Analog outputs

The REF541 and REF543 feeder terminals equipped with an RTD/analog module
have four general purpose 0...20 mA analog current outputs. All outputs are
galvanically isolated from the supply and enclosure of the feeder terminal and from
each other.
For technical data of the analog outputs, refer to Table 5.2.1-7 on page 90.

Analog outputs
The parameters and events for the analog outputs are included in the event and
parameter lists on the CD-ROM "Technical Descriptions of Functions" (refer to
Section "Related documents" on page 10).
Selection of analog output range
The outputs can be set to two different current ranges with the "Output range"
parameters in the menu Configuration/RTD1/Output #.
Parameter Values
Output range 0 = 0...20 mA
1 = 4...20 mA
Attributes of an analog output for feeder terminal configuration
The value and the validity of the output can be issued for each analog output by the
attributes AO# (REAL type) and AO#IV (BOOL type), where # denotes the number
of the output. These attributes are available in the feeder terminal configuration and
can be used for different purposes.
Value (AO#)
The value written to AO# is transferred to a current signal at the output. The output
response time is ≤85 ms, consisting of the software delay and the rise time of the
analog output, counted from the moment when the value attribute is updated in the
configuration program.
Invalidity (AO#IV)
The AO#IV attribute represents the invalidity status of the output. The attribute is
set to FALSE when the value (AO#) is valid, that is, an equal amount of current is
flowing through the output, and to TRUE when the value is invalid, that is, the
current at the output is different from the value of AO#. When the AO#IV attribute
is TRUE, this indicates one of two situations: either the current loop connected to
the output is broken or the value attribute is written with a value outside the range
defined by the "Output range" parameter. The transition of the AO#IV state may
also generate an event. Event generation is controlled by the "Event mask"
parameter found in the menu Configuration/RTD1.
