You can refer to the following system manual on page 297. S7-1200 Programmable controller System Manual, 11/2009, A5E02486680-02 Warm regards. Tomy.

Each sensor should send 2 wires to the CPU (signal + and signal -). The Signal - of the modules should be interconnected to the M of the CPU. Where this jumps will be done (near the device, near de CPU or directly in the CPU connectors) is irrelevant for this distances. The sensor supplyes should be given separatly, (but M's should be always interconected). Three or four wire signals (to conpensate the loss of voltage along the wires) is unnecessary with this distances.

carson218 Posts: 7 Rating: (0)	Hi, Try this link below for wiring configurations - i'm trying to interface 2 off 4-20mA loop powered TT's, not the easiest! Why are the inputs not configurable to 4-20 direct rather than 0-20??? I am from a Pharma back ground and all our Tx's are typically 4 - 20mA. Out of interest where is the best place to buy 0-10v Temperature and pH sensors? http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/40913432 http://www.automation.siemens.com/WW/forum/guests/Conference.aspx?SortField=LastPostDate&SortOrder=Descending&ForumID=258&Language=en
