Connection of Passive-type Analog Sensors (Current) to the Analog Inputs

The following figure shows the connection of passive-type analog sensors (current) to the analog input AI0. Proceed with the analog inputs AI1 to AI3 in the same way.

Connection of passive-type analog sensors (current) to the analog inputs

Current

4…20 mA

1 channel used

The measuring ranges are described in the section Measuring Ranges CI592-CS31 - Digital and Analog Inputs and Outputs CI592-CS31 - Digital and Analog Inputs and Outputs:

Caution

:strong:Risk of overloading the analog input!

If an analog current sensor supplies more than 25 mA for more than 1 second during initialization, this input is switched off by the module (input protection).

Use only sensors with fast initialization or without current peaks higher than 25 mA. If not possible, connect a 10-volt zener diode in parallel to I+ and I-.

Unused input channels can be left open-circuited, because they are of low resistance.
