Dear Expert: sir i want to useanaloguemodule but i have no idea please help me. Actually i want to on/off a digital bit(for e.g Q4.0) whenever there is some current at PLC analogue module. i have made a program(attached in this thread) in which i use a comparator and ifanalogueinput increase from 4 milli amp o/p coil activate but i have no idea from which value ishouldcompare my analogue i/p current.. Thanks Best Regards SQ

Hello sumair; Have a look at the following attachment, extracted from the following manual: http://support.automation.siemsn.com/WW/view/en/8859629S7-300 Module Data manualChapter 5: Analog value representation Table 5.9: 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA analog values. |

Hello sumair, As dchartier told you, that 4-20 mA in electric values will be represented as 0 - 27648 of count values. And he is right if you put 1 in the comapatator it then if any more current than 4 mA have been detected by the AI channel, the output will be enegized "depends on the resolution of the AI module". But I do recommend to use phisical value in comparator and not count values. To use phisical values, you have to scale the AI using FC105 and then compare the output of the AI scaled value with the threasholed value you want to energize the digital output. Attached a picture will show you how could you use FC105 to scale the AI value between 0 & 100 % Here's a useful link I hope it will help you. /tf/WW/en/Posts/26057 Regards. |
