The module supports a wide range of inputs including voltage sensors, current sensors, thermoelectric couplings (thermocouples), and various resistance thermometers (RTDs).
Higher bit precision allows for finer resolution of the analog signal, meaning the controller can detect smaller changes in the measured value, which is critical for high-precision engineering machinery.
This specific module is designed for the S7-300 series. For S7-1200 or S7-1500 systems, specialized compatible analog modules from those respective series should be used.
Yes, it is engineered for industrial automation and supports thermoelectric couplings and resistance thermometers specifically for temperature monitoring in demanding conditions.
The standard configuration for this module includes 8 analog inputs, allowing you to monitor up to 8 different sensors simultaneously per module.
Depending on the sensor type and signal strength, it can often be connected directly; however, for very long cable runs, shielded cables are recommended to maintain the specified bit accuracy.
