Analog Input Filter

General

The module is equipped with a parameterizable input filter.

Input Ramp Limit

An input ramp limit can only be set in connection with a filter. In this case, the input ramp limit is set before the filter.

The difference of the input value deviation is checked for exceeding the specified limit.

If so, the updated input value equals the old value ± the limit value.

The input ram limit serves to suppress disturbing pulses (spikes).

Possible limit values: see bits 4–6 in the following table.

Filter Stages

Depending on the filter stage, the input value is valuated more or less highly.

Formula for the evaluation of the input value: valuenew = valueold - (valueold/filter stage) + (input value/filter stage)

Possible filter stages: see bits 0–2 in the following table.
