3.1.2 Analog Representation for Measuring Ranges of Analog Inputs<br />

Introduction<br />

How to read the<br />

measured value<br />

tables<br />

I/O Modules with Intrinsically-Safe Signals<br />

C79000-G7076-C152-04<br />

The tables in this section indicate the digitized analog values for the effective<br />

measuring ranges of analog modules.<br />

Tables 3-3 to 3-19 list the digitized analog values for different effective<br />

measuring ranges.<br />

Since the binary representation of analog values is always the same, these<br />

tables contain only a comparison of the measuring ranges with respect to the<br />

relevant units.<br />

Deviating from this, a Sigma-Delta AD-converter is used with the analog<br />

input modules described in the manual. Irrespective of the configurable<br />

integration time, this converter always makes available the maximum<br />

representable 15 Bit +sign. Lower resolution ratings than indicated in the<br />

specifica- tions are due to conversion noise based on the shorter integration<br />

times (2.5, 162 /3, 20 ms). The different integration times change nothing with<br />

regard to numerical representation of the measured values. The number of<br />

stable bits is specified in the technical specifications.<br />

The number of stable bits is the resolution, at which, despite noise, the<br />

”no missing code”-characteristics of the AD-converter are guaranteed.<br />

The bits which are no longer stable at shorter integration times are marked<br />

with ”x” in the following tables.<br />

What can you do<br />

with the<br />

noise-prone bits<br />

SIMATIC S7 Ex Analog Modules<br />

At a constant input voltage, noise causes distribution of the supplied value by<br />

more than 1 digit. In the majority of cases, these ”unsteady” values can be<br />

used as they are. In any case, this is the most effective option when<br />

subsequent processing has integral action characteristics (integrator,<br />

controller, etc.) in any form whatsoever. If this unsteady state is undesirable<br />

(e.g. for display/indication), you can<br />

mask out the ”x” bits<br />

round up to ”stable” bits<br />

filter the successive values<br />
