LX3V-4AD - Wecon

= **1 Introduction** =

* The LX3V-4AD special module has four input channels. The input channels receive analog signals and convert them into a digital value. This is called an A/D conversion; the maximum resolution is 16 bits.

4

* The selection of voltage or current based input/output is by user wiring. Analog ranges of -10 to 10V DC (resolution: 5mV), and/or 4 to 20mA, -20 to 20mA (resolution: 20µA) may be selected.

5

* Data transfer between the LX3V-4AD and the LX3V main unit is by buffer memory exchange. There are 32 buffer memories (each of 16 bits) in the LX3V-4AD.

6

* LX3V-4AD consumes 5V voltage from LX3V main unit or active extension unit, 90mA current of power supply.

**Analog to Digital Conversion Speed Change**

282

283

By writing 0, 1 or decimal numbers between 10-16 into BFM#15 of the LX3V-4AD, the time at which A/D conversion is performed can be changed.

284

285

However, the following points should be noted:

286

287

1. To maintain a high-speed conversion, please use the FROM/TO commands as seldom as possible.

288

1. When a conversion speed change occurs, BFM #1-#4 are set to their default values immediately after the change. Please be careful if an A/D time conversion will be part of the normal program execution.

289

1. High-speed time conversion is usually used with BFM#1-#4.

290

1. BFM#15 is configurated with the corresponding conversion time of 10-16, only supported by software version 20000 or above.

291

292

**Adjusting Gain and Offset values**

293

294

**Formula for Gain/Offset: Digital output= (Analog input-Offset)*Constant/ (Gain-Offset)**

295

296

* When buffer memory BFM #20 is activated by setting it to K1, all settings within the analog special function block are reset to their default settings. This is a very quick method to erase any undesired gain and offset adjustments.

297

* If (b1, b0) of BFM #21 is set to (1, 0), gain and offset adjustments are prohibited to prevent inadvertent changes by the operator. In order to adjust the gain and offset values, bits (b1, b0) must be set to (0, 1). The default is (0, 1).

298

* Gain and offset values of BFM #23 and #24 are sent to non-volatile memory gain and offset registers of the specified input channels. Input channels to be adjusted are specified by the appropriate G-O (gain-offset) bits of BFM #22.

* (((

Example:

If bits G1 and O1 are set to 1, input channel 1 will be adjusted when BFM #22 is written to by a TO instruction.

303

)))

304

* Channels can be adjusted individually or together with the same gain and offset values.

305

* Gain and offset values in BFM #23 #24 are in units of mV or µA. Due to the resolution of the unit the actual response will be in steps of 5mV or 20µA.

306

* When gain is less than or equal to offset, error will be adjusted. Gain and offset will not change. Error status will be given at BFM#29 b1. B4-b7 will give a specific channel offset/gain error.

Example:

If bits G1 and O1 are set to 1, input channel 1 will be adjusted when BFM #22 is written to by a TO instruction.

**Basic program**

In the following example channels CH1 and CH2 are used as voltage inputs. The LX3V-4AD block is connected at the position of special function block No.0. Averaging is set at 4 and data registers D0 and D1 of the PC receive the averaged digital data. The FROM code for the special function block at position “0" is read from BFM #30 of that block and stored at D4 in the main unit. CMP is compared to check the block is a LX3V-4AD, if OK M1 is turned ON.

1. TO code: The analog input channels (CH1, CH2) are setup by writing H3300 to BFM #0 of the LX3V-4AD

387

1. The number of averaged samples for CH1 and CH2 is set to 4 by writing 4 to BFM #1 and #2 respectively.

388

1. The operational status of the LX3V-4AD is read from BFM #29 and output as bit devices at the LX3V main unit. If there are no errors in the operation of the LX3V-4AD, then the averaged data BFM’s are read.

389

1. In the case of this example BFM #5 and #6 are read into the LX3V main unit and stored at D0 and D1. These devices contain the averaged data for CH1 and CH2 respectively.

390

391

**Using gain and offset in a program**

392

393

The gain and offset of the LX3V-4AD can be adjusted using push-button switches on the input terminal of the PC. It can also be adjusted using software settings sent from the PC.

394

395

Only the gain and offset values in the memory of the LX3V-4AD need be adjusted. A voltmeter or an ammeter for the analog input is not needed. A program for the PC will be needed however.

396

397

The following is an example of changing the offset value on input channel CH1 to 0V and the gain value to 2.5V.

398

399

The LX3V-4AD block is in the position of block No.0 (i.e. closest to the LX3V main unit).
