There are eight universal inputs/outputs (X1...X8) on module EM1.8U, which can be configured as:
Input/output type | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Input | BI | Digital input |
0/4...20 mA | Analog input, DC 0/4...20 mA, only configurable on ports X1...X8 | |
0...10 V | Analog input, DC 0...10 V | |
NI1000 PT1000 NTC10K | Analog input, temperature value in °C (the function of the R-T calculation of the three thermistor temperature sensors has been implemented internally in the controller firmware) | |
R1000 R10000 | Resistance measurement in Ω | |
Output | 0...10 V | Analog output, DC 0...10 V |
Configure universal I/Os
- On the Device Configurator page, right-click on a universal I/O terminal to be configured, for example, X1.
- Configure the following parameters according to the actual application in the pop-up window:
- Point Name: Enter an easily identifiable I/O name in the text box on the right. When completed, the corresponding terminal turns green.
- Description: Shortly describe the I/O in the text box on the right.
- Unit: Enter the measurement unit.
- SignalType (Required): Select a correct signal type in the drop-down menu on the right.
- If signal type In_0-10V, Out_0-10V, In_0-20mA or In_4-20mA is selected, the following options are displayed:
- SignalRangeMin: Enter the min. value of the signal range.
- SignalRangeMax: Enter the max. value of the signal range.
- MeasureRangeMin: Enter the min. value of the measurement range.
- MeasureRangeMax: Enter the max. value of the measurement range.
