Note that the input value range of the module from 0 V up to
reaching the upper limit value is specified at 108% of the end
value of the measured range (MBE). Normally, higher values
are read in and transmitted, but the upper limit of the techni-
cally reachable value range depends on the tolerances and can
change in future hardware releases.
Values smaller than 0 V are not transmitted.
A bit at the ADC corresponds to the value 0.335 mV.
5.3 Synchronizing the application
The application is synchronized in the "SM synchronous"
mode.
5.4 "Filter" and "Oversampling"
A first order low-pass filter in the hardware limits the fre-
quency range at the input of the analog digital converter
(ADC). The filtered signal is present at the analog digital con-
verter.
Depending on the setting of the value "Oversampling factor"
in the object "Device settings" (F800:01), the Oversampling
of the ADC can be set. If Oversampling is switched on, the
ADC samples multiple values and transmits the average of
the measured values. A ratio of 0 disables the Oversampling.
2 means for example that two Samples can be read in per
transferred process date. Thus, the effective useful signal fre-
quency can be restricted.
5.5 Limit value check of the upper and lower
range limit
The ADC input data is used to check whether the values are
above or below the valid range. The status bits "Overrange"
and "Underrange" or "Wire break" are set accordingly in the
process data. There are different values at which the diagnos-
tics is set and reset.
For the limits, go to the chapter "Distinctive values and data
formats".
5.6 User Scale: Gains and offset adjustment
The "User Scale" functionality allows an individual correction
of the gain (User Gain) and the offset (User Offset) for each
channel.

Enable the functionality "User Scale" to apply the correction.
Therefore, set the parameter "80x0:05 User scale enable" to 1.

Enter the value "User_offset" into the parameter "80x0:02 User

Note that possible limitations of the value range also remain
after the "User scale" limitation. For more detailed informa-
tion, refer to .
The settings can only be made in the "Pre-Op" state and
should be written upon each start of the EtherCAT bus via the
start parameter.
Example 1:
Module is XI422204, analog output with ±10 V.
The target is to reduce the value range to values between
-3V and +8V. The values of the application still uses the
value range from −10 V to +10 V.

Example 2
Module is XI342204, analog input from 4 to 20 mA.
The connected system specified 4.5 mA as minimum value
and 18.5 mA as maximum value. The values should be
mapped to a value range from 4 to 20 mA.
