Overview of the built-in analog interface

General

At a Glance

The TSX 37-22 PLC’s have built-in as standard an analog interface which comprises

8 input channels and one output channel. This interface makes it possible to

respond to applications which require analog processing but where the performance

and the characteristics of an analog measurement system cannot be justified.

Functions

At a Glance

This interface which can be accessed via a Sub-D 15-pin connector, carries out the

following functions:

polling of input channels by static multiplexing and value aquisition,

analog/digital conversion of input measurements,

filtering of input measurements,

updating of digital output value by the processor,

digital/analog conversion of the output value,

processing of dialog errors with the processor and especially the fallback setting

of the output,

the provision of a reference voltage for the external sliders, or those contained in

the TSX ACZ 03 adjustment and adaptation module.

The TSX ACZ 03 module (See TSX ACZ 03 adjustment and adaptation module,

have 4 sliders which enable you to adjust the 4 constants in one application

ergonomically and flexibly,

transform, via built-in shunts (499 Ω), the 0-10V inputs into 0-20mA or 4-20mA

Using the TELEFAST pre-cabling system (ABE-7CPA01) (See Using the

TELEFAST pre-wiring system, p. 211), whether or not it is assigned to the TSX ACZ

03 module, makes input/output connection easier by providing screw terminal

blocks. It also makes connecting PLC discrete inputs/outputs easier if the analog

output is used to control a variable controller.

Using the TELEFAST pre-wiring system

General points

Using the TELEFAST pre-wiring system, with reference ABE-7CPA01, facilitates

the implementation of the built-in analog function. It provides access to all the inputs/

outputs required by the built-in analog function via screw terminals:

8 analog inputs,

1 analog output,

1 10 V reference output for the external sliders (4 max.).

The PLC is connected to the TELEFAST system via a 2.5m cable, with product

reference TSX CCP S15.

The TELEFAST system also offers a female 9-pin SUB-D connector which makes it

possible to directly control an ALTIVAR 16 variable speed controller (see

Connecting a variable speed controller, p. 215).

Having taken the impedance of the analog inputs into account, we recommend that

you use sliders with a value of 4.7 kΩ, which limits the number of sliders to 4

(maximum current from the reference output = 10 mA).

Connecting a variable speed controller

General

The TELEFAST ABE-7CPA01 cabling system makes it possible to use the inputs/

outputs from a discrete PLC module, in order to control an ALTIVAR 16 variable

speed controller:

2 discrete outputs, used as command inputs at the front and the back of the

controller (forward and reverse commands),

1 discrete input used to signal a fault in the controller to the PLC.

The variable speed controller can be connected directly via the female 9-pin Sub-D

controller from the TELEFAST system and the TSX CDP 611 cable.

Illustration

The following figure illustrates the example of a variable speed controller’s wiring,

controlled by a TSX DMZ 28DR module, situated in the first PLC slot. Outputs 1 and

2 of the discrete module give commands to the ALTIVAR and its 0 input serves as

Introduction

The TSX ACZ 03 module completes the functions offered by the analog inputs which

are built in to the TSX 37-22 PLC’s, by enabling:

manual adjustment of the application program values via internal (first 4 inputs)

or external sliders,

current conversion (0-20mA or 4-20mA) of signals 0-10V of each of the inputs,

adapting each analog input to a discrete 24V input.

500Hz counts on the discrete inputs of TSX 37 bases

General points

On TSX 37 05/08 PLCs and TSX 37 10 or TSX 37 21/22 PLC bases, the first four

inputs of a discrete input/output module located in position 1 (%I1.0 to %I1.3) can

be used for counting up to a maximum frequency of 500Hz.

These four inputs allow a maximum of two independent counting channels, the

function settings (counting down, counting up, or counting up/down) are specified in

the software configuration.

There may be different kinds of sensor which generate the counting pulses (static

output or dry contact sensors) insofar as their outputs are compatible with the inputs

of the module.

Overview of built-in counting function

Built in 10 KHZ counting function on TSX 37 22 bases

General

The TSX 37 22 PLC bases incorporate counting interfaces which enable them to

carry out counting up, counting down or up/down counting functions at a maximum

frequency of 10KHz. These counting interfaces, which can be accessed via two

standard 15-pin SUB-D connectors, comprise two independent counting channels

(channel 11 and channel 12); the function settings (up counting, down counting or

up/down counting) are specified by software configuration.

The sensors which generate the counting pulses may be:

either with static outputs, in which case the maximum counting frequency can

reach 10 KHz,

or with dry contact outputs, in which case the immunity of the input receiving the

counting pulses is fixed at 4ms and the counting frequency is limited to 100Hz.

The sensor type is chosen when the counting channel is configured by the software.

General points

(threshold 0 and threshold 1).

Introduction

General

The four discrete inputs (%I1.0 to %I1.3) of the module located in position 1 allow 2

independent up counting, down counting or up/down counting (channel 0 and

channel 1) channels to be made with a maximum frequency of 500Hz.

240

TSX DM 37 xxE

Counting functions on (500Hz) discrete inputs

Up counting or down counting

General points

The up or down counting pulses are received on the inputIA (%I1.0 for channel 0

and %I1.2 for channel 1).

The inputIPres (%I1.1 for channel 0 and %I1.3 for channel 1) can be used:

either for setting the preset value of the current value for a down counting

function,

or for setting the current value to 0 for an up counting function.

Note:

symbol used in PL7-Micro screens for IPres input:

IPres if it is a down counting function,

IReset if it is an up counting function.

Setting to 0 (up counting) or setting the preset value (down counting) can be carried

out according to one of the methods described below:

when the status of the IPres input is changed (rising or falling edge, choice made

in configuration) and when this is validated in the software,

automatically as soon as:

the setpoint value has been reached in up counting,

the value 0 has been reached in down counting.

(choice made during configuration)

via software.

preset channel 0

Channel 1 pulse input

Reset input to 1 or

preset channel 0

These functions can be used equally on the modules:

with a screw or HE10 connector terminal block,

with direct current inputs,

with alternating current inputs, in this case the up counting frequency is limited,

given the response time of this type of input.

If channel 1 is not used, the corresponding inputs can be configured into event, latch

state or normal discrete inputs. In this case, and if the inputs being used are supplied

by direct current, the immunity of these inputs will be defined for the inputs assigned

to up or down counting.

Channels 0 and 1 can be configured independently of one another, for example, with

one channel in up counting and the other in down counting or in up/down counting.
