TM5SAI2H and TM5SAI4H

Introduction

The TM5SAI2H and TM5SAI4H expansion electronic modules are 10 Vdc Analog Input electronic modules with 2 and 4 inputs respectively.

If you have wired your input for a voltage measurement and you configure EcoStruxure Machine Expert for a current type of configuration, you may permanently damage the electronic module.

NOTICE

INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT

Verify that the physical wiring of the analog circuit is compatible with the software configuration for the analog channel.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

For further information, refer to the Hardware Guide:

Limit Values

The user can specify an upper and lower limit value for each individual channel.

When activated, the input signals are monitored to see if the limit values are exceeded. The defined limit values are used for this. If the analog value goes beyond the defined range, then it is limited to the upper or lower limit value.

The result of the signal check is displayed in a corresponding status bit. If necessary, the counters are incremented by one if the value falls outside the range.

Scaling

The raw A/D converter data and the filtered A/D converter data are compared. The system measure and the user measure are grouped internally as a k/d pair to optimize the execution time. Gain and offset can be specified for each individual channel.

Minimum and Maximum Input Values

The system stores the minimum and maximum values between two trigger events. The function is started by the corresponding trigger edge. The following edges are evaluated depending on the configuration:

oPositive edge

oNegative edge

oPositive and negative edge

The trigger counter counts valid trigger events. In the event that trigger events occur faster than the sampling cycle, the triggering becomes invalid (trigger detected error counter is incremented).

The following example shows how the minimum and maximum input values are recorded:

Trigger Event	Description
Trigger a	The function is started. The system notes the minimum and maximum values of the input signal. Ignore the Min./Max values registered by the status bit after the initial start.
Trigger b	The minimum value (Min1) and the maximum value (Max1) between Trigger a and Trigger b are given to the register and the new cycle is started. A status bit informs the user as soon as the values are valid.
Trigger c	The minimum value (Min2) and the maximum value (Max2) between Trigger b and Trigger c are given to the register and the new cycle is started. A status bit informs the user as soon as the values are valid.
Trigger d	The minimum value (Min3) and the maximum value (Max3) between Trigger c and Trigger d are given to the register and the new cycle is started. A status bit informs the user as soon as the values are valid.

Input Cycle

The electronic module has an Input cycle that can be configured separately for each individual channel. The order and cut-off frequency can be specified for each individual channel:

oFilter Order: 1...4 (default: 1)

oFilter Cut-off frequency: 1...65535 Hz (default: 500 Hz)
