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.

1. The analog input is received through a twisted pair shielded cable. This cable should be wired separately from power lines or any other lines which may induce electrical noise.

**Analog to Digital Conversion Speed Change**

192

193

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

194

195

However the following points should be noted: To maintain a high speed conversion rate, use the FROM/TO commands as seldom as possible.

**✎Note: **

* When a conversion speed change is made, BFM #1-#4 are set to their default values immediately after the change. This is regardless of the values they held originally. Bear this in mind if a speed change will be made as part of the normal program execution.

200

201

**Adjusting Gain and Offset values**

202

203

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

204

205

* 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.

206

* 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).

207

* 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.

212

213

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

214

* 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.

**Identification Code BFM #30**

231

232

The identification (or ID) code number for a Special Function Block is read using the FROM command.

233

234

This number for the LX3V-4AD unit is K2011 or K2010.

235

236

The user’s program in the PC can use this facility in the program to identify the special function block before commencing data transfer from and to the special function block.

**✎Note: **

* Values of BFM #0, #23 and #24 are copied to EEPROM memory of the LX3V-4AD. BFM #21 and BFM #22 are only copied when data is written to the gain/offset command buffer BFM #22. Also, BFM #20 causes writing to the EEPROM memory. The EEPROM has a life of about 10,000 cycles (changes), so do not use programs which frequently change these BFMs.

241

242

* Because of the time needed to write to the EEPROM memory, a delay of 300 ms is required between instructions that cause a write to the EEPROM. Therefore, a delay timer should be used before writing to the EEPROM a second time.

244

= **5 Defining gain and offset** =

245

246

Gain determines the angle or slope of the calibration line, identified at a digital value of 1000.

247

248

* (a) Small gain: Large steps in digital readings

249

* (b) Zero gain: Default is 5V or 20mA.

250

* (c) Large gain: Small steps in digital readings.

251

252

Offset is the “Position” of the calibrated line, identified at a digital value of 0.

253

254

* (d) Negative offset.

255

* (e) Zero offset: Default is 0V or 4mA.

260

261

Offset and gain can be set independently or together. Reasonable offset ranges are -5 to +5V or -20mA to 20mA, and gain values 1V to 15V or 4mA to 32mA. Gain and offset can be adjusted by software in the LX3V main unit (please refer to program example 2).

262

263

* Bit device’s b1, b2 of the gain/offset BFM #21 should be set to 0, 1 to allow adjustment.

264

* Once adjustment is complete these bit devices should be set to 1, 0 to prohibit any further changes.

265

* Channel initialization (BFM #0) should be set to the nearest range, i. e. voltage/current etc.

**✎Note: **

1. 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.

279

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

280

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

281

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.

282

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.

283

284

**Using gain and offset in a program**

285

286

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.

287

288

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.

289

290

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

291

292

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

319

1. Check that the LX3V system configuration rules have not been broken, i.e. the number of special function blocks does not exceed 8 and the total system I/O is equal or less than 256 I/O.

320

1. Ensure that the correct operating range has been selected for the application.

321

1. Check that there is no power overload on either the 5V or 24V power sources, remember the loading on a LX3V main unit or a powered extension unit varies according to the number of extension blocks or special function blocks connected.

1. Put the LX3V main unit into RUN.
