Functions
2.2.1
Measuring range adjustment
Introduction
The measuring range adjustment is available for current and voltage measuring ranges. Live
zero measuring ranges are not supported.
Function
The measuring range adjustment is an adjustment of the measuring range at the sensor.
It allows you to increase the resolution for a configurable part of the measuring range in S7
format.
●You activate the function in STEP 7 (TIA Portal) via the "Measuring range adjustment"
parameter.
●The "Measuring range adjustment high limit" parameter sets the high limit of the
measuring range in mV or μA.
●The "Measuring range adjustment low limit" parameter sets the low limit of the measuring
range in mV or μA.
Note
•
The "Measuring range adjustment" function can be used in combination with the
"Measured value scaling" function, see also Scaling of measured values (Page 17).
•
When the "Measuring range adjustment high limit" and "Measuring range adjustment low
limit" parameters are too close together, resolution may be lost, which means it may no
longer be possible to show every value.
Rules
●The limits of the measuring range adjustment must be selected within the nominal range
of the base measuring range. They are specified in integers.
●The measuring range adjustment is resolved depending on the base measuring range
from 0Hto 6C00Hor 9400Hto 6C00H.
●Underranges/overranges apply in accordance with the S7 format and the base measuring
range.

2.2.2
Scaling of measured values
Introduction
The measured value scaling can be combined with the measuring range adjustment. In this
case, the measuring range is adjusted first and then the representation of the measuring
range is scaled.
Function
With measured value scaling, the user data of the module is displayed in REAL format (32-
bit floating point) instead of S7 format.
The representation of the measuring range is defined by the following parameters:
●The "Scaled high nominal range limit" parameter sets the desired display value (in REAL
format) for the high nominal range limit of the measuring range.
●The "Scaled low nominal range limit" parameter sets the desired display value (in REAL
format) for the low nominal range limit of the measuring range.
Note
Effects of inversion
•
It is possible to set the "Scaled high nominal range limit" parameter lower than the
"Scaled low nominal range limit" parameter, whereby the representation of the measuring
range will be inverted compared to the terminal value (V, mA).
•
Overflow/underflow and hardware interrupts are always based on representation in
REAL format. A terminal value of > 11.76 V triggered an underflow for an inverted
measured value scaling. Hardware interrupts react similarly.
Substitute value for underflow/overflow
With measured value scaling, the substitute value is minus infinity for underflow (FF80
0000H) and plus infinity for overflow (7F80 0000H).
Resolution at the parameter "Scaled high/low nominal range limit"
Wh
en the Parameter "Scaled high nominal range limit" and "Scaled low nominal range limit"
parameters are too close together, resolution may be lost, which means it may no longer be
possible to show every value.

measuring range is adjusted and then the representation of the measuring range scaled. The

range adjustment.
