Bit are arranged
in groups of two. You must assign the same parameters to both channels in each
group, with the exception of alarm limits.
Table 2 shows which channels of the analog input module

8 Channel Hardware Filtering Mode

Module Cycle Description

When operating in the 8 Channel Hardware Filtering Mode the analog input module
SM331; AI 8
RTD
24 Bit switches between the two channels in each group.
Since the module contains four analog-to-digital converters (ADC), all four ADCs
convert simultaneously for channels 0, 2, 4 and 6. Upon completion of the even
numbered channels, all four ADCs convert simultaneously for channels 1, 3, 5 and
7 the odd numbered channels (see Figure 2).

Module Cycle Time

When operating in the 8 Channel Hardware Filtering Mode the analog input module
SM331; AI 8
RTD
24 Bit channel conversion time, including communication
overhead, is 85 ms. The module must then switch to the opposite channel in the
group using the opto-mos relays. The opto-mos relays require 12ms to switch and
settle fully. Each channel requires 97 ms of time making the module cycle time
equal to 194 ms.

When you operate in the 8 Channel Software Filtering Mode the analog input

24 Bit switches between the two channels in each
group. Since the module contains four analog-to-digital converters (ADC), all four

Module Cycle Time
When operating in the 8 Channel Software Filtering Mode the analog input module
SM331; AI 8
RTD
24 Bit, the channel conversion time is dependent of the
interference frequency selected. If you select an interference frequency of 50 Hz,
the channel conversion time, including communication overhead, is 30 ms. If you
select an interference frequency of 60 Hz, the channel conversion time is 25 ms. If
you select an interference frequency of 400 Hz, the channel conversion time
reduces to 8 ms. Similar to the 8 Channel Hardware Filtering Mode, the module
must then switch to the opposite channel in the group using the opto-mos relays
with a settling time of 12 ms. Table 3 shows the module cycle time for a specific
interference frequency .

Measuring Methods and Measuring Ranges of the Analog Input Module
SM 331; AI 8
RTD
24 Bit

Measuring Methods
You can set the following measuring methods on the analog input module
SM 331; AI 8
RTD
24 Bit:

RTD 4-wire measurement

RTD 3-wire measurement

Resistance 4-wire measurement

Resistance 3-wire measurement
Use the STEP 7 tool on the analog input module to make the necessary settings.
See Section 4.3.4 of the S7-300 Installation and Hardware Manual for more
information about these settings.

Measuring Ranges
Table 6 through table 12 lists the measuring ranges you can use with the analog
input module. Use STEP 7 to select the desired measuring ranges.

Common Mode Voltage

The analog input module SM 331; AI 8
RTD
24 Bit can make measurements in
the presence of AC or DC common mode voltage.
The AC and DC common mode voltage rejection is accomplished by the use of an
instrumentation amplifier for the input stage. The relative measurement performed
by the instrumentation amplifier rejects voltages < 120V RMS and < 120 VDC with
a rejection ratio of > 100dB.

Wire-Break Check
The wire-break check is a module software function that is provided for all module
modes. The process for detecting a wire-break is to reduce by half the excitation
current for the given sensor and to verify that the resulting value is within nominal
limits of the prior value measured. Since the wire-break value is not reported to the
CPU, the module cycle time is doubled for the 8 Channel hardware and software
filtering mode, regardless of the number of channels with wire-break enabled.
When operating in the 4 channel hardware filtering mode, the reduction in
excitation current is performed once every three seconds, or once every 30 input
channel scans. However, there is a break in the input data when performing
wire-break detection. Since the reduction in excitation current basically is a step
function to the module input, the ADCs digital filter requires 85ms to settle and
report valid data. With a return to full excitation current, the total break in the input
data is 170 ms.

Short to M or L
If you short an input channel to M or L, no damage will occur to the module.
The channel continues to report valid data and no diagnostics are reported.

Overflow, Underflow, and Process Interrupt Limits

Overflow and Underflow diagnostic thresholds for some of the measuring ranges
differ from those shown in Section 4.1.2, of the S7-300 Installation and Hardware
Manual. Numerical methods in the module software for evaluating the process
variables prevent values up to 32511 from being reported in some cases.
Process interrupt limits should not be set at values higher than the minimum
potential overflow or underflow threshold limits shown in Table 6 through Table 12.

End–of Cycle Interrupt
Enabling the end-of-cycle interrupt allows you to synchronize a process with the
module conversion cycle. The interrupt occurs when the conversion of all enabled
channels is complete.

Unused Input Channels

In order to reduce unnecessary wiring, use STEP 7 to deactivate unused channel
groups of the SM331; AI 8
RTD
24 Bit module (see Table 1).
You must terminate an unused channel within an activated group to eliminate
diagnostic errors for the unused input. Figure 5 shows how to attach a nominal
resistor for the selected input range to terminate the unused input.
When you operate in the 4 Channel Hardware Module Mode, no channel
termination is required if you deactivate the unused input channel groups.
Channels 1, 3, 5 and 7 are not monitored during this module mode of operation.

24 Bit

Parameter Assignment in the User Program

You have already set the parameters for the S7-300 module using STEP 7. You
can use an SFC in the user program to change the AI 8
RTD
24 bit module
dynamic parameters. You can also use an SFC in the user program to transfer the
parameters from the CPU to the addressed module.

Parameters Stored in Data Records

The parameters for the AI 8
RTD
24 bit module are stored in three data
records: records 0, 1 and 128.

Modifiable Parameters
You can change the parameters of record 1 and/or record 128 and pass them to
the AI 8
RTD
24 bit module using SFC 55. This does not change the
parameters set on the CPU. You cannot change the S7-300 parameters of record
0 in the user program.
The following section shows an overview of the parameters that are stored in
records 0, 1, and 128 for the AI 8
RTD
24 bit module.

SFCs for Parameter Assignment

The following SFCs are available for assigning the parameters for the
AI 8
RTD
24 bit module in the user program.

Table 13 SFCs for Assigning Module Parameters

SFC No. Identifier Application

Transfer modifiable parameters (record 1 and 128) to
55 WR_PARM
the addressed signal module.
Transfer parameters (records 0, 1 or 128) from the
56 WR_DPARM
CPU to the addressed signal module.
Transfer all parameters (records 0, 1, and 128) from
57 PARM_MOD
the CPU to the addressed signal module.

Description of the Parameters

The following section contains all the modifiable parameters for the
AI 8
RTD
24 bit module.
The parameters for the AI 8
RTD
24 bit module are described in this Product
Information document and in the online help of STEP 7.
