(EU H - EU L ) / ( max - offset ) A = analog value from current transmitter A offset = ma offset when using - ma current transmitter = digital value of input provided to PL PU offset = digital value of ma offset with - ma current transmitter EU = engineering units EU H = engineering units high value EU L = engineering units low value The following examples show a bit measurement of pressure (PSI) from... The the analog value needs to be multiplied by in order to imply a decimal place when the value is viewed with the programming software. Notice how the calculations differ when the multiplier is used. Scaling Example Analog Value =. ma; Transmitter = ma; Resolution = bit Result should yield.

Using the Input Track and Hold Feature The input Track and Hold feature allows the individual inputs to be separately configured to maintain their maximum or minimum data values. If No Track and Hold is selected, the present real time value of the input will be stored in the input data V-memory location. If Track and Hold minimum value is selected, the first input value less than or equal to full scale will be read and maintained until a lower value is measured, or until Track and Hold is reset. If maximum value is selected, the first input value greater than or equal to zero will be read and maintained until a higher value is measured, or until Track and Hold is reset. To reset Track and Hold, write a value of one to the Track and Hold selection high and low bits. When Track and Hold is reset, the module will display the real-time input value. When the selection is changed from reset to minimum value or maximum value, the input will start over as described previously. L Analog Manual, th Edition Rev. -
