Parameter configuration interface
4AD module configuration

① Enable channels: It can be set whether to enable the current expansion module channel;
② Conversion mode: The default setting is ADV conversion mode, the measurement range is-10V-10V (-10000-10000);
Supported conversion modes:
-10V-10V (-10000-10000);
4mA-20mA (0-20000);
-20mA-20mA (-20000-20000).
③Filtering time: Support 1-255ms, used to reduce the fluctuation of channel output data, the default filtering time is 4ms. Please adjust the channel output data according to the requirements of the actual application scenario
to select the appropriate filtering time;
④ Enable calibration: When the actual analog input of the module channel deviates greatly from the measured channel value of the module, it can be used to improve the measurement precision and accuracy.
For modules with calibration enabled, the channel value is calculated as follows: Actual channel value = digital*gain+offset, e.g.:
When the channel input analog is 10000mV, the measured digital is 9950, and the actual channel value should be 10000;
When the channel input analog is -10000mV, the measured digital is-9950, and the actual channel value should be -10000;
Assume gain as a and offset as b
; the result is
.
The derivation formula is as follows:
Gain = (Actual input analog 1-actual input analog 2)/ (Expansion module measured digital 1-Expansion module measured digital 2)
Offset = actual channel value-digital*gain
With the above formula, the gain and offset values can be derived to calibrate the module to improve the accuracy and stability of the measurement. When performing calibration, it is necessary to select the appropriate
parameters and methods, ensuring accurate and reliable measurement results.
I/O mapping

By default, channels are mapped to R device according to the current number of module channels. The figure below shows modules CH1-CH4 mapped to R0-R3 device.
4DA module configuration

① Enable channels: It can be set whether to enable the current expansion module channel;
② Conversion mode: The default setting is DAV conversion mode, and the output range is-10V-10V (-10000-10000);
Supported conversion modes: -10V-10V (-10000-10000), 4mA-20mA (0-20000), -20mA-20mA (-20000-20000)
③ Output status after stopping: When the PLC is in the stop status, the output status of the module channel mainly includes the following three types:
Output cleared: When PLC STOP, the output voltage/current of the module channel is 0V/0uA;
The output holds: When PLC STOP, the module channel output holds the digital output value set by the corresponding channel in the current I/O mapping device;
Output presets: When PLC STOP, the module channel outputs the voltage/current value corresponding to the preset digital or the preset analog.
④ Enable calibration: When the actual output analog of the module channel deviates greatly from the analog measured by the high-precision multimeter, it can be used to improve the output precision and accuracy.
For modules with calibration enabled, the channel value is calculated as follows: Channel input digital=actual voltage output corresponding digital*gain+offset
For example:
When the input digital of the channel is 10000, the measured output voltage of the channel by the high-precision multimeter is 9950mV (the corresponding digital is 9950);
When the channel input digital is -10000, the measured output voltage of the channel by the high-precision multimeter is -9950mV (the corresponding digital is-9950);
Assume gain as a and offset as b
the result is
The derivation formula is as follows:
Gain = (channel input digital quantity 1-channel input digital quantity 2)/ (multimeter measured digital 1-multimeter measured digital 2)
Offset=channel input digital-actual voltage output corresponding digital *gain
