Foreword
Notes · The elements mentioned above result in the technical designation. EL3314-0000-0016 is used in the example below. · EL3314-0000 is the order identifier, in the case of "-0000" usually abbreviated to EL3314. "-0016" is the EtherCAT revision. · The order identifier is made up of - family key (EL, EP, CU, ES, KL, CX, etc.) - type (3314) - version (-0000) · The revision -0016 shows the technical progress, such as the extension of features with regard to the EtherCAT communication, and is managed by Beckhoff. In principle, a device with a higher revision can replace a device with a lower revision, unless specified otherwise, e.g. in the documentation. Associated and synonymous with each revision there is usually a description (ESI, EtherCAT Slave Information) in the form of an XML file, which is available for download from the Beckhoff web site. From 2014/01 the revision is shown on the outside of the IP20 terminals, see Fig. "EL5021 EL terminal, standard IP20 IO device with batch number and revision ID (since 2014/01)". · The type, version and revision are read as decimal numbers, even if they are technically saved in hexadecimal.
2.4.2 Version identification of ELM terminals
The serial number/ data code for Beckhoff IO devices is usually the 8-digit number printed on the device or on a sticker. The serial number indicates the configuration in delivery state and therefore refers to a whole production batch, without distinguishing the individual modules of a batch.
Structure of the serial number: KK YY FF HH
KK - week of production (CW, calendar week) YY - year of production FF - firmware version HH - hardware version
Example with Ser. no.: 12063A02: 12 - production week 12 06 - production year 2006 3A - firmware version 3A 02 hardware version 02

Foreword
2.4.3 Beckhoff Identification Code (BIC)
The Beckhoff Identification Code (BIC) is increasingly being applied to Beckhoff products to uniquely identify the product. The BIC is represented as a Data Matrix Code (DMC, code scheme ECC200), the content is based on the ANSI standard MH10.8.2-2016.

Fig. 2: BIC as data matrix code (DMC, code scheme ECC200)

The BIC will be introduced step by step across all product groups.

Depending on the product, it can be found in the following places: · on the packaging unit · directly on the product (if space suffices) · on the packaging unit and the product

The BIC is machine-readable and contains information that can also be used by the customer for handling and product management.

Each piece of information can be uniquely identified using the so-called data identifier (ANSI MH10.8.2-2016). The data identifier is followed by a character string. Both together have a maximum length according to the table below. If the information is shorter, spaces are added to it. The data under positions 1 to 4 are always available.

The following information is contained:

Further types of information and data identifiers are used by Beckhoff and serve internal processes.

Structure of the BIC
Example of composite information from item 1 to 4 and 6. The data identifiers are marked in red for better display:

BTN
An important component of the BIC is the Beckhoff Traceability Number (BTN, item no. 2). The BTN is a unique serial number consisting of eight characters that will replace all other serial number systems at Beckhoff in the long term (e.g. batch designations on IO components, previous serial number range for safety products, etc.). The BTN will also be introduced step by step, so it may happen that the BTN is not yet coded in the BIC.
NOTE
This information has been carefully prepared. However, the procedure described is constantly being further developed. We reserve the right to revise and change procedures and documentation at any time and without prior notice. No claims for changes can be made from the information, illustrations and descriptions in this information.

2.4.4 Electronic access to the BIC (eBIC)
Electronic BIC (eBIC) The Beckhoff Identification Code (BIC) is applied to the outside of Beckhoff products in a visible place. If possible, it should also be electronically readable. Decisive for the electronic readout is the interface via which the product can be electronically addressed.
K-bus devices (IP20, IP67) Currently, no electronic storage and readout is planned for these devices.
EtherCAT devices (IP20, IP67) All Beckhoff EtherCAT devices have a so-called ESI-EEPROM, which contains the EtherCAT identity with the revision number. Stored in it is the EtherCAT slave information, also colloquially known as ESI/XML configuration file for the EtherCAT master. See the corresponding chapter in the EtherCAT system manual (chapter 3) for the relationships. The eBIC is also stored in the ESIEEPROM. The eBIC was introduced into the Beckhoff I/O production (terminals, boxes) from 2020; widespread implementation is expected in 2021. The user can electronically access the eBIC (if existent) as follows:
· With all EtherCAT devices, the EtherCAT master (TwinCAT) can read the eBIC from the ESIEEPROM  From TwinCAT 4024.11, the eBIC can be displayed in the online view.

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

 To do this, check the checkbox "Show Beckhoff Identification Code (BIC)" under EtherCAT  Advanced Settings  Diagnostics:

Foreword

 The BTN and its contents are then displayed:
 Note: as can be seen in the illustration, the production data HW version, FW version and production date, which have been programmed since 2012, can also be displayed with "Show Production Info".
· In the case of EtherCAT devices with CoE directory, the object 0x10E2:01 can additionally by used to display the device's own eBIC; the PLC can also simply access the information here:  The device must be in SAFEOP/OP for access:

 the object 0x10E2 will be introduced into stock products in the course of a necessary firmware revision.
· Note: in the case of electronic further processing, the BTN is to be handled as a string(8); the identifier "SBTN" is not part of the BTN.
· Technical background The new BIC information is additionally written as a category in the ESIEEPROM during the device production. The structure of the ESI content is largely dictated by the ETG specifications, therefore the additional vendor-specific content is stored with the help of a category according to ETG.2010. ID 03 indicates to all EtherCAT masters that they must not overwrite these data in case of an update or restore the data after an ESI update. The structure follows the content of the BIC, see there. This results in a memory requirement of approx. 50..200 bytes in the EEPROM.
· Special cases
 If multiple, hierarchically arranged ESCs are installed in a device, only the top-level ESC carries the eBIC Information.
 If multiple, non-hierarchically arranged ESCs are installed in a device, all ESCs carry the eBIC Information.

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

13

Foreword
 If the device consists of several sub-devices with their own identity, but only the top-level device is accessible via EtherCAT, the eBIC of the top-level device is located in the CoE object directory 0x10E2:01 and the eBICs of the sub-devices follow in 0x10E2:nn.
Profibus/Profinet/DeviceNet... Devices Currently, no electronic storage and readout is planned for these devices.

standard components EK1101 or EL9410 respectively in terms of operation, but they additionally offer - extensive real-time diagnostics: incoming/outgoing voltages and currents, temperature, vibrations, etc. - Electrical isolation of E bus and power contact supply for trouble-free measurement operation  They can be used as supplements to the ELM3xxx terminals if their properties are of advantage, but there is no obligation to do so. ELM3xxx terminals can also be used with the standard couplers and EL9410. Accordingly, EKM1101/ELM9410 can also be used on standard EL/ES terminals.  Specific properties: see documentation for the system components
The name key for the ELM3xxx terminals is as follows

Note: ELM3xxx-1xxx are variants of which naming differ from the above scheme.
The devices have several technical features that facilitate the measurement operation. Availability depends on the device and series; please refer to the specific documentation.
· The channels of a terminal are fully independent and can be parameterized separately.
· Various pluggable connection levels are offered ex-factory; currently BNC, PushIn and LEMO and IEC thermocouple connector.
· An analog channel can measure beyond the nominal range specified above. This simplifies commissioning and troubleshooting. The resulting technical measuring range is approx. 107% of the nominal range. The "extended range" property can be disabled, in order to make the behavior compatible with the EL30/31/36xx "legacy range".
· Continuously the ELM3xxx terminals operate with 24 bit resolution. The data transfer is done IEC conforming via 32 bit (4 byte) variables which have to be considered for busload calculations. A reduced resolution of 8 or 16 bit can be set by some terminals.
· Each channel operates with EtherCAT Distributed Clocks. Each measured value therefore has a specific timestamp with ns resolution.
· There are terminals with a singular function, e.g. only voltage measurement, but also multi-function terminals, which support several or all of the measuring ranges listed above.

Product overview
· Even the singular types offer high measuring range flexibility, for example the ELM35xx for strain gauges/weighing applications. The integrated supply and the switchable auxiliary resistors enable direct connection of a resistor bridge (strain gauge SG) or load cell with 2-/3-/4-/6-wire connection technology, a fixed resistor, a PTC/NTC element or a potentiometer.
· The terminals/channels operate with a fixed sampling rate; currently 1,000 ... 50,000 Sps (samples per second) depending on the model. If a lower rate is required in the application, each channel can decimate independently.
· hardware filtering is designed for the 3 dB point to avoid aliasing
· Each channel has two configurable numeric software filters up to FIR 39th order (40 taps) or IIR 6th order. Both filters can be set based on an integrated list (a number of low-pass, high-pass, mean value filters) or a freely selectable coefficient table. the filter design can be done with the TwinCAT FilterDesigner or usual tools (Matlab®, Octave), instructions here in the document
· Non-linear characteristic sensor curves can be corrected flexibly through an integrated sampling points table. Simple mathematical operations are also possible.
· Sensor commissioning is facilitated by the AutoScale function at two measuring points.
· Each terminal has a unique ID number, which is printed and electronically readable (BIC/BTN)
· Calibration certificates are possible for the ELM3xxx as an orderable option as factory calibration certificate Beckhoff or ISO17025 external calibrated or DAkks. Re-calibration can be carried out by Beckhoff service. Details can be delivered by sales.
The individual terminals are presented below.

Process data interpretation

With regard to the output of the cyclic process data, the whole measuring range presents itself as follows:

Fig. 3: Basic range of a process data value
The channel for this terminal features an option to set the measuring range either to the conventional Beckhoff type: "nominal full-scale value = PDO end value: Legacy Range" or the new method "technical fullscale value = PDO end value: Extended Range".
· For Extended Range mode applies:
 Technical full scale value = PDO end value 0x007FFFFF.
 For information purposes, the channel can measure up to approx. 107% beyond the nominal range, although accuracy specifications etc. are then no longer valid.
 Outside the nominal measuring range, the Overrange or Underrange bit is set.
 For further diagnosis, the error bit and the error LED are set, if configurable limits are exceeded. By default the limits are set to the technical measuring range, although they can be narrowed by the customer. Example: In 4...20 mA measuring mode, the limit is set to 0 mA, although it can be customized in the CoE, e.g. to 3.6 mA, in order to enable earlier detection of sensor faults.
 The Extended Range mode is the default setting for the terminal.
 The mode is defined through the non-periodic rational LSB step size and an integer end value. The step size can therefore be used in a PLC program without rounding error.
· For Legacy Range mode applies:
 Nominal full scale value = PDO end value.
 Compatible with existing interface from EL30xx/EL31xx/EL36xx.
 Overrange/Underrange, Error bit and Error LED are set simultaneously if the nominal/technical measuring range is exceeded.
 Can be optionally activated in the terminal.
 The mode is defined by an integer end value; not a whole number of the LSB step is accepted for it.

General information on measuring accuracy/

measurement uncertainty

For basic information regarding the explanatory notes below, please refer to chapter "Notes on analog measured values [} 596]", particularly full scale value.
This guidance could be worth to read for saving effort, time and perhaps money, too.

Basic information on measurement technology:
Using measuring devices an attempt is made with a greater or lesser degree of expenditure to determine the "true value" of a measured variable, for example the ambient temperature. For various practical reasons this is not conclusively possible. Depending on the expenditure, the measurement/measured value is subject to a random measuring error that cannot be eliminated. With its practically determined specification data, Beckhoff provides an approach with which the residual measurement uncertainty can theoretically be calculated in the individual case. The following paragraphs serve this purpose.

General notes
No special maintenance required, although an annual inspection is recommended for the terminal.
If a factory calibration certificate is available for the device, a recalibration interval recommendation of 1 year applies, unless otherwise specified.

Notes regarding the specification data:
· Measurement specifications are usually specified as "% of nominal full scale value" = "% full scale value (%FSV)", unless otherwise specified.
· In conjunction with each individual value "typical" means that on average this parameter has the specified value. For individual terminals the parameter may deviate from the typical value. Once example is the current consumption.
· In the context of a limit (parameter is typically max./min. X) or with two limits (parameter is typically between X and Y) "typical" means that this parameter tends to be between the limits for individual terminals. Deviations are possible, however; see confidence level. Once example is noise. Usually no measurements are made, in order to be able to make statements about standard deviations or result frequencies. A typical value is usually indicated as such after the unit.
· The confidence level is 95%, unless otherwise specified.
· When operating in EMC-disturbed environments, twisted and shielded signal cables, grounded at least at one end, must be used in order to comply with the specification. The use of Beckhoff shielding accessories ZB8511 or ZS9100-0002 is recommended:

The ZB8520 DIN rail fastening is not recommended with regard to the analog protective effect:

· If not other specified, measurement errors etc. will be stated in electrical DC operation (no use of AC values). Measurement of an AC value influences the frequency slope of the analog input and therefore the measurement itself.

Product overview
Note on the temperature
The temperature within/outside the device affects the measurement through the electronics. A measuring setup is generally characterized by a temperature dependence, which is specified in the form of a temperature drift, for example. The specifications are based on a constant ambient temperature. Variable conditions (e.g. heating of the control cabinet, sudden temperature drop due to opening of the control cabinet in cold weather) resulting in a temperature change may alter the measured values through dynamic and heterogeneous temperature distribution. To rectify such effects, the temperature inside the device can be read online from the CoE and used for compensation. Some devices indicate electrically that they have thermally stabilized as well; see diagnosis features.
The specification data apply: · after a warm-up time under operating voltage and in fieldbus mode of least 60 minutes at constant ambient temperature  Practical note: after power-on the device already warms up exponentially such that the major part of the warming depending on the device within a short time of approximately 10 to 15 minutes is passing through and the measuring characteristics moving within the specification limits.  For clarification: typical trend of an inner temperature (no significance for a particular device):

 Some devices displays by the CoE object 0xF900:02 [} 321] that they are thermally stabilized and T within the device is very small. This can be evaluated by application,
· in horizontal installation position, taking account of the minimum distances, · at free convection (no forced ventilation), · provided the specification data are adhered to.
Under different conditions, a user-specific compensation is required.
Notes on calculation with the specification data:
The independent specification data can be divided into two groups: · the data on offset/gain deviation, non-linearity, repeatability whose effect on the measurement cannot be influenced by the user. These are summarized by Beckhoff according to the calculation below to the so-called "basic accuracy at 23°C". · the specification data whose effect on the measurement can be influenced by the user, namely  the noise: Effect influenced by sample rate, filtering and  the temperature: Effect influenced by air conditioning, shielding, control cabinet cooling, ...
The independent individual accuracy data are to be added quadratically according to the formula below in order to determine a total measurement accuracy - if there are no special conditions that that contradict a uniform distribution and thus the quadratic approach (RSS - root of the sum of the squares).

For measurement ranges where the temperature coefficient is given as TcTerminal only:

Product overview

EOffset EGain ENoise, PtP MV FSV ELin ERep TcOffset TcGain TcTerminal T EAge NYears ETotal

: Offset specification (at 23°C) : Gain/scale specification (at 23°C) : Noise specification as a peak-to-peak value (applies to all temperatures) : Measured value : Full scale value : Non-linearity error over the entire measuring range (applies to all temperatures) : Repeatability (applies to all temperatures) : Temperature coefficient offset : Temperature coefficient gain : Temperature coefficient of the terminal : Difference between the ambient temperature and the specified basic temperature (23°C unless specified otherwise) : Error coefficient of ageing : Number of years : Theoretical calculated total error

Let's say, for example, we have the following values by a determined measurement value of 8.13 V and 10 V measurement mode (FSV = 10 V) and NYears = 0:
· Gain specification: EGain = 60 ppmFSV · Offset specification: EOffset = 70 ppmFSV · Non-linearity: ELin = 25 ppmFSV · Repeatability: ERep = 20 ppmFSV · Noise (without filtering): ENoise, PtP = 100 ppmpeak-to-peak · Temperature coefficients:
 TcGain = 8 ppm/K  TcOffset = 5 ppmFSV/K

Then the theoretical possible total measurement accuracy at T = 12K to the basic temperature can be calculated as follows:

or = ±0.0143.. %FSV
Remarks: ppm  10-6

%  10-2

In general, you can calculate as follows:
· If only the application at 23°C is to be considered: Total measurement accuracy = basic accuracy & noise according to above formula
· If the application at 23°C is to be considered with slow measurement (=average value formation/ filtering): Total measurement accuracy = basic accuracy
· If the general use is to be considered with known temperature range and incl. noise: Total measurement accuracy = basic accuracy & noise & temperature values according to above formula
Beckhoff usually gives the specification data symmetrically in [±%], i.e. for example ±0.01% or ±100 ppm. Accordingly, therefore, the unsigned total window would be double the value. A peak-to-peak specification is also a total window specification; the symmetrical value is thus half of it. In the quadratic calculation below, the symmetrical "one-sided" value is to be inserted without a sign. Noise is usually specified in peak-to-peak form, therefore the equation for the noise value already contains the divisor factor 2.
Example:
· symmetrical specification: ±0.01% (equivalent to ±100 ppm) e.g. in case of offset specification

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

21

Product overview
· Total window: 0.02% (200 ppm)
· To be used in the equation: 0.01% (100 ppm)
The total measurement accuracy calculated in this way is to be regarded again as a symmetrical maximum value and thus to be provided with ± and  for further use.
Example:
· ETotal = 100 ppm · For further use: " ± 100 ppm"
To put it in words: "The offset of the individual accuracy specifications under the given conditions produced a window of 200 ppm that lies symmetrically around the individual measured value. The measured value specification x thus has an uncertainty of x ±100 ppm; the true value thus lies 95% in this range".
The noise component can be omitted
The noise component FNoise can be omitted from the above equation (= 0 ppm) if the average value of a set of samples is considered instead of a single sample. The averaging can take place in the PLC, or it can be done by a filter in the analog channel. The output value of a moving average of many samples has an almost eliminated noise component. The achievable accuracy increases if the noise component is decreasing.
NOTE
Error coefficient of ageing
If the specification value for the aging of Beckhoff is not (yet) specified, it must be assumed to be 0 ppm when considering measurement uncertainty, as in the above example, even if in reality it can be assumed over the operating time that the measurement uncertainty of the device under consideration changes, colloquially the measured value "drifts".
Experience has shown that the order of magnitude for an annual change (10,000 h) can be assumed to be the basic accuracy of the instrument under consideration if it is operated according to specification. This is an informative statement, without specification character, exceptions are possible. In general, the change in ageing will be very application-specific. A general ageing specification from Beckhoff will therefore be a guideline rather than a guaranteed upper limit when published.
If the measurement uncertainty consideration in the application shows that aging over the desired operating time can endanger the measurement success, Beckhoff recommends a cyclical check (recalibration) of the measurement channel, both with regard to sensor, cabling and Beckhoff measurement terminal. In this way, potential long-term changes in the measurement chain can be detected early and, if necessary, even the trigger (e.g. overtemperature) can be eliminated. See also the further notes in the chapter "Metrology and EtherCAT terminals - basic concepts".
Basic accuracy, extended basic accuracy and averaging
ü The basic accuracy will be designated separate for simplified usage.
a) The basic accuracy includes the offset/gain error, non-linearity and repeatability, but not the temperature coefficient nor the noise and is thereby a subset of the above given complete calculation. It is possible to increase the measurement accuracy beyond the basic accuracy by means of the offset correction. Note: the "extended basic accuracy" additionally includes the temperature behavior over the specified operating temperature range e.g. 0...60 °C by the temperature coefficient.
b) "Averaging" means that the value was obtained from the arithmetic average of usually 100,000 values for the elimination of the noise. Besides, the terminals internal averaging process need not be used absolutely. If resources available, accumulation of average can be executed within the PLC also.

Measurement accuracy of the measurement value (of reading)
In several cases the ,,Accuracy related to the up-to-date measurement value" (percentage of reading) i.e. ,,Accuracy of value" is requested instead of the ,,Accuracy related to the full scale value (FSV)" (percentage of range). This value could easily be calculated from the data given by the specification, as the total accuracy consists of a measurement value and full scale value depending part and an exclusive full scale value depending part:

Note: In Extended Range Mode the Underrange/Overrange display in the PDO status has the character of an information/warning when the nominal measuring range is exceeded, i.e. no Error is displayed in the PDO status and LED. If the technical measuring range is also exceeded, Error = TRUE is also displayed. The detection limit for Underrange/Overrange Error can be set in the CoE. In Legacy Range mode, an Underrange/Overrange event also leads to an Error in the PDO status.

Note: The channel also works in electrically bipolar mode and records negative values in the unipolar measuring ranges (measurement from 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA, 0 ). This enables the channel to provide a precise diagnosis even with signals < 0. In these measuring ranges the limit value for the "Underrange Error" in Extended Mode is -1% of the full scale value (FSV). The limit value can be set in CoE object 0x80n0:32 [} 312]. This avoids irritating error messages if the channel is not wired (e.g. without sensor) or the electrical signal fluctuates slightly around zero. The process data value of 0x00000000 is not undershot. If the "UnderrangeError" detection is to be set even less sensitive, the magnitude of the negative limit value in the CoE object referred to above can be set even higher.

Fig. 25: Representation current measurement range 4...20 mA
Note: The channel also works in electrically bipolar mode and records negative values in the unipolar measuring ranges (measurement from 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA, 0 ). This enables the channel to provide a precise diagnosis even with signals < 0. In these measuring ranges the limit value for the "Underrange Error" in Extended Mode is -1% of the full scale value (FSV). The limit value can be set in CoE object 0x80n0:32 [} 312]. This avoids irritating error messages if the channel is not wired (e.g. without sensor) or the electrical signal fluctuates slightly around zero. The process data value of 0x00000000 is not undershot. If the "UnderrangeError" detection is to be set even less sensitive, the magnitude of the negative limit value in the CoE object referred to above can be set even higher.

The 2-, 4-, 6- or 8-channel ELM314x EtherCAT terminals in the Economy line can be set to current or voltage measurement channel by channel, offering sampling rates of up to 1 ksps per channel. Analog signals in the ranges from ±1.25 to ±10 V, 0 to 10 V, ±20 mA or 0/4 to 20 mA can be processed. The settings for U or I measurement mode and the desired measuring ranges can be selected via the control system and TwinCAT in the CoE interface. Here it is also possible to select the extensive diagnostics features for unattended long-term use. The 2-, 4- or 6-pin push-in connectors can be removed for maintenance purposes; they enable a direct supply of connected sensors. The power contacts on the side simplify the potential distribution directly on the DIN rail. The typical EtherCAT features are available: distributed clocks functionality with timestamp and the familiar data features of the basic line such as filtering, true RMS calculation and more. Variants with factory calibration certificate and recalibration service on request are in preparation for the ELM measurement terminals.
Optional calibration certificate:
· with factory calibration certificate as ELM314x-0020: on request
· external calibrated (ISO17025 or DAkks) as ELM314x-0030: on request

2 and 4 channel measuring bridge analysis, full/half/quarter bridge, 24 bit, 10/ 20 ksps
The ELM350x EtherCAT terminals are designed for the evaluation of measuring bridges in full-bridge, halfbridge and quarter-bridge configuration. The terminals feature internally switchable supplementary resistors. The feed is integrated. Like all other parameters, the supply voltage is adjustable in the CoE. Irrespective of the signal configuration, all ELM3xxx terminals have the same technological properties. The ELM350x terminals for the evaluation of measuring bridges offer a maximum sampling rate of 10,000 or 20,000 samples per second. The 6-pin plug (push-in) can be removed for maintenance purposes without releasing the individual wires.

3.8.2.4 RTD/PT1000 measurement
RTD specification and conversion
Temperature measurement with a resistance-dependent RTD sensor generally consists of two steps:
· Electrical measurement of the resistance, if necessary in several ohmic measuring ranges · Conversion (transformation) of the resistance into a temperature value by software means according to
the set RTD type (PT100, PT1000...).
Both steps can take place locally in the Beckhoff measurement device. The transformation in the device can also be deactivated if it is to be calculated on a higher level in the control. Depending on the device type, several RTD conversions can be implemented which only differs in software. This means for Beckhoff RTD measurement devices that
· a specification table of the electrical resistance measurement is given · and based on this, the effect for the temperature measurement is given below depending on the
supported RTD type. Note that RTD characteristic curves are always realized as higher-order equations or by a sampling points table in the software, therefore a linear RT transfer only makes sense in a narrow range.
Application on the ELM350x
The ELM350x supports the measurement of resistances up to 2 k in 2/3/4wire measurement and the conversion of PT1000 RTD sensors up to 2000  / 266 °C.
Although the ELM350x does not support a sole resistance measurement (without conversion to temperature), a resistance specification is given here because the temperature measurement is based on it.
Note on 2-/3-/4-wire connection in R/RTD mode
With 2wire measurement, the line resistance of the sensor supply lines influences the measured value. If a reduction of this systematic error component is desirable for 2wire measurements, the resistance of the supply line to the measuring resistance should be taken into account, in which case the resistance of the supply line has to be determined first. Taking into account the uncertainty associated with this supply line resistance, it can then be included statically in the calculation, in the EL3751 via 0x8000:13 [} 312] and in the ELM350x/ ELM370x via 0x80n0:13 [} 312]. Any change in resistance of the supply line due to ageing, for example, is not taken into account automatically.
A 3wire measurement enables the systematic component to be eliminated, assuming that the two supply lines are identical. With this type of measurement, the lead resistance of a supply line is measured continuously. The value determined in this way is then deducted twice from the measurement result, thereby eliminating the line resistance. Technically, this leads to a significantly more reliable measurement. However, taking into account the measurement uncertainty, the gain from the 3wire connection is less significant, since this assumption is subject to high uncertainty, in view of the fact that the individual line that was not measured may be damaged, or a varying resistance may have gone unnoticed.
Therefore, although technically the 3wire connection is a tried and tested approach, for measurements that are methodological assessed based on measurement uncertainty, we strongly recommend fullycompensated 4wire connection.
With both 2wire and 3wire connection, the contact resistances of the terminal contacts influence the measuring process. The measuring accuracy can be further increased by a userside adjustment with the signal connection plugged in.
NOTE Measurement of small resistances
Especially for measurements in the range < 10 , the 4wire connection is absolutely necessary due to the relatively high supply and contact resistances. It should also be considered that with such low resistances the relative measurement error in relation to the full scale value (FSV) can become high  for such measurements resistance measurement terminals with small measuring ranges such as EL3692 in 4wire measurement should be used if necessary.

The temperature display in [°C/digit] (e.g. 0.1°/digit or 0.01°/digit) is independent from the electrical measurement. It is "just" a display setting and results from the PDO setting, see chapter "Comissioning".
Data for the sensor types in the following table
The values for the sensor types listed in the following table are shown here merely for informative purposes as an orientation aid. All data are given without guarantee and must be cross-checked against the data sheet for the respective sensor employed. The RTD measurement consists of a chain of measuring and computing elements that affect the attainable measurement deviation:

The given resistance specification is decisive for the attainable temperature measurement accuracy. It is applied to the possible RTD types in the following.
On account of
· the non-linearity existing in the RTD and thus the high dependency of the specification data on the sensor temperature Tsens and
· the influence of the ambient temperature on the analog input device employed (leads to a change in Tmeasured on account of Tambient although Tsens = constant)
no detailed temperature specification table is given in the following, but
· a short table specifying the electrical measuring range and orientation value for the basic accuracy · a graph of the basic accuracy over Tsens (this at two example ambient temperatures so that the
attainable basic accuracy is implied on account of the actual existing ambient temperature) · equations for calculating further parameters (offset/gain/non-linearity/repeatability/noise) if necessary

If further specification data are of interest, they can or must be calculated from the values given in the resistance specification.
The sequence:
· General: The conversion is explained here only for one measuring point (a certain input signal); the steps simply have to be repeated in case of several measuring points (up to the entire measuring range).
· If the measured resistance at the measured temperature measuring point is unknown, the measured value (MW) in [ ] must be determined: MW = RMeasuring point (TMeasuring ) point with the help of an RT table
· The deviation at this resistance value is calculated
 Via the total equation

 or a single value, e.g. ESingle = 15 ppmFSV
 the measurement uncertainty in [] must be calculated: E (R Resistance Measuring ) point = E (R Total Measuring ) point * FSV or: E (R ) Resistance Measuring point = E (R Single Measuring ) point * FSV or (if already known) e.g.: E (R Resistance Measuring ) point = 0.03 
· The slope at the point used must then be determined: RproK(TMeasuring ) point = [ R(TMeasuring point + 1 °C) ­ R(TMeasuring point )] / 1 °C with the help of an RT table
· The temperature measurement uncertainty can be calculated from the resistance measurement uncertainty and the slope E (R Temp Measuring ) point = (E (T )) Resistance Measuring point / (RproK(TMeasuring ) point )

· To determine the error of the entire system consisting of RTD and ELM350x in [°C], the two errors must be added together quadratically:

The numerical values used in the following three examples are for illustration purposes. The specification values given in the technical data remain authoritative.
Example 1: Basic accuracy of an ELM3504 at 35 °C ambient temperature, measurement of -100 °C in the PT1000 interface (4-wire), without the influence of noise and aging: TMeasuring point = -100 °C MW = RPT1000, -100 °C = 602.56 

= 86.238 ppmFSV E (R Resistance Measuring ) point = 86.238 ppmFSV * 2000  = 0.1725  RproK(TMeasuring ) point = (R(-99 °C) ­ R(-100 °C)) / (1 °C) = 4.05 /°C EELM3504@35°C, PT1000, -100 °C = (0.1725 )/(4.05 /°C)  0.043 °C (means ±0.043 °C)

Example 2: Consideration of the repeatability alone under the above conditions: TMeasuring point = -100 °C MW = RMeasuring point (-100 °C) = 602.56  ESingle = 10 ppmFSV E = Resistance 10 ppmFSV * 2000  = 0.02  RproK(TMeasuring ) point = (R-99 °C ­ R-100 °C) / 1 °C = 4.05 /°C E (R Temp Measuring ) point = 0.02  / 4.05 /°C  0.005 °C (means ±0.005 °C)

Example 3: Consideration of the RMS noise alone without filter under the above conditions: TMeasuring point = -100 °C MW = RMeasuring point (-100 °C) = 602.56  ESingle = 37 ppmFSV E = Resistance 37 ppmFSV * 2000  = 0.074  RproK(TMeasuring ) point = (R-99 °C ­ R-100 °C) / 1 °C = 4.05 /°C E (R Temp Measuring ) point = 0.074  / 4.05 /°C  0.018 °C (means ± 0.018 °C)

2) A regular offset adjustment with connected potentiometer is recommended. The given offset specification of the terminal is therefore practically irrelevant. Therefore, specification values with and without offset are given here. In practice, the offset component can be eliminated by the terminal functions Tare and also ZeroOffset or in the controller by a higher-level tare function. The offset deviation over time can change, therefore Beckhoff recommends a regular offset adjustment or careful observation of the change.

3.8.2.6 Measurement SG 1/1 bridge (full bridge) 4/6-wire connection
To determine the measuring error:
The nominal/technical measuring range is specified in "mV/V"; the maximum permitted supply voltage is 5 V. The maximum nominal measuring range that can be used for the bridge voltage is therefore ±32 mV/V * 5 V = ±160 mV; the internal circuits are configured accordingly.
The internal measurement is ratiometric, i.e. the feed voltage and the bridge voltage are not measured absolutely, but as a ratio.
The integrated supply can be used as power supply. An external supply is permitted, as long as 5 V is not exceeded.
The following is the specification given for the 6 wire connection. External line resistances are compensated by the 6 wire connection and the full bridge is detected directly from the measuring channel.
In the 4 wire connection, the terminal generally has the same specification, but its view of the connected full bridge is clouded by the unclear and temperature-dependent lead resistances within cables and connectors. In this respect, the overall system "full bridge + leads + measurement channel" will practically not achieve specification values given below. The lead resistances (cables, connectors, ...) have an effect especially on the gain error, also depending on the temperature.
The gain error can be estimated by (R+uv (1+ T* TCCu) + R-uv(1+T* TCCu) )/Rnom with TCCu~3930 ppm/K, Rnom e.g. 350  and R+uv or R-uv lead resistances respectively.
NOTE Increase measurement accuracy: switcheable shunt
By a user-side adjustment with plugged signal connection, the measurement accuracy can be further increased. The ELM350x and ELM370x terminals also have a shunt resistor which can be switched from their CoE directory (0x80n0:08 [} 312]).
The use of the measurement channel in the 6 wire connection is recommended, especially when significant resistors such as a lightning arrester are put into the line.
Note: specifications apply for 5 V SG excitation and symmetric 350R SG.

2) In real bridge measurement, an offset adjustment is usually carried out after installation. The given offset specification of the terminal is therefore practically irrelevant. Therefore, specification values with and without offset are given here. In practice, the offset component can be eliminated by the terminal functions Tare and also ZeroOffset or in the controller by a higher-level tare function. The offset deviation of a bridge measurement over time can change, therefore Beckhoff recommends a regular offset adjustment or careful observation of the change.

3.8.2.7 Measurement SG 1/2 bridge (half bridge) 3/5-wire connection
To determine the measuring error:
The nominal/technical measuring range is specified in "mV/V"; the maximum permitted supply voltage is 5 V. The maximum nominal measuring range that can be used for the bridge voltage is therefore ±16 mV/V * 5V = ±80 mV; the internal circuits are designed for the 160 mV of the full bridge measurement.
The internal measurement is ratiometric, i.e. the feed voltage and the bridge voltage are not measured absolutely, but as a ratio.
The integrated supply can be used as power supply. An external supply is permitted, as long as 5 V is not exceeded.
The following is the specification given for the 5 wire connection. External line resistances are compensated by the 5 wire connection and the half-bridge is detected directly from the measuring channel.
In the 3 wire connection, the terminal generally has the same specification, but its view of the connected halfbridge is clouded by the unclear and temperature-dependent lead resistances within cables and connectors. In this respect, the overall system "half-bridge + leads + measurement channel" will practically not achieve specification values given below. The lead resistances (cables, connectors, ...) have an effect especially on the gain error, also depending on the temperature.
The gain error can be estimated by (R+uv (1+ T* TCCu) + R-uv(1+T* TCCu) )/Rnom with TCCu~3930 ppm/K, Rnom e.g. 350  and R+uv or R-uv lead resistances respectively.
The use of the measurement channel in the 5 wire connection is recommended.
Note: specifications apply for 3.5 V SG excitation and symmetric 350R SG.
Note: Adjustment of the half-bridge measurement and thus validity of the data from production week 2018/ 50 and

NOTE
Transition resistances of the terminal contacts
The transition resistance values of the terminal contacts affect the measurement. The measuring accuracy can be further increased by a user-side adjustment with the signal connection plugged in.

Validity of property values
The resistor of the bridge is positioned parallel to the internal resistor of the terminal and leads to an offset shifting respectively. The Beckhoff factory calibration will be carried out with the half bridge 350 , thus the values specified above are directly valid for the 350  half bridge. By connection of another dimensioned half-bridge is to:
· perform a balancing (offset correction) by the terminal itself or the control/PLC on application side
· or the abstract offset error have to be entered into the balancing parameter S0 of the terminal. Example: a 350  half bridge correlates by the compensated effect of the input resistor (2 M) during factory calibration 0.26545 %FSV (16 mV/V), that corresponds to 20738 digits.

3.8.2.8 Measurement SG 1/4 bridge (quarter-bridge) 2/3-wire connection
Notes
· In practice, quarter-bridge measurement is not recommended in 2-wire mode. Common copper supply lines with inherent resistance (e.g. approx. 17 m/m with 1 mm² stranded wire) and very high temperature sensitivity (approx. 4000 ppm/K, approx. 0.4%/K) have a significant influence on the calculation, which can only be corrected through continuous offset and gain adjustment. Only 3-wire operation should be used.
· Specifications apply to 5 V strain gauge excitation. · Data valid from production week 21/2019 and for ELM3502: HW03, for ELM3504: HW04 · Specifications only apply when using ferrules and for cross-sections of 0.5 mm² or more. For smaller
cross-sections, increased transition resistance is to be expected. · Avoid repeated insertion/extraction of the push-in connectors in quarter-bridge operation, since this
may increase the contact resistance · Integrated power supply: 1...5 V adjustable, max. supply/excitation 21 mA (internal electronic overload

Product overview
2) In real bridge measurement, an offset adjustment is usually carried out after installation. The given offset specification of the terminal is therefore practically irrelevant. Therefore, specification values with and without offset are given here. In practice, the offset component can be eliminated by the terminal functions Tare and also ZeroOffset or in the controller by a higher-level tare function. The offset deviation of a bridge measurement over time can change, therefore Beckhoff recommends a regular offset adjustment or careful observation of the change.
3) Values refer to common-mode interference between SGND and internal GND.
4) The offset specification does not apply to 2-wire operation, since the offset is increased on the device side. Offset adjustment is recommended, see Tare or Zero offset function.
5) The channel measures electrically to 8 mV/V, but displays its measured value scaled to 2 or 4 mV/V. The Compensated function facilitates measurement of low levels even with high offset.
NOTE Transition resistances of the terminal contacts
The transition resistance values of the terminal contacts affect the measurement. The measuring accuracy can be further increased by a user-side adjustment with the signal connection plugged in.
The temperature sensitivity of the terminal and thus of the measurement setup can be reduced if an external, more temperature-stable supplementary resistor is used for terminal operation in half-bridge or even fullbridge mode instead of the internal supplementary resistor for quarter-bridge mode.
To calculate the quarter-bridge:

R2/3/4 are the terminal-internal switchable supplementary resistors, R1 is the (nominally equal-sized) variable quarter-bridge.

The strain relationship (µStrain, µ) is as follows:
For the quarter-bridge, N=1 always applies. The relationship between UBridge/UExc and R1 is non-linear:

The ELM350x devices apply internal linearization so that the output is already linearized since the internal calculation is based on UExc'.

Fig. 53: ELM3542-0000, ELM3544-0000
2 and 4 channel measuring bridge analysis, full/half/quarter bridge, 24 bit, 1 ksps, TEDS
The ELM3542 and ELM3544 EtherCAT terminals from the ELM3x4x economy series are designed for the evaluation of measuring bridges in full bridge, half bridge and quarter bridge configuration. With a maximum data rate of 1 ksps per channel they are ideally suited for the recording of less dynamic procedures, such as slow oscillations and corresponding weighing procedures. In return, they measure with low noise and are temperature-stable over the permitted ambient temperature. The integrated bridge supply can supply 1 to 12 V and, like all other parameters, is adjustable online in the CoE at runtime. In addition, the ELM3542 features a connection for one TEDSIC in the sensor per channel ­ this way the SG can be electronically read, detected and also written immediately upon plugging in. Apart from that, the ELM354x have all the features familiar from the fast ELM350x basic series, such as internally switchable extension resistors and comprehensive sensor and function diagnostics for industrial 24/7 operation. The 6pin connector (push-in) is removable for maintenance purposes without releasing the individual wires.

Product overview
2 and 4 channel IEPE analysis, 24 bit, 20/ 50 ksps, BNC
The ELM360x EtherCAT terminals are designed for the evaluation of IEPE sensors (Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric) with and without TEDS, which are mainly used for vibration diagnostics and acoustics. The constant current feed can be set to 0/2/4 mA. The input characteristics are also flexibly adjustable from DC to 10 Hz as high pass filter. The ELM360x basically measures sensor voltages (single ended) up to 20 V AC/ DC, but the internal scaler function can be used if, for example, an output in acceleration [m/s²] is desired. The TEDS data of a sensor can be read out and written.
Possible applications: · Acquisition of AC voltage from IEPE sensors (oscillation measurement, acustics) · Measurement of mV voltages over current shunts (AC/DC) Note: due to single ended configuration possible on low side shunts only · Common measurement of voltages up to 20 V single ended (AC/DC)
Irrespective of the signal configuration, all ELM3x0x terminals have the same functional properties. The ELM360x terminals for IEPE evaluation offer a maximum sampling rate of 20,000 or 50,000 samples per second.
Two connector variants were offered: due to IEPE sensors are often connected via coaxial cables, the ELM360x-0002 terminals features BNC connectors; the ELM360x-0000 provides the controlcabinetfriendly PushIn. In strong EMC burdened environments, the PushIn connector can be preferred because here shield and signal ground can be performed separately.
Optional calibration certificate: · with factory calibration certificate as ELM360x-0020: on request · external calibrated (ISO17025 or DAkks) as ELM360x-0030: on request

The input channels can be operated in principle in the operation mode AC coupling or DC coupling, see chapter "IEPE AC Coupling":
· AC coupling: the arbitrary input signal is fed via a high-pass filter, after which only the corresponding alternating component (AC) remains for the digital processing inside the terminal.
· DC coupling: the arbitrary input signal is digitally processed "as it is", irrespective of whether or not it has an alternating component (AC).

3.10.2.2 IEPE high pass properties

Product overview
The input channels can be operated in principle in the operation mode AC coupling or DC coupling, see chapter "IEPE AC Coupling":
· AC coupling: the arbitrary input signal is fed via a high-pass filter, after which only the corresponding alternating component (AC) remains for the digital processing inside the terminal.
· DC coupling: the arbitrary input signal is digitally processed "as it is", irrespective of whether or not it has an alternating component (AC).
DC restriction
Only AC coupling is possible in the three measuring ranges "IEPE ±10 V" (97), "IEPE ±5 V" (98) and "IEPE ±2.5 V" (99). If voltages with a DCcomponent (offset) are to be measured, the voltage measuring ranges "U ±10 V" (2), "U ±5 V" (3) and "U ±2.5 V" (4) must be used instead. The respective measuring range index number is given in the brackets.
The typical frequency behavior in the measuring range 2.5 V is as follows:

Product overview

Note: if other dynamic filter properties are desired, you can proceed as follows: · Operate the ELM370x terminal in the measuring range "0..20 V" · Deactivate IEPE AC coupling in the respective channel

· The channel now measures with 23 bits + sign over 20 V, i.e. including the bias voltage, which is normally 10..16 V. With the implementation of a high-pass on the user side by means of TwinCAT programming (inside the PLC), the bias component (DC component) is now consequently to be suppressed on the controller side. The now reduced signal resolution of the measuring range ±2.5 V with 24 bits to 20 V with 23 bits must be considered. In return for that, the user obtains full digital control over the measuring behavior in the lower frequency range.

Note: The channel also works in electrically bipolar mode and records negative values in the unipolar measuring ranges (measurement from 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA, 0 ). This enables the channel to provide a precise diagnosis even with signals < 0. In these measuring ranges the limit value for the "Underrange Error" in Extended Mode is -1% of the full scale value (FSV). The limit value can be set in CoE object 0x80n0:32 [} 312]. This avoids irritating error messages if the channel is not wired (e.g. without sensor) or the electrical signal fluctuates slightly around zero. The process data value of 0x00000000 is not undershot. If the "UnderrangeError" detection is to be set even less sensitive, the magnitude of the negative limit value in the CoE object referred to above can be set even higher.

Note: The channel also works in electrically bipolar mode and records negative values in the unipolar measuring ranges (measurement from 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA, 0 ). This enables the channel to provide a precise diagnosis even with signals < 0. In these measuring ranges the limit value for the "Underrange Error" in Extended Mode is -1% of the full scale value (FSV). The limit value can be set in CoE object 0x80n0:32 [} 312]. This avoids irritating error messages if the channel is not wired (e.g. without sensor) or the electrical signal fluctuates slightly around zero. The process data value of 0x00000000 is not undershot. If the "UnderrangeError" detection is to be set even less sensitive, the magnitude of the negative limit value in the CoE object referred to above can be set even higher.

2 and 4 channel multi-functional input, 24 bit, 10 ksps
The EtherCAT terminals from the ELM series were developed in order to enable the high-quality measurement of common electrical signals in the industrial environment. Flexibly usable measurement devices are especially useful in laboratory and testing technology environments. Therefore the ELM370x multifunction terminals feature an input circuit that can be set to over 70 different types of electrical connection via EtherCAT: from voltages of ±60 V to ±20 mV, thus supporting thermocouples and IEPE, a current of ±20 mA, a resistance measurement of 5 k and thus also temperature RTDs (PT100, etc.), measuring bridges and potentiometers, and all of this with a 2- to 6-wire connection, depending on the type. Thus, most electrical measuring tasks can be solved with just a single terminal. There is a choice of different connection types:
· The ELM3704-0001 with its high-quality LEMO connectors is mainly designed for laboratory use, where sensor configurations are changed on a daily basis, but a stable and reliable plug connection is nevertheless required.
· The 6-pin version with push-in (ELM3704-0000/ELM3702-0000) on the other hand is ideal for industrial use where a plug is unplugged less frequently for maintenance purposes and fast wiring is much more important.
The other ELM3x0x terminals are price-optimized versions of the ELM370x basic class and thus ideal for use in machines with planned and foreseeable usage scenarios in which the measurement method of an analog input channel does not need to be changed at runtime. In return, they may have advanced features, like the ELM360x terminals (IEPE evaluation), which offer a switchable feed.
Optional calibration certificate:
· with factory calibration certificate as ELM370x-0020: on request
· external calibrated (ISO17025 or DAkks) as ELM370x-0030: on request
· Re-calibration service via the Beckhoff service: on request

Note: In Extended Range Mode the Underrange/Overrange display in the PDO status has the character of an information/warning when the nominal measuring range is exceeded, i.e. no Error is displayed in the PDO status and LED. If the technical measuring range is also exceeded, Error = TRUE is also displayed. The detection limit for Underrange/Overrange Error can be set in the CoE. In Legacy Range mode, an Underrange/Overrange event also leads to an Error in the PDO status.

In Legacy Range mode, an Underrange/Overrange event also leads to an Error in the PDO status.

Fig. 81: Representation 0...10 V measurement range
Note: The channel also works in electrically bipolar mode and records negative values in the unipolar measuring ranges (measurement from 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA, 0 ). This enables the channel to provide a precise diagnosis even with signals < 0. In these measuring ranges the limit value for the "Underrange Error" in Extended Mode is -1% of the full scale value (FSV). The limit value can be set in CoE object 0x80n0:32 [} 312]. This avoids irritating error messages if the channel is not wired (e.g. without sensor) or the electrical signal fluctuates slightly around zero. The process data value of 0x00000000 is not undershot.
If the "UnderrangeError" detection is to be set even less sensitive, the magnitude of the negative limit value in the CoE object referred to above can be set even higher.

Note: The channel also works in electrically bipolar mode and records negative values in the unipolar measuring ranges (measurement from 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA, 0 ). This enables the channel to provide a precise diagnosis even with signals < 0. In these measuring ranges the limit value for the "Underrange Error" in Extended Mode is -1% of the full scale value (FSV). The limit value can be set in CoE object 0x80n0:32 [} 312]. This avoids irritating error messages if the channel is not wired (e.g. without sensor) or the electrical signal fluctuates slightly around zero. The process data value of 0x00000000 is not undershot. If the "UnderrangeError" detection is to be set even less sensitive, the magnitude of the negative limit value in the CoE object referred to above can be set even higher.

3.11.2.4 Measurement resistance

Note on measuring resistances or resistance ratios
With 2wire measurement, the line resistance of the sensor supply lines influences the measured value. If a reduction of this systematic error component is desirable for 2wire measurements, the resistance of the supply line to the measuring resistance should be taken into account, in which case the resistance of the supply line has to be determined first. Taking into account the uncertainty associated with this supply line resistance, it can then be included statically in the calculation, in the EL3751 via 0x8000:13 [} 312] and in the ELM350x/ ELM370x via 0x80n0:13 [} 312]. Any change in resistance of the supply line due to ageing, for example, is not taken into account automatically.
A 3wire measurement enables the systematic component to be eliminated, assuming that the two supply lines are identical. With this type of measurement, the lead resistance of a supply line is measured continuously. The value determined in this way is then deducted twice from the measurement result, thereby eliminating the line resistance. Technically, this leads to a significantly more reliable measurement. However, taking into account the measurement uncertainty, the gain from the 3wire connection is less significant, since this assumption is subject to high uncertainty, in view of the fact that the individual line that was not measured may be damaged, or a varying resistance may have gone unnoticed.
Therefore, although technically the 3wire connection is a tried and tested approach, for measurements that are methodological assessed based on measurement uncertainty, we strongly recommend fullycompensated 4wire connection.
With both 2wire and 3wire connection, the contact resistances of the terminal contacts influence the measuring process. The measuring accuracy can be further increased by a userside adjustment with the signal connection plugged in.
NOTE
Measurement of small resistances
Especially for measurements in the range < 10 , the 4wire connection is absolutely necessary due to the relatively high supply and contact resistances. It should also be considered that with such low resistances the relative measurement error in relation to the full scale value (FSV) can become high  for such measurements resistance measurement terminals with small measuring ranges such as EL3692 in 4wire measurement should be used if necessary.
Corresponding considerations also lead to the common connection methods in bridge operation:
· Full bridge: 4wire connection without line compensation, 6wire connection with full line compensation
· Half bridge: 3wire connection without line compensation, 5wire connection with full line compensation
· Quarter bridge: 2wire connection without line compensation, 3wire connection with theoretical line compensation and 4wire connection with full line compensation

Note: The channel also works in electrically bipolar mode and records negative values in the unipolar measuring ranges (measurement from 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA, 0 ). This enables the channel to provide a precise diagnosis even with signals < 0. In these measuring ranges the limit value for the "Underrange Error" in Extended Mode is -1% of the full scale value (FSV). The limit value can be set in CoE object 0x80n0:32 [} 312]. This avoids irritating error messages if the channel is not wired (e.g. without sensor) or the electrical signal fluctuates slightly around zero. The process data value of 0x00000000 is not undershot. If the "UnderrangeError" detection is to be set even less sensitive, the magnitude of the negative limit value in the CoE object referred to above can be set even higher.
Note: In Extended Range Mode the Underrange/Overrange display in the PDO status has the character of an information/warning when the nominal measuring range is exceeded, i.e. no Error is displayed in the PDO status and LED. If the technical measuring range is also exceeded, Error = TRUE is also displayed. The detection limit for Underrange/Overrange Error can be set in the CoE. In Legacy Range mode, an Underrange/Overrange event also leads to an Error in the PDO status.

Application on ELM370x Basically the electrical resistance measurement range is independent adjustable of the RTD transformation. Thus achievable temperature measuring accuracy depending on the electrical resistance measuring ranges are given in the following.

In temperature mode, only the legacy range is available, the extended range is not available. The temperature display in [°C/digit] (e.g. 0.1°/digit or 0.01°/digit) is independent from the electrical measurement.

RTD measurement with Beckhoff terminals
RTD specification and conversion
Temperature measurement with a resistance-dependent RTD sensor generally consists of two steps: · Electrical measurement of the resistance, if necessary in several ohmic measuring ranges · Conversion (transformation) of the resistance into a temperature value by software means according to the set RTD type (PT100, PT1000...).
Both steps can take place locally in the Beckhoff measurement device. The transformation in the device can also be deactivated if it is to be calculated on a higher level in the control. Depending on the device type, several RTD conversions can be implemented which only differs in software. This means for Beckhoff RTD measurement devices that
· a specification table of the electrical resistance measurement is given · and based on this, the effect for the temperature measurement is given below depending on the
supported RTD type. Note that RTD characteristic curves are always realized as higher-order equations or by a sampling points table in the software, therefore a linear RT transfer only makes sense in a narrow range.
Notes to 2/3/4 wire connection within R/RTD operation
With 2wire measurement, the line resistance of the sensor supply lines influences the measured value. If a reduction of this systematic error component is desirable for 2wire measurements, the resistance of the supply line to the measuring resistance should be taken into account, in which case the resistance of the supply line has to be determined first. Taking into account the uncertainty associated with this supply line

204

Product overview
resistance, it can then be included statically in the calculation, in the EL3751 via 0x8000:13 [} 312] and in the ELM350x/ ELM370x via 0x80n0:13 [} 312]. Any change in resistance of the supply line due to ageing, for example, is not taken into account automatically.
A 3wire measurement enables the systematic component to be eliminated, assuming that the two supply lines are identical. With this type of measurement, the lead resistance of a supply line is measured continuously. The value determined in this way is then deducted twice from the measurement result, thereby eliminating the line resistance. Technically, this leads to a significantly more reliable measurement. However, taking into account the measurement uncertainty, the gain from the 3wire connection is less significant, since this assumption is subject to high uncertainty, in view of the fact that the individual line that was not measured may be damaged, or a varying resistance may have gone unnoticed.
Therefore, although technically the 3wire connection is a tried and tested approach, for measurements that are methodological assessed based on measurement uncertainty, we strongly recommend fullycompensated 4wire connection.
With both 2wire and 3wire connection, the contact resistances of the terminal contacts influence the measuring process. The measuring accuracy can be further increased by a userside adjustment with the signal connection plugged in.
NOTE Measurement of small resistances
Especially for measurements in the range < 10 , the 4wire connection is absolutely necessary due to the relatively high supply and contact resistances. It should also be considered that with such low resistances the relative measurement error in relation to the full scale value (FSV) can become high  for such measurements resistance measurement terminals with small measuring ranges such as EL3692 in 4wire measurement should be used if necessary.
Corresponding considerations also lead to the common connection methods in bridge operation:
· Full bridge: 4wire connection without line compensation, 6wire connection with full line compensation · Half bridge: 3wire connection without line compensation, 5wire connection with full line compensation · Quarter bridge: 2wire connection without line compensation, 3wire connection with theoretical line
compensation and 4wire connection with full line compensation

The values for the sensor types listed in the following table are shown here merely for informative purposes as an orientation aid. All data are given without guarantee and must be cross-checked against the data sheet for the respective sensor employed.
The RTD measurement consists of a chain of measuring and computing elements that affect the attainable measurement deviation:

The given resistance specification is decisive for the attainable temperature measurement accuracy. It is applied to the possible RTD types in the following.

Notes on the calculation of detailed specification data
If further specification data are of interest, they can or must be calculated from the values given in the resistance specification.
The sequence: · General: The conversion is explained here only for one measuring point (a certain input signal); the steps simply have to be repeated in case of several measuring points (up to the entire measuring range). · If the measured resistance at the measured temperature measuring point is unknown, the measured value (MW) in [ ] must be determined: MW = RMeasuring point (TMeasuring ) point with the help of an RT table · The deviation at this resistance value is calculated  Via the total equation
 or a single value, e.g. ESingle = 15 ppmFSV  the measurement uncertainty in [] must be calculated:
E (R Resistance Measuring ) point = E (R Total Measuring ) point * FSV or: E (R ) Resistance Measuring point = E (R Single Measuring ) point * FSV or (if already known) e.g.: E (R Resistance Measuring ) point = 0.03  · The slope at the point used must then be determined: RproK(TMeasuring ) point = [ R(TMeasuring point + 1 °C) ­ R(TMeasuring point )] / 1 °C with the help of an RT table · The temperature measurement uncertainty can be calculated from the resistance measurement uncertainty and the slope E (R Temp Measuring ) point = (E (T )) Resistance Measuring point / (RproK(TMeasuring ) point ) · To determine the error of the entire system consisting of RTD and ELM350x in [°C], the two errors must be added together quadratically:

The numerical values used in the following three examples are for illustration purposes. The specification values given in the technical data remain authoritative.

A sample file for the calculation of the Steinhart-Hart parameters is also available in the EL3204-0200 documentation. For determining the parameters the resistance values at three known temperatures are required. These can either be taken from the manufacturer data or measured directly at the sensor.

For some frequently used RTD types, you will find below an overview of the achievable measurement uncertainties for each RTD type and measuring range used. The graphic illustrations offer fast orientation so that the best possible setting can be chosen for the respective measuring task.
The measurement uncertainty of the RTD sensor itself (accuracy class) still has to be added for the final result.

*) See initial remarks about 2/3-wire operation. The offset specification does not apply in 2-wire operation, as the offset is increased due to the connection. In 2-wire operation, an offset compensation is to be carried out after installation; refer to the ELM's internal functions Tare (chapter "ELM Features" / "Tare") or Zero Offset (chapter "ELM Features" / "ZeroOffset"). The given offset specification of the terminal thus plays practically no further part. The offset deviation of a resistance measurement can change over time, therefore Beckhoff recommends a regular offset compensation or attentive monitoring of the change.
**) The temperature coefficient, i.e. the change in the measured temperature value in relation to the change in the ambient temperature of the terminal, is not constant, as can be seen in the following plot. The value at a sensor temperature of 0 °C is given here as an orientation value. Further values can be taken from the plot.

3.11.2.6 Potentiometer measurement

The potentiometer should be supplied with the integrated power supply unit (max. 5 V, configurable). The slider voltage is then measured relative to the supply voltage and output in %. Technical, the measurement is similar to a strain gauge half bridge.
Potentiometers from 1 k can be used.

2) A regular offset adjustment with connected potentiometer is recommended. The given offset specification of the terminal is therefore practically irrelevant. Therefore, specification values with and without offset are given here. In practice, the offset component can be eliminated by the terminal functions Tare and also ZeroOffset or in the controller by a higher-level tare function. The offset deviation over time can change, therefore Beckhoff recommends a regular offset adjustment or careful observation of the change.

3) Values related to a common mode interference between SGND and internal ground.

Potentiometer measurement range

Fig. 102: Representation potentiometer measurement range
Note: In Extended Range Mode the Underrange/Overrange display in the PDO status has the character of an information/warning when the nominal measuring range is exceeded, i.e. no Error is displayed in the PDO status and LED. If the technical measuring range is also exceeded, Error = TRUE is also displayed. The detection limit for Underrange/Overrange Error can be set in the CoE. In Legacy Range mode, an Underrange/Overrange event also leads to an Error in the PDO status.

3.11.2.7 Measurement SG 1/1 bridge (full bridge) 4/6-wire connection
To determine the measuring error:
The nominal/technical measuring range is specified in "mV/V"; the maximum permitted supply voltage is 5 V. The maximum nominal measuring range that can be used for the bridge voltage is therefore ±32 mV/V * 5 V = ±160 mV; the internal circuits are configured accordingly.
The internal measurement is ratiometric, i.e. the feed voltage and the bridge voltage are not measured absolutely, but as a ratio.
The integrated supply can be used as power supply. An external supply is permitted, as long as 5 V is not exceeded.
The following is the specification given for the 6 wire connection. External line resistances are compensated by the 6 wire connection and the full bridge is detected directly from the measuring channel.
In the 4 wire connection, the terminal generally has the same specification, but its view of the connected full bridge is clouded by the unclear and temperature-dependent lead resistances within cables and connectors. In this respect, the overall system "full bridge + leads + measurement channel" will practically not achieve specification values given below. The lead resistances (cables, connectors, ...) have an effect especially on the gain error, also depending on the temperature.
The gain error can be estimated by (R+uv (1+ T* TCCu) + R-uv(1+T* TCCu) )/Rnom with TCCu~3930 ppm/K, Rnom e.g. 350  and R+uv or R-uv lead resistances respectively.
NOTE Increase measurement accuracy: switcheable shunt
By a user-side adjustment with plugged signal connection, the measurement accuracy can be further increased. The ELM350x and ELM370x terminals also have a shunt resistor which can be switched from their CoE directory (0x80n0:08 [} 312]).
The use of the measurement channel in the 6 wire connection is recommended, especially when significant resistors such as a lightning arrester are put into the line.
Note: specifications apply for 5 V SG excitation and symmetric 350R SG.

3.11.2.8 Measurement SG 1/2 bridge (half bridge) 3/5-wire connection

To determine the measuring error:
The nominal/technical measuring range is specified in "mV/V"; the maximum permitted supply voltage is 5 V. The maximum nominal measuring range that can be used for the bridge voltage is therefore ±16 mV/V * 5V = ±80 mV; the internal circuits are designed for the 160 mV of the full bridge measurement.
The internal measurement is ratiometric, i.e. the feed voltage and the bridge voltage are not measured absolutely, but as a ratio.
The integrated supply can be used as power supply. An external supply is permitted, as long as 5 V is not exceeded.
The following is the specification given for the 5 wire connection. External line resistances are compensated by the 5 wire connection and the half-bridge is detected directly from the measuring channel.
In the 3 wire connection, the terminal generally has the same specification, but its view of the connected halfbridge is clouded by the unclear and temperature-dependent lead resistances within cables and connectors. In this respect, the overall system "half-bridge + leads + measurement channel" will practically not achieve specification values given below. The lead resistances (cables, connectors, ...) have an effect especially on the gain error, also depending on the temperature.
The gain error can be estimated by (R+uv (1+ T* TCCu) + R-uv(1+T* TCCu) )/Rnom with TCCu~3930 ppm/K, Rnom e.g. 350  and R+uv or R-uv lead resistances respectively.
The use of the measurement channel in the 5 wire connection is recommended.

Validity of property values
The resistor of the bridge is positioned parallel to the internal resistor of the terminal and leads to an offset shifting respectively. The Beckhoff factory calibration will be carried out with the half bridge 350 , thus the values specified above are directly valid for the 350  half bridge. By connection of another dimensioned half-bridge is to: · perform a balancing (offset correction) by the terminal itself or the control/PLC on application
side · or the abstract offset error have to be entered into the balancing parameter S0 of the terminal.
Example: a 350  half bridge correlates by the compensated effect of the input resistor (2 M) during factory calibration 0.26545 %FSV (16 mV/V), that corresponds to 20738 digits.
Half bridge calculation:

R3/4 are the internal switchable input resistors of the terminal. Other configurations (e.g. R1/4 or R1/3 variable) of half bridges are not supported.
The strain relationship (µStrain, µ) is as follows:

N should be chosen based on the mechanical configuration of the variable resistors (Poisson, 2 active uniaxial, ...). The channel value (PDO) is interpreted directly [mV/V]:

3.11.2.9 Measurement SG 1/4 bridge (quarter-bridge) 2/3-wire connection
Notes
· In practice, quarter-bridge measurement is not recommended in 2-wire mode. Common copper supply lines with inherent resistance (e.g. approx. 17 m/m with 1 mm² stranded wire) and very high temperature sensitivity (approx. 4000 ppm/K, approx. 0.4%/K) have a significant influence on the calculation, which can only be corrected through continuous offset and gain adjustment. Only 3-wire operation should be used.
· Specifications apply to 5 V strain gauge excitation. · Specifications only apply when using ferrules and for cross-sections of 0.5 mm² or more. For smaller
cross-sections, increased transition resistance is to be expected. · Avoid repeated insertion/extraction of the push-in connectors in quarter-bridge operation, since this
may increase the contact resistance · Integrated power supply: 1...5 V adjustable, max. supply/excitation 21 mA (internal electronic overload
protection)

2) In real bridge measurement, an offset adjustment is usually carried out after installation. The given offset specification of the terminal is therefore practically irrelevant. Therefore, specification values with and without offset are given here. In practice, the offset component can be eliminated by the terminal functions Tare and also ZeroOffset or in the controller by a higher-level tare function. The offset deviation of a bridge measurement over time can change, therefore Beckhoff recommends a regular offset adjustment or careful observation of the change.

3) Values refer to common-mode interference between SGND and internal GND.

4) The offset specification does not apply to 2-wire operation, since the offset is increased on the device side. Offset adjustment is recommended, see Tare or Zero offset function.

5) The channel measures electrically to 8 mV/V, but displays its measured value scaled to 2 or 4 mV/V. The Compensated function facilitates measurement of low levels even with high offset.

NOTE
Transition resistances of the terminal contacts
The transition resistance values of the terminal contacts affect the measurement. The measuring accuracy can be further increased by a user-side adjustment with the signal connection plugged in.

The temperature sensitivity of the terminal and thus of the measurement setup can be reduced if an external, more temperature-stable supplementary resistor is used for terminal operation in half-bridge or even fullbridge mode instead of the internal supplementary resistor for quarter-bridge mode.
To calculate the quarter-bridge:

Product overview

3.11.2.10.1 IEPE high pass properties
For optional regulation of the IEPE bias voltage, the ELM370x has an adjustable 1 st order high-pass filter.
For an explanation of the terms AC and DC, refer to the chapter "Analog notes  dynamic signals" [} 616].
The input channels can be operated in principle in the operation mode AC coupling or DC coupling, see chapter "IEPE AC Coupling":
· AC coupling: the arbitrary input signal is fed via a high-pass filter, after which only the corresponding alternating component (AC) remains for the digital processing inside the terminal.
· DC coupling: the arbitrary input signal is digitally processed "as it is", irrespective of whether or not it has an alternating component (AC).
DC restriction
Only AC coupling is possible in the three measuring ranges "IEPE ±10 V" (97), "IEPE ±5 V" (98) and "IEPE ±2.5 V" (99). If voltages with a DCcomponent (offset) are to be measured, the voltage measuring ranges "U ±10 V" (2), "U ±5 V" (3) and "U ±2.5 V" (4) must be used instead. The respective measuring range index number is given in the brackets.
The typical frequency behavior in the measuring range 2.5 V is as follows:

Product overview

Note: if other dynamic filter properties are desired, you can proceed as follows: · Operate the ELM370x terminal in the measuring range "0..20 V" · Deactivate IEPE AC coupling in the respective channel

· The channel now measures with 23 bits + sign over 20 V, i.e. including the bias voltage, which is normally 10..16 V. With the implementation of a high-pass on the user side by means of TwinCAT programming (inside the PLC), the bias component (DC component) is now consequently to be suppressed on the controller side. The now reduced signal resolution of the measuring range ±2.5 V with 24 bits to 20 V with 23 bits must be considered. In return for that, the user obtains full digital control over the measuring behavior in the lower frequency range.

*) For IEPE measurement applies: The input voltage must not fall below -5 V with respect to GND, the measuring accuracy is then no longer given. This means a measurement down to -10 V with respect to GND is only possible if at the same time an offset of at least +5 V is applied, as is usual with IEPE supply.

Note: The channel also works in electrically bipolar mode and records negative values in the unipolar measuring ranges (measurement from 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA, 0 ). This enables the channel to provide a precise diagnosis even with signals < 0. In these measuring ranges the limit value for the "Underrange Error" in Extended Mode is -1% of the full scale value (FSV). The limit value can be set in CoE object 0x80n0:32 [} 312]. This avoids irritating error messages if the channel is not wired (e.g. without sensor) or the electrical signal fluctuates slightly around zero. The process data value of 0x00000000 is not undershot.
If the "UnderrangeError" detection is to be set even less sensitive, the magnitude of the negative limit value in the CoE object referred to above can be set even higher.

Product overview

3.11.2.11.1 TC measurement with Beckhoff terminals
Thermocouple specification and conversion
Temperature measurement with thermocouples generally comprises three steps: · Measuring the electrical voltage, · optional: Temperature measurement of the internal cold junction, · optional: Software-based conversion of the voltage into a temperature value according to the set thermocouple type (K, J, ...).
All three steps can take place locally in the Beckhoff measuring device. Device-based transformation can be disabled if the conversion is to take place in the higher-level control system. Depending on the device type, several thermocouple conversions are available, which differ in terms of their software implementation.
For Beckhoff thermocouple measuring devices this means that · a specification of the electrical voltage measurement is provided and · based on this, the effect on temperature measurement is specified depending on the supported thermocouple type. Note that thermocouple characteristic curves are always realized as higher-order equations or by a sampling points table in the software, therefore a direct, linear U  T transfer only makes sense in a narrow range.
Data for the sensor types in the following table
The values for the sensor types listed in the following table are shown here merely for informative purposes as an orientation aid. All data are given without guarantee and must be cross-checked against the data sheet for the respective sensor employed.
The thermocouple measurement consists of a chain of measuring and computing elements that affect the attainable measurement deviation:

The given voltage specification is decisive for the achievable temperature measuring accuracy. It is applied to the possible thermocouple types in the following.
On account of
· the strong non-linearity that exists with thermocouple, which suggests a meaningful use of a thermocouple in a limited temperature range (if possible)
· influence of the possibly used internal cold junction · the possible use of an external cold junction, the specification of which is not known at this point, and · the influence of the ambient temperature on the analog input device used in the voltage and cold
junction measurement (leads to a change in Tmeasured due to Tambient)
detailed temperature specification tables are not given below, but rather

Product overview
 indicating the electrical measuring range used in the voltage measurement
 indicating the entire technically usable measuring range supported by the device. This is also the linearization range of the temperature transformation, usually the application range of the respective thermocouple specified in the standards. Note: the electrical measuring range is designed to cover the entire linearization range. The entire temperature measuring range can therefore be used
 with specification of the measuring range recommended by Beckhoff for this type. It is a subset of the technically usable measuring range and covers the measuring range commonly used in industry in which a relatively good measurement uncertainty is achieved. Since thermocouples have a non-linear characteristic curve across the entire implemented linearization range as shown in the chapter on thermocouple principles, the specification of measurement uncertainty over this entire range as the so-called basic accuracy would be unrealistic and even misleading. A much better uncertainty is achieved in the temperature range commonly used in industry. Nevertheless, it is of course possible to use the device outside of the "recommended measuring range" (but within the "technically usable measuring range")
 with the specified measurement uncertainty in the "recommended measuring range" at an ambient temperature of 23 °C and 55 °C, where the measurement uncertainty at 55 °C corresponds to the value for 23 °C ±32 °C. Thus, the measurement uncertainty at other ambient temperatures in the recommended measuring range can be approximately interpolated or extrapolated. The values can also be taken from the specification plot. Attention when determining the TC [K/Kamb] (temperature coefficient): the specified values do not necessarily have to be available for the same Tsens! To determine TC, read the measurement uncertainty values from the plot at Tsens and calculate TC.
· the "Specification Plot": a comprehensive specification statement as a graphical representation of the measurement uncertainty for Tsens at the two aforementioned ambient temperatures and additionally 39 °C in the entire technically usable measuring range. The representation of the measurement uncertainty at 39 °C ambient temperatures (mean temperature between 23 °C and 55 °C) shows the non-linear influence of the temperature on the measurement uncertainty. If accuracy values outside of the "recommended measuring range" are required, they can thus be read graphically here.
· some formulas to calculate further parameters (offset/gain/non-linearity/repeatability/nois) from the specification at the desired operation point if required
Notes on the calculation of detailed specifications
If further specifications are of interest, they can or must be calculated from the values given in the voltage specification.
The sequence:
· General: The conversion is explained here only for one measuring point (a certain input signal); the steps simply have to be repeated in case of several measuring points (up to the entire measuring range).
· The determination of the entire temperature error at a measuring point results from two steps
 Determination of the temperature error from the error of the voltage measurement
 Determination of the error by the cold junction measurement at the temperature of the measuring point
 Note: Due to the non-linearity of the thermocouples, it is not possible to easily add the temperature errors
· If the measured voltage is not known at the measured temperature measuring point, the measured value (MV) must be determined in [mV]: MW = RMeasuring point (TMeasuring ) point with the help of an UT table
· The deviation is calculated at this voltage value
 Via the total equation

 or a single value, e.g. FSingle = 15 ppmFSV

282

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Product overview
 the measurement uncertainty in [mV] must be calculated: F (U voltage measuring ) point =FTotal(Umeasuring ) point *FSV or: F (U voltage measuring ) point =FSingle(Umeasuring ) point *FSV or (if already known) e.g.: F (U voltage measuring ) point =0.003 mV
 Also, for the calculation of the cold junction error required for further calculations, the entire error must be calculated using the above equation.
· The slope at the point used must then be determined: UproK(Tmeasuring ) point = [U(Tmeasuring point + 1 °C) - U(Tmeasuring point )] / 1 °C with the help of an UT table
· The cold junction error is given as a temperature in °C. The temperature error must then be converted into a voltage error in [mV] via the slope at the temperature measuring point: F (T ) CJC, U measuring point =FCJC, T * UproK(Tmeasuring ) point
· The combined error in [mV] must then be calculated using a square addition of the voltage error and the cold junction error:
·  For calibrated thermocouples, the thermocouple error can also be included at this point in order to determine the combined error of the entire system in [mV]. For this purpose, all three error influences in [mV] (voltage, cold junction, thermocouple) must be added squarely.
· The temperature measurement uncertainty can be calculated via the voltage measurement uncertainty and the slope F (U Temp measuring ) point = (F (T )) voltage+CJC measuring point / (UproK(Tmeasuring point))
The numerical values used in the following three examples are for illustration purposes. The specification values given in the technical data remain authoritative.

3.11.2.11.2 Specification of the thermocouple measurement
The following tables with the TC specification apply only when using the internal cold junction. In the ELM370x, each channel has its own cold junction sensor. The ELM370x can also be used with an external cold junction if required. The uncertainties must then be determined for the external cold junction on the application side. The temperature value of the external cold junction must then be communicated to the ELM370x via the process data for its own calculation. The effect on the TC measurement must then be calculated on the system side. Thermal stabilization The specification values for the measurement of the cold junction given here apply only if the following times are adhered to for thermal stabilization at constant ambient temperature

Product overview
For a constant TC measurement, thermally stable environmental conditions around the ELM terminal are important. Air movements around the terminal with a possibly varying air temperature must be avoided. If these are unavoidable, the separately available ZS91000003 shielding hood should be used for thermal shielding. The following specification was created without a shielding hood in a quiet environment.

Fig. 109: ZS9100-0003 shielding hood
Wire cross-section
Depending on the temperature gradient, the TC wire supplies heat to the ELM connector or removes heat from it. Even under thermally constant conditions, this leads to an offset deviation. If very accurate measurement is required, this can have a disruptive effect. The above values apply to a wire thickness of 0.2 mm (0.0314 mm²). For thicker wires up to 0.4 mm, up to 0.5 °C measurement uncertainty can additional arise, see the following sample measurement series:

Data type UINT32

"Saturation" means that the measuring range of the ADC of the channel is fully utilized, the ADC thus outputs its maximum value and the measured value can no longer be used. "Saturation" is therefore a prederegistration, with further signal increase it comes to "overload".

The saturation state is not fundamentally harmful, but it indicates an insufficient dimensioning of the measurement channel.

Its accumulated response time is displayed here informatively.

"Saturation" means that the measuring range of the ADC of the channel is fully utilized, the ADC thus outputs its maximum value and the measured value can no longer be used. "Saturation" is therefore a prederegistration, with further signal increase it comes to "overload".

The saturation state is not fundamentally harmful, but it indicates an insufficient dimensioning of the measurement channel.

Its accumulated response time is displayed here informatively.

90n2:07 Overtemperature Time of exceeded temperature of the UINT32 Time (Channel) channel

90n2:11 Vendor Calibration Counter

Counter of the vendor calibration

UINT16

(related to the selected interface)

The counter counts +1 when data has

changed and the memory code word is

written. Depending on the adjustment

method, the counter may therefore

count several times.

90n2:06 Saturation Time Absolute time during saturation

Data type UINT32

"Saturation" means that the measuring range of the ADC of the channel is fully utilized, the ADC thus outputs its maximum value and the measured value can no longer be used. "Saturation" is therefore a prederegistration, with further signal increase it comes to "overload".

The saturation state is not fundamentally harmful, but it indicates an insufficient dimensioning of the measurement channel.

Its accumulated response time is displayed here informatively.

Meaning Temperature of the channel Minimal temperature of the channel Maximal temperature of the channel Absolute time during overload

Data type REAL32 REAL32 REAL32 UINT32

"Overload" means that the channel is electrically overloaded. This is a nonrecommendable condition that may eventually lead to atypical aging or even damage. This condition should be avoided.

Its accumulated duration is displayed here informatively.
90n2:06 Saturation Time Absolute time during saturation

UINT32

"Saturation" means that the measuring range of the ADC of the channel is fully utilized, the ADC thus outputs its maximum value and the measured value can no longer be used. "Saturation" is therefore a prederegistration, with further signal increase it comes to "overload".

The saturation state is not fundamentally harmful, but it indicates an insufficient dimensioning of the measurement channel.

Its accumulated response time is displayed here informatively.

Data type REAL32 REAL32 REAL32 UINT32

"Overload" means that the channel is electrically overloaded. This is a nonrecommendable condition that may eventually lead to atypical aging or even damage. This condition should be avoided.

Its accumulated duration is displayed here informatively.
90n2:06 Saturation Time Absolute time during saturation

UINT32

"Saturation" means that the measuring range of the ADC of the channel is fully utilized, the ADC thus outputs its maximum value and the measured value can no longer be used. "Saturation" is therefore a prederegistration, with further signal increase it comes to "overload".

The saturation state is not fundamentally harmful, but it indicates an insufficient dimensioning of the measurement channel.

Its accumulated response time is displayed here informatively.

"Overload" means that the channel is electrically overloaded. This is a nonrecommendable condition that may eventually lead to atypical aging or even damage. This condition should be avoided.

Its accumulated duration is displayed here informatively.
90n2:06 Saturation Time Absolute time during saturation

UINT32

"Saturation" means that the measuring range of the ADC of the channel is fully utilized, the ADC thus outputs its maximum value and the measured value can no longer be used. "Saturation" is therefore a prederegistration, with further signal increase it comes to "overload".

The saturation state is not fundamentally harmful, but it indicates an insufficient dimensioning of the measurement channel.

Its accumulated response time is displayed here informatively.

"Overload" means that the channel is electrically overloaded. This is a nonrecommendable condition that may eventually lead to atypical aging or even damage. This condition should be avoided.

Its accumulated duration is displayed here informatively.
90n2:06 Saturation Time Absolute time during saturation

UINT32

"Saturation" means that the measuring range of the ADC of the channel is fully utilized, the ADC thus outputs its maximum value and the measured value can no longer be used. "Saturation" is therefore a prederegistration, with further signal increase it comes to "overload".

The saturation state is not fundamentally harmful, but it indicates an insufficient dimensioning of the measurement channel.

Its accumulated response time is displayed here informatively.

· Checking NetId: the "EtherCAT" tab of the EtherCAT device shows the configured NetId:
. The first 4 numbers have to be identical with the project NetId of the target system. The project NetId can be viewed within the TwinCAT environment above, where a pull down menu can be opened to choose a target system (by clicking right in the text field). The number blocks are placed in brackets there next to each computer name of a target system. · Modify the NetId: By right clicking on "EtherCAT device" within the solution explorer a context menu opens where "Change NetId..." have to be selected. The first four numbers of the NetId of the target computer have to be entered; the both last values are 4.1 usually. Example:
 NetId of project: myComputer (123.45.67.89.1.1)  Entry via ,,Change NetId...": 123.45.67.89.4.1

4.3.1 Sample program 1 and 2 (offset/gain)
Download TwinCAT 3 project:
https://infosys.beckhoff.com/content/1033/elm3xxx/Resources/zip/2152667403.zip
Program description / function: · Calculation of an Offset correction value on the basis of the amplitudes of an AC input voltage (with corresponding DC component) until a deviation of the offset smaller than "wOFFSET_MIN_VAL_REF" (in digits) is achieved. · Calculation of a Gain correction value by presetting via "nPRESET_MAX_VAL" (in digits).
The configuration of the minimum permitted input frequency, the order of the Gain and Offset calculations, and the direct writing to the CoE directory ("PAI Scaler Settings" object) can be done in this sample program (see Variable declaration).
The following procedure is foreseen:
1. Configuration of "bWriteToCoEEnable" = TRUE, i.e. on completion of the calculation of the correction values, they are written to the CoE object "PAI Scaler Settings".

2. Set the terminal to "Extended Range" (0) via the object "PAI Settings Ch. 1" 0x8000:2E in the CoE directory.
3. Connect a periodic signal (triangle, sine, square, ...) to the terminal within the selected voltage/current range via the PAI Settings object 0x8000:01 (Interface).
4. Start the program by setting "bEnable" to "TRUE".
5. The end of the execution is recognizable by the variables "bScaleGainDone" and "bScaleOffsetDone", which are then both TRUE.
6. If writing is enabled in the CoE ("bWriteToCoEEnable" = TRUE), the values determined should have been written to the object "PAI Scaler Settings" in the CoE directory (see variable "bError").
7. The terminal can now be set to "Linear" (1) via the object "PAI Settings Ch. 1" 0x8000:2E in the CoE directory. As a result, the terminal also performs the correction calculation internally (see: "nScaledSampleVal").

Comments:
Alternatively, the TC3 Analytics Library (TF3510) can be used instead of the function block "FB_GET_MIN_MAX". The function block "FB_ALY_MinMaxAvg_1Ch" can also be used for the determination of the min./max. values. The total calculation can then also be modified in this program by using the mean value provided by this function block.
In the case of the ELM350x and ELM370x terminals, the "PAI Scaler Settings" object is 0x80n6, in addition to which the nOffset and nGain variables can also be directly written without the type conversion (REAL to DINT); scaling of the amplitude correction values with 65536 is also no longer necessary.

Program description / function:
Inclusion of LookUp table interpolation values from a terminal input signal to a field variable (and optional subsequent transfer of the LookUp table interpolation values via CoE access to the terminal using sample program 3).
It is envisaged to use a ramp generator with a trigger input, whose level, in conjunction with an input of a digital input terminal (e.g. EL1002) sets the variable "bStartRecord" to TRUE via a link (e.g. push button connected to +24 V). This allows recording of the values to be synchronized with the ramp input voltage. Alternatively, an output terminal can be used (e.g. EL2002), whose output controls the trigger input and whose output is then set to TRUE via the TwinCAT development environment ("bStartRecord" would then have to be declared as AT%Q* and linked to a terminal output).

4.3.5 Sample program 6 (interlacing of measured values)
Program description / function
In some use cases a particularly fine temporal resolution of the signal is desired, e.g. so that many measuring points are available for an FFT. Two ways to do this are shown below:
· Use of an analog input terminal with the correspondingly high sampling rate, e.g. 20 ksps. · Use of two analog input terminals with half the sampling rate, i.e. 10 ksps, and so-called interlacing of
measured values; the result is likewise a 20 ksps sampling of the signal.
The second way is described in this sample: Use of two EL3751 EtherCAT Terminals, each with a maximum sampling rate of 10 kSps (and thus a conversion time of 100 µs in this case, cf. chapter "Temporal aspects of the analog/digital conversion" [} 604]). Due to their parallel connection, both terminals are fed the same signal simultaneously and are configured by Distributed Clocks in such a way that they sample not at the same time, but offset by half the conversion time (in this case: 50 µs). If the two measured data streams are now combined alternately in the controller, i.e. "interlaced", the result is a net measured data stream of 20 ksps.

The sample is also available with corresponding adaptations for other EL3xxx/ELM3xxx terminals or boxes. There may then be different oversampling factors, shift times, etc. The optionally existing task with 50 µs in sample 6a may then also not be usable.
So that the input values can be successively combined to form a total value, a corresponding shift time is necessary for each channel/terminal; in this sample 50 µs for the second terminal. This is set in the "Advanced settings" for Distributed Clocks ("DC" tab) for the second terminal:

Some notes and restrictions
· This principle can be implemented with two (as described above) or more terminals; the limit is the shift time fineness of 1 µs.
· The terminals used must support Distributed Clocks. Oversampling is helpful, but not necessary. The sampling methods simultaneous vs. multiplex must be considered; see corresponding documentation with the question: "when the channels sample their values in relation to Distributed Clocks".
· Although this approach doubles the sampling rate of the signal under observation, the frequency response and attenuation specified in the technical data for the terminal still apply! It is therefore not possible to read signals that are twice as fast with twice the sampling rate. Sample: the EL3751 with a sampling rate of 10 ksps can meaningfully (alias-free) read signals up to half the sampling rate = 5 kHz. This limit remains even with multiple parallel sampling! The attenuation of -3 dB at 3 kHz given as an example also applies to the interlaced sum signal.
· Only one EtherCAT terminal can be functionally time-shifted as a whole by Distributed Clocks shift time, not the individual channel of a terminal. The shift then affects all the channels of a terminal. Therefore, for the given principle, two or more terminals/boxes must always be used; the interlacing of two channels of the same terminal/box is not possible.
· The specified measurement uncertainty must be observed: the unavoidably different real measurement uncertainty and thus the amplitude difference between the two terminals or their channels used on the same signal can become visible as a noise component after interlacing. Therefore, terminals should be used for this principle that exhibit a much smaller measurement uncertainty than is necessary for the application. It is expressly recommended to carry out an explicit user calibration of at least the offset of the two electrically interconnected channels in order to minimize this effect.
· Terminals with the same HW/FW version should be used.

Sample program
This setting, like the base time and the task cycle time, is already configured in the sample program:

In the following section, the simplest form of input value interlacing in Structured Text is initially shown with oversampling = 1 for each input value: each of two elements of a field variable receives a value from a terminal. The variable can be used for further processing and is shown here in the TwinCAT ScopeView. In the EL3751 the programming instructions are assigned to a 100 µs task:

4.3.6 Sample program 7 (general decimation in the PLC)
The EL3751 or ELM3xxx can only decimate their basic sampling rate fmax by integer multiples, see chapter "Decimation". To realize any other sampling rates (ftarget < fmax) for a channel, you can proceed as follows, for example:
· Operate the terminal/channel at the maximum sampling rate and transfer the data to the controller (PLC) via EtherCAT/oversampling

434

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Commissioning
· In the PLC/C++, on the time axis, convert to the desired sampling rate, e.g. by linear interpolation based on the timestamp for each input value (sample). Since the EL3751/ELM3xxx units provide timeequidistant samples based on distributed clocks, this is easily possible. For example, a sinusoidal signal decimated with 50/44.1 = 1/0.882 can be represented as follows:

 Green: corresponds to original analog signal (input), approx. 432 Hz
 Blue (O): corresponds to sampling of the EL3751/ELM3xxx with fmax of 10,000 sps; a sampling interval of 100 µs
 Red (X): corresponds to signal converted by PLC to 8820 sps (factor 0.882) and thus a time interval of approx. 113.37.. µs
· Note: The term "decimation" is applied both to the calculation in the terminal (see chapter "Decimation") and to the conversion in the PLC program. The following refers to the conversion in the PLC.
· Since the time interval of the desired sampling after decimation in the PLC is usually no longer an integer (finite) number, value/time pairs are used for representation in the PLC/Scope, i.e. an X time value is assigned to each Y value. Such value/time pairs can easily be displayed with TwinCAT ScopeView in XY mode. See also infosys.beckhoff.com: TwinCAT3  TExxxx | TC3 Engineering  TE13xx | TC3 ScopeView  Configuration  XYGraph
· The conversion also has consequences for further processing in PLC/C/ADS:
 A PLC/EtherCAT/TwinCAT system tends to be set up such that a constant number of samples is processed per cycle. Usually this is now no longer the case: a different number of samples has to be processed from cycle to cycle (specified by the program variable nResultNoOfSamples).
 While a time stamp per signal value has so far remained relatively insignificant, the method of conversion of the decimation process used here, however, means that the respective timestamp per signal value must be taken into account in an elementary manner.
· The non-constant number of samples is not visible in the TwinCAT XY Scope because some values are sporadically drawn twice, and this should be taken into account; it may be advisable to use an intermediate buffer for further processing.
· For orientation of the currently valid number of samples per task cycle, the program provides the variable nResultNoOfSamples. It indicates which values in the array variable contain valid values in a task cycle (indicates the field number - 1).

The following sample program, which also contains the XY representation in the TwinCAT Scope, serves as a guide. Due to the above-mentioned problem relating to the non-constant number of valid samples, the program returns the array pair aVarDecResult_TS and aVarDecResult for the Scope with the same number of elements as for the input value aSamples_1 (value = nOVS). If there are fewer values in a task run, the last value is simply entered repeatedly (similar to "sample & hold"). The ScopeView was configured as follows for the recording:

For an illustrative representation, the ScopeView recording was started first and then the program, which limits the decimated values to one second:
IF nOVS_CycleCount = 1000000000 THEN ; bEnable := FALSE;// Stop after 1s just for recording
ELSE ...
This line can, of course, be commented out for further adjustments:
//bEnable := FALSE;// Stop after 1s just for recording
Notes: · the target sampling rate ftarget should be close to the sample rate fmax, so that it is possible to evaluate a time interval between two decimated values. The desired decimation may require further parameters such as task cycle time, oversampling factor etc. to be adjusted both in the configuration and as variable initialization in the sample program (see figure "Process of variable decimation of the sample program", which illustrates the functionality of the program code). · Basically, the conversion process in this sample program causes distortions in the result in relation to the original signal shape when decimating with fractional rational factors (see signal curve). In concrete terms, deviations from the original signal curve only occur in those sections where the time derivative value (the slope) is not constant. For example, input values of a sine signal in the non-linear sections are distorted by the interpolation performed in the program:
In the frequency spectrum, for example by a calculation with 20 Hz sinus signal, sampled with 500 sps and decimated to 441 sps, this is illustrated as follows:

· If no low-pass filtering corresponding to ftarget is performed on the data stream, aliasing effects will occur! It is therefore advisable to perform low-pass filtering in the PLC, e.g. with the TC3 Controller Toolbox or the TC3 Filter Library, before the conversion/decimation is performed. Suitable filters can easily be created with the TE1310 FilterDesigner. For more information, see www.beckhoff.com:

Automation  TwinCAT 3  TE1xxx | TC3 Engineering  TE1310 | TC3 Filter Designer Alternatively, the filters available in the EL3751/ELM3xxx can, of course, be set to the suitable lowpass frequency; the TwinCAT Filter Designer is also helpful for this. · Entries of decimation factors within the program (nDecimationValue) should have a value > 1. The program code supports down sampling only.
E.g.: If a terminal such as ELM3602-0002 (2-channel IEPE evaluation) provides a data stream with oversampling of 50 ksps at 100 µs cycle time, this sample code can decimate to 44.1 ksps. In the sample program, the cycle ticks in the task configuration should be changed from 5 to 1 and the corresponding program variable nTaskCycle_ns from 500000 to 100000. See the following image section of ScopeView XY:

Fig. 118: Decimation from 20 µs (left) to 22.675.. µs (right) with ELM3602

The decimation factor is given by entering the value "50/44.1" for nDecimationValue in the sample. If this sample is used for the EL3751 with 500 µs cycle time and 5x oversampling, the sampling interval of 100 µs, which originates from the EL3751, is converted to approx. 113.378.. µs. This sample is designed accordingly. The decimation in the program is freely selectable and must be configured with an oversampling factor and a task cycle time. The variable nOVS must contain the same oversampling factor as set in the process data configuration.

General information

The time at which the EtherCAT frames are passed to the terminal is subject to fluctuations, referred to as EtherCAT frame jitter. If these fluctuations are large in relation to the cycle time, it is possible that data is fetched late from the terminal, and dropouts/duplications may occur in the scope display. Such effects can be diagnosed with TwinCAT EtherCAT diagnostics. In the sample program for the ELM3602, the variable nEqualTimeStampsCnt is available for this kind of verification. The variable is incremented if such a failure occurs. It can be remedied by changing the DC ShiftTime of the terminal; see the EtherCAT system documentation.

In some applications it can be of interest to measure a value with very fine resolution in a small range, but still detect high deflections. If it is an AC/DC signal that has to be resolved around 0, the following approach can be used: Two inputs of an ELM terminal are electrically connected to simultaneously measure the signal, but with different measuring ranges.

Fig. 119: Principle of combining two measuring channels with FSV1 and FSV2
The dynamic range of a typical 24-bit voltage or current measurement range with the absolute PDO end value of 223 (bit 24 is sign) is 20  log(223)  138.5 dB (without consideration of measurement uncertainties). Now it is possible to connect two (or more) inputs of a measuring system of the same measurement type with different measurement range end values (FSV1, FSV2, FSVn) in parallel to increase the dynamic range. The measured input value is then logged with two measuring ranges FSV1 and FSV2 through combination of two inputs. If FSV2 < FSV1 is selected and thus a lower resolution of FSV2 than FSV1, the low resolution of FSV2 is available if the magnitude of the measured input value is <= FSV2, and the measured input value can also be acquired for the larger range up to <= FSV1.
Note: The general definition is used to calculate the dynamic range:
Dynamic range = largest measured value / smallest unit
For output in dB accordingly with 20  log(FSV / ResolutionFSV). In this sample, using a combination of FSV1 and FSV2, the calculation is as follows:
Dynamic range = 20  log(FSV1 / ResolutionFSV2).

The following applies to the (preset) extended range of both channels (without taking any measurement uncertainties into account):
If the dynamic range for the ± 5 V measuring range is approx. 20 · log (5.368 / 6.4E-7)  138.47 dB, the combination of two channels of the terminal can be used to increase the dynamic range to approx. 20 × log (5.368 / 1.024E-8)  174.39 dB (with the limitation of a coarser resolution in the range of approx. ± 85.9 mV to ± 5.37 V).
Please note that under these conditions the terminal always displays errors via the error LED and the error bit and outputs error messages to the TwinCAT environment due to regularly occurring overflow of a measuring channel.
4.3.9 Sample program 10 (reading and writing TEDS data)
Program description / function
This sample program illustrates how to read/write the data of a separate TEDS module (TEDS = Transducer Electronic Data Sheet). Such TEDS modules are available on the market for retrofitting sensors or actuators, in order to identify the device after installation or to read out specific data (calibration, manufacturer etc.). The device used in this example was an HBM TEDS 1-TEDS-BOARD-L, version 2018.
This sample program is expressly intended as a feasibility demonstration. Specifically, there is no claim to interoperability with any other TEDS modules. It is the responsibility of users to transfer the methods formulated here to their own implementations.
This demonstration does not cover TEDS modules that are integrated in the sensor and communicate on the sensor lines. This is common for IEPE (vibration) or strain gauges/measuring bridges. It is possible to connect an IEPE sensor equipped with TEDS to Beckhoff ELM3602/ELM3604 terminals.
The following configuration is required:
[EK1100] + [EL2262] + [EL9505] + [EL1262-0050] + EL9011
The configuration can control 2 TEDS modules. Only single-channel operation is shown in the example.

Notes on the program (visualization)
First the URN has to be read (A). Only then are further functions available.
The program determines the URN for each bit by reinitializing the module, since the terminal for the input causes a time offset that is too large (see "Bit repeat count" at the top right).
Data can be written either by entering hexadecimal values (B) or a text string (ASCII) (C); hexadecimal values must be separated by spaces in the text field. Which of the two inputs is to be used for writing can be specified with the checkbox "Write ASCII data" (E):

Fig. 124: Visualization of the sample program for TEDS with EL1262-0050 and EL2262
The basic function after the identified URN is (D) reading (READ MEM) and writing (WRITE MEM) TEDS data. By issuing such a command, the associated command statement is generated in the text field (H) and can also be changed and then executed with "Execute command". Via +/- the TEDS address or page can be changed (F). Both the start address and "page" can be entered directly for read / write accesses.
The hexadecimal data (B) of text field #1 to #4 each represent 32 bytes of the total read/write buffer size of 128 bytes, as configured in the sample program. If the checkbox "Complete read size" (G) is unchecked, only text field #1 will be used for writing usually (except the module supports page sizes > 32 byte). Accordingly, only the first characters of the ASCII data text will be written. In any case, the number of bytes as a page of the TEDS module is configured will be used. Note, that the module usually supports write access to addresses of a multiple value of the page size only. For example, assuming a page size of 32 bytes and the address 234 is input, an error 0x35 `writing fail' will occur by a WRITE MEM command; but if address 352 is used, this is valid and there is no error).
Selection of "Include application register" provides whether the application register shall be written or read additionally (G).

Simplified linking via structure variable This example program takes the opportunity to describe a TwinCAT function that simplifies the linking of complex PDO structures. This function block would have to be linked to all real time variables of the terminal: inputs and outputs; here e.g. for the ELM3602:

This time-consuming process can be simplified and accelerated by structuring in TwinCAT 3. Therefore, in this chapter two alternative variants in TwinCAT 3.1 are presented, as with a few clicks a structure can be defined in the PLC which corresponds to the process image of the terminal.

The respective variant of the function block FB_REALTIME_DIAGNOSIS is included in the two example programs. It contains variables with an application-specific data type. This is a structure created by TwinCAT 3. Because the structure generated by TwinCAT directly maps the PDO structure of the terminal, it is not necessary that a suitable structure must be elaborately created or individual variables must be linked to individual data types. Only a link at a higher level (Status, Samples, Control, ...) is required.
This and all configurations are already included in the respective example program: · Example program (variant A ­ using the "Plc" tab of the terminal): https://infosys.beckhoff.com/content/1033/elm3xxx/Resources/zip/7161530379.zip · Example program (variant B ­ using of "Create SM/PDO Variables" by the advanced settings of the terminal): https://infosys.beckhoff.com/content/1033/elm3xxx/Resources/zip/7161533067.zip
Variant A, "Plc" tab:
In general, the generation of this special PDO data type is activated via the PLC settings of the terminal (tab "Plc"): there the check box "Create PLC Data Type" is set ("Copy" then transfers this character string to the clipboard):

The setting "Per Channel" can be set if not for all but for one only the structure shall be created.

The address assignments for inputs (%ATI*) and outputs (%ATQ*) are already within this generated structure. Inputs and outputs are therefore summarized in this structure.

4.3.12 Sample program 13 (R/W signature of calibration)
The terminal features an advanced calibration mechanism to store, among other things, an individual signature with 256 bytes, which results from the calibration data. In this way the customer could provide a calibration with a specific signature, e.g. to detect unauthorized internal manipulation of the calibration data; see also chapter "Calibration/Adjustment/Synchronization (vendor and user)".
The function block described below can be used as a basis for an implementation in TwinCAT on a PLC. To simplify matters, only a CRC16 was used in this sample to serve a "signature" limited to two bytes. At a commented point in the FB implementation, another signature algorithm can be implemented, which can be up to 256 bytes long.
The sample function block is included in the TwinCAT 3 archive, which is available for download together with a visualization:

Explanatory notes for the visualization "Calibration_Signature_RW"

The input variables of the ADS address and the "InputToggle" must be linked again if another terminal (than ELM3602) is used for the sample. This must be entered in the field after starting the sample program. Alternatively, it can be entered before the start as initialization of the input variable "sTerminalTypeIn" of the function block "FB_VisuUpdate":

sTerminalTypeIn

After the program start
The function block "FB_CalibrationSignature" is called in read mode by the visualization when channel +/- or interface +/- or "read" is actuated and in write mode when "write" is actuated. If, after reading, the calculated and the read signature match, bCmpResult becomes TRUE (no inequality). After a write access the entry remains in the read CoE and can be checked by reading (a write access does not change the state of bCmpResult).

Fig. 129: Visualization of the sample implementation: Calibration signature
The variable bError (visualization representation: "R/W Error") provides information about a general error that has occurred when accessing the terminal as well as the failure to find stored terminal information (either the entry in the GVL is missing or the terminal is not present).

For initialization the "Net Id" and "Port No." must be transferred to the variable "tAmsNetIdArr" of the FB instance. In addition, the CoE object for reading the calibration counter must be transferred via 'stCoEPAIInfoDataCalCnt', since this is different for the ELM3xxx and EL3751 terminals.

A call is made with "bEnable := TRUE" for activation and with specification of the interface number (nIfSlectCoE) that applies to the terminal to be addressed, the channel (nChSelectCoE) and for reading the stored signature "eOption := E_CALSIG_OPTIONS.get" or for writing "eOption := E_CALSIG_OPTIONS.set".

Then the function block is called until the output variable "bDone" is TRUE.

The outputs anSigDataOutCalc, anSigDataOutCoE, nInterfaceUserCalCnt and bCmpResult will provide content according to the selected option and the calculated/stored terminal data.

To attempt to clear an error that has occurred in the case of "bError" = TRUE, the FB can be called with "bInit := FALSE" (e.g. if the channel number or the interface number has been corrected according to the addressed terminal). The "nErrorId" can be used for evaluation.

In the function block, the signature calculation can be changed/extended at the following point:

General Notes - EtherCAT Slave Application

This summary briefly deals with a number of aspects of EtherCAT Slave operation under TwinCAT. More detailed information on this may be found in the corresponding sections of, for instance, the EtherCAT System Documentation.

Diagnosis in real time: WorkingCounter, EtherCAT State and Status
Generally speaking an EtherCAT Slave provides a variety of diagnostic information that can be used by the controlling task.
This diagnostic information relates to differing levels of communication. It therefore has a variety of sources, and is also updated at various times.
Any application that relies on I/O data from a fieldbus being correct and up to date must make diagnostic access to the corresponding underlying layers. EtherCAT and the TwinCAT System Manager offer comprehensive diagnostic elements of this kind. Those diagnostic elements that are helpful to the controlling task for diagnosis that is accurate for the current cycle when in operation (not during commissioning) are discussed below.

Fig. 130: Selection of the diagnostic information of an EtherCAT Slave

In general, an EtherCAT Slave offers
· communication diagnosis typical for a slave (diagnosis of successful participation in the exchange of process data, and correct operating mode) This diagnosis is the same for all slaves.

as well as · function diagnosis typical for a channel (device-dependent)
See the corresponding device documentation

Meaning
Information variables for the EtherCAT Master that are updated acyclically. This means that it is possible that in any particular cycle they do not represent the latest possible status. It is therefore useful to read such variables through ADS.

Fig. Basic EtherCAT Slave Diagnosis in the PLC shows an example of an implementation of basic EtherCAT Slave Diagnosis. A Beckhoff EL3102 (2-channel analogue input terminal) is used here, as it offers both the communication diagnosis typical of a slave and the functional diagnosis that is specific to a channel. Structures are created as input variables in the PLC, each corresponding to the process image.

Changes may, in some circumstances, have to be made here when commissioning a relatively complex EtherCAT Slave. It can be accessed through the TwinCAT System Manager, see Fig. EL3102, CoE directory:

The comprehensive description in the EtherCAT System Documentation (EtherCAT Basics --> CoE Interface) must be observed!

EL terminals (except the EL66xx) are able to save in this way. · The user must manage the changes to the StartUp list. Commissioning aid in the TwinCAT System Manager Commissioning interfaces are being introduced as part of an ongoing process for EL/EP EtherCAT devices.

Although the "Process Data", "DC", "Startup" and "CoE-Online" that used to be necessary for this are still displayed, it is recommended that, if the commissioning aid is used, the automatically generated settings are not changed by it.
The commissioning tool does not cover every possible application of an EL/EP device. If the available setting options are not adequate, the user can make the DC, PDO and CoE settings manually, as in the past.
EtherCAT State: automatic default behaviour of the TwinCAT System Manager and manual operation
After the operating power is switched on, an EtherCAT Slave must go through the following statuses · INIT · PREOP · SAFEOP · OP
to ensure sound operation. The EtherCAT Master directs these statuses in accordance with the initialization routines that are defined for commissioning the device by the ES/XML and user settings (Distributed Clocks (DC), PDO, CoE). See also the section on "Principles of Communication, EtherCAT State Machine [} 528]" in this connection. Depending how much configuration has to be done, and on the overall communication, booting can take up to a few seconds.
The EtherCAT Master itself must go through these routines when starting, until it has reached at least the OP target state.
The target state wanted by the user, and which is brought about automatically at start-up by TwinCAT, can be set in the System Manager. As soon as TwinCAT reaches the status RUN, the TwinCAT EtherCAT Master will approach the target states.

· for diagnostic reasons · to induce a controlled restart of axes · because a change in the times involved in starting is desirable In that case it is appropriate in the PLC application to use the PLC function blocks from the TcEtherCAT.lib, which is available as standard, and to work through the states in a controlled manner using, for instance, FB_EcSetMasterState. It is then useful to put the settings in the EtherCAT Master to INIT for master and slave.

Fig. 136: PLC function blocks
Note regarding E-Bus current
EL/ES terminals are placed on the DIN rail at a coupler on the terminal strand. A Bus Coupler can supply the EL terminals added to it with the E-bus system voltage of 5 V; a coupler is thereby loadable up to 2 A as a rule. Information on how much current each EL terminal requires from the E-bus supply is available online and in the catalogue. If the added terminals require more current than the coupler can supply, then power feed terminals (e.g. EL9410) must be inserted at appropriate places in the terminal strand.
The pre-calculated theoretical maximum E-Bus current is displayed in the TwinCAT System Manager as a column value. A shortfall is marked by a negative total amount and an exclamation mark; a power feed terminal is to be placed before such a position.

Startup TwinCAT basically uses two user interfaces: the TwinCAT System Manager for communication with the electromechanical components and TwinCAT PLC Control for the development and compilation of a controller. The starting point is the TwinCAT System Manager. After successful installation of the TwinCAT system on the PC to be used for development, the TwinCAT 2 System Manager displays the following user interface after startup:

Note on the type of variable assignment
The following type of variable assignment can only be used from TwinCAT version V3.1.4024.4 onwards and is only available for terminals with a microcontroller. In TwinCAT it is possible to create a structure from the mapped process data of a terminal. An instance of this structure can then be created in the PLC, so it is possible to access the process data directly from the PLC without having to declare own variables. The procedure for the EL3001 1-channel analog input terminal -10...+10 V is shown as an example. 1. First the required process data must be selected in the "Process data" tab in TwinCAT. 2. After that, the PLC data type must be generated in the tab "PLC" via the check box. 3. The data type in the "Data Type" field can then be copied using the "Copy" button.

IP address of the port used
IP address/DHCP
In most cases an Ethernet port that is configured as an EtherCAT device will not transport general IP packets. For this reason and in cases where an EL6601 or similar devices are used it is useful to specify a fixed IP address for this port via the "Internet Protocol TCP/IP" driver setting and to disable DHCP. In this way the delay associated with the DHCP client for the Ethernet port assigning itself a default IP address in the absence of a DHCP server is avoided. A suitable address space is 192.168.x.x, for example.

6.3.2 Notes regarding ESI device description
Installation of the latest ESI device description The TwinCAT EtherCAT master/System Manager needs the device description files for the devices to be used in order to generate the configuration in online or offline mode. The device descriptions are contained in the so-called ESI files (EtherCAT Slave Information) in XML format. These files can be requested from the respective manufacturer and are made available for download. An *.xml file may contain several device descriptions.
The ESI files for Beckhoff EtherCAT devices are available on the Beckhoff website. The ESI files should be stored in the TwinCAT installation directory. Default settings:
· TwinCAT 2: C:\TwinCAT\IO\EtherCAT · TwinCAT 3: C:\TwinCAT\3.1\Config\Io\EtherCAT The files are read (once) when a new System Manager window is opened, if they have changed since the last time the System Manager window was opened. A TwinCAT installation includes the set of Beckhoff ESI files that was current at the time when the TwinCAT build was created. For TwinCAT 2.11/TwinCAT 3 and higher, the ESI directory can be updated from the System Manager, if the programming PC is connected to the Internet; by · TwinCAT 2: Option  "Update EtherCAT Device Descriptions" · TwinCAT 3: TwinCAT  EtherCAT Devices  "Update Device Descriptions (via ETG Website)..." The TwinCAT ESI Updater [} 496] is available for this purpose.
ESI
The *.xml files are associated with *.xsd files, which describe the structure of the ESI XML files. To update the ESI device descriptions, both file types should therefore be updated.
Device differentiation EtherCAT devices/slaves are distinguished by four properties, which determine the full device identifier. For example, the device identifier EL2521-0025-1018 consists of:
· family key "EL" · name "2521" · type "0025" · and revision "1018"
Fig. 189: Identifier structure
The order identifier consisting of name + type (here: EL2521-0010) describes the device function. The revision indicates the technical progress and is managed by Beckhoff. In principle, a device with a higher revision can replace a device with a lower revision, unless specified otherwise, e.g. in the documentation. Each revision has its own ESI description. See further notes [} 9].

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Commissioning on EtherCAT Master
Online description
If the EtherCAT configuration is created online through scanning of real devices (see section Online setup) and no ESI descriptions are available for a slave (specified by name and revision) that was found, the System Manager asks whether the description stored in the device should be used. In any case, the System Manager needs this information for setting up the cyclic and acyclic communication with the slave correctly.

Fig. 190: OnlineDescription information window (TwinCAT 2) In TwinCAT 3 a similar window appears, which also offers the Web update:

Fig. 191: Information window OnlineDescription (TwinCAT 3)
If possible, the Yes is to be rejected and the required ESI is to be requested from the device manufacturer. After installation of the XML/XSD file the configuration process should be repeated.
NOTE Changing the "usual" configuration through a scan
ü If a scan discovers a device that is not yet known to TwinCAT, distinction has to be made between two cases. Taking the example here of the EL2521-0000 in the revision 1019
a) no ESI is present for the EL2521-0000 device at all, either for the revision 1019 or for an older revision. The ESI must then be requested from the manufacturer (in this case Beckhoff).
b) an ESI is present for the EL2521-0000 device, but only in an older revision, e.g. 1018 or 1017. In this case an in-house check should first be performed to determine whether the spare parts stock allows the integration of the increased revision into the configuration at all. A new/higher revision usually also brings along new features. If these are not to be used, work can continue without reservations with the previous revision 1018 in the configuration. This is also stated by the Beckhoff compatibility rule.
Refer in particular to the chapter "General notes on the use of Beckhoff EtherCAT IO components" and for manual configuration to the chapter "Offline configuration creation [} 497]".
If the OnlineDescription is used regardless, the System Manager reads a copy of the device description from the EEPROM in the EtherCAT slave. In complex slaves the size of the EEPROM may not be sufficient for the complete ESI, in which case the ESI would be incomplete in the configurator. Therefore it's recommended using an offline ESI file with priority in such a case.
The System Manager creates for online recorded device descriptions a new file "OnlineDescription0000...xml" in its ESI directory, which contains all ESI descriptions that were read online.

Fig. 193: Indication of an online recorded ESI of EL2521 as an example
If such ESI files are used and the manufacturer's files become available later, the file OnlineDescription.xml should be deleted as follows:
· close all System Manager windows · restart TwinCAT in Config mode · delete "OnlineDescription0000...xml" · restart TwinCAT System Manager This file should not be visible after this procedure, if necessary press <F5> to update

6.3.3 TwinCAT ESI Updater

Fig. 196: Using the ESI Updater (TwinCAT 3)
The ESI Updater (TwinCAT 3) is a convenient option for automatic downloading of ESI data provided by EtherCAT manufacturers via the Internet into the TwinCAT directory (ESI = EtherCAT slave information). TwinCAT accesses the central ESI ULR directory list stored at ETG; the entries can then be viewed in the Updater dialog, although they cannot be changed there.
The call up takes place under: "TwinCAT"  "EtherCAT Devices"  "Update Device Description (via ETG Website)...".

6.3.4 Distinction between Online and Offline
The distinction between online and offline refers to the presence of the actual I/O environment (drives, terminals, EJ-modules). If the configuration is to be prepared in advance of the system configuration as a programming system, e.g. on a laptop, this is only possible in "Offline configuration" mode. In this case all components have to be entered manually in the configuration, e.g. based on the electrical design.
If the designed control system is already connected to the EtherCAT system and all components are energised and the infrastructure is ready for operation, the TwinCAT configuration can simply be generated through "scanning" from the runtime system. This is referred to as online configuration.
In any case, during each startup the EtherCAT master checks whether the slaves it finds match the configuration. This test can be parameterised in the extended slave settings. Refer to note "Installation of the latest ESI-XML device description" [} 492].
For preparation of a configuration: · the real EtherCAT hardware (devices, couplers, drives) must be present and installed · the devices/modules must be connected via EtherCAT cables or in the terminal/ module strand in the same way as they are intended to be used later

Device selection based on revision, compatibility
The ESI description also defines the process image, the communication type between master and slave/device and the device functions, if applicable. The physical device (firmware, if available) has to support the communication queries/settings of the master. This is backward compatible, i.e. newer devices (higher revision) should be supported if the EtherCAT master addresses them as an older revision. The following compatibility rule of thumb is to be assumed for Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminals/ Boxes/ EJ-modules: device revision in the system >= device revision in the configuration This also enables subsequent replacement of devices without changing the configuration (different specifications are possible for drives).
Example If an EL2521-0025-1018 is specified in the configuration, an EL2521-0025-1018 or higher (-1019, -1020) can be used in practice.

If current ESI descriptions are available in the TwinCAT system, the last revision offered in the selection dialog matches the Beckhoff state of production. It is recommended to use the last device revision when creating a new configuration, if current Beckhoff devices are used in the real application. Older revisions should only be used if older devices from stock are to be used in the application. In this case the process image of the device is shown in the configuration tree and can be parameterized as follows: linking with the task, CoE/DC settings, plug-in definition, startup settings, ...

Via respective checkboxes devices can be selected (as illustrated in Fig. "Detected Ethernet devices" e.g. Device 3 and Device 4 were chosen). After confirmation with "OK" a device scan is suggested for all selected devices, see Fig.: "Scan query after automatic creation of an EtherCAT device".
Selecting the Ethernet port
Ethernet ports can only be selected for EtherCAT devices for which the TwinCAT real-time driver is installed. This has to be done separately for each port. Please refer to the respective installation page [} 487].
Detecting/Scanning the EtherCAT devices
Online scan functionality
During a scan the master queries the identity information of the EtherCAT slaves from the slave EEPROM. The name and revision are used for determining the type. The respective devices are located in the stored ESI data and integrated in the configuration tree in the default state defined there.

Fig. 211: Example default state
NOTE Slave scanning in practice in series machine production
The scanning function should be used with care. It is a practical and fast tool for creating an initial configuration as a basis for commissioning. In series machine production or reproduction of the plant, however, the function should no longer be used for the creation of the configuration, but if necessary for comparison [} 507] with the defined initial configuration.Background: since Beckhoff occasionally increases the revision version of the delivered products for product maintenance reasons, a configuration can be created by such a scan which (with an identical machine construction) is identical according to the device list; however, the respective device revision may differ from the initial configuration.
Example:
Company A builds the prototype of a machine B, which is to be produced in series later on. To do this the prototype is built, a scan of the IO devices is performed in TwinCAT and the initial configuration "B.tsm" is created. The EL2521-0025 EtherCAT terminal with the revision 1018 is located somewhere. It is thus built into the TwinCAT configuration in this way:

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

503

Commissioning on EtherCAT Master
Fig. 212: Installing EthetCAT terminal with revision -1018
Likewise, during the prototype test phase, the functions and properties of this terminal are tested by the programmers/commissioning engineers and used if necessary, i.e. addressed from the PLC "B.pro" or the NC. (the same applies correspondingly to the TwinCAT 3 solution files). The prototype development is now completed and series production of machine B starts, for which Beckhoff continues to supply the EL2521-0025-0018. If the commissioning engineers of the series machine production department always carry out a scan, a B configuration with the identical contents results again for each machine. Likewise, A might create spare parts stores worldwide for the coming series-produced machines with EL2521-0025-1018 terminals. After some time Beckhoff extends the EL2521-0025 by a new feature C. Therefore the FW is changed, outwardly recognizable by a higher FW version and a new revision -1019. Nevertheless the new device naturally supports functions and interfaces of the predecessor version(s); an adaptation of "B.tsm" or even "B.pro" is therefore unnecessary. The series-produced machines can continue to be built with "B.tsm" and "B.pro"; it makes sense to perform a comparative scan [} 507] against the initial configuration "B.tsm" in order to check the built machine. However, if the series machine production department now doesn't use "B.tsm", but instead carries out a scan to create the productive configuration, the revision -1019 is automatically detected and built into the configuration:
Fig. 213: Detection of EtherCAT terminal with revision -1019
This is usually not noticed by the commissioning engineers. TwinCAT cannot signal anything either, since virtually a new configuration is created. According to the compatibility rule, however, this means that no EL2521-0025-1018 should be built into this machine as a spare part (even if this nevertheless works in the vast majority of cases). In addition, it could be the case that, due to the development accompanying production in company A, the new feature C of the EL2521-0025-1019 (for example, an improved analog filter or an additional process data for the diagnosis) is discovered and used without in-house consultation. The previous stock of spare part devices are then no longer to be used for the new configuration "B2.tsm" created in this way. Þ if series machine production is established, the scan should only be performed for informative purposes for comparison with a defined initial configuration. Changes are to be made with care! If an EtherCAT device was created in the configuration (manually or through a scan), the I/O field can be scanned for devices/slaves.

Explanation
· This EtherCAT slave is not present on the other side.
· It is present, but in a different revision, which also differs in its properties from the one specified. The compatibility principle then also applies here: if the found revision is higher than the configured revision, use is possible provided compatibility issues are taken into account, since the successor devices should support the functions of the predecessor devices. If the found revision is lower than the configured revision, it is likely that the slave cannot be used. The found device may not support all functions that the master expects based on the higher revision number.

Device selection based on revision, compatibility
The ESI description also defines the process image, the communication type between master and slave/device and the device functions, if applicable. The physical device (firmware, if available) has to support the communication queries/settings of the master. This is backward compatible, i.e. newer devices (higher revision) should be supported if the EtherCAT master addresses them as an older revision. The following compatibility rule of thumb is to be assumed for Beckhoff EtherCAT Terminals/ Boxes/ EJ-modules:
device revision in the system >= device revision in the configuration
This also enables subsequent replacement of devices without changing the configuration (different specifications are possible for drives).

Example
If an EL2521-0025-1018 is specified in the configuration, an EL2521-0025-1018 or higher (-1019, -1020) can be used in practice.

Fig. 224: Name/revision of the terminal
If current ESI descriptions are available in the TwinCAT system, the last revision offered in the selection dialog matches the Beckhoff state of production. It is recommended to use the last device revision when creating a new configuration, if current Beckhoff devices are used in the real application. Older revisions should only be used if older devices from stock are to be used in the application.

Fig. 231: "Process Data" tab
The process data (PDOs) transferred by an EtherCAT slave during each cycle are user data which the application expects to be updated cyclically or which are sent to the slave. To this end the EtherCAT master (Beckhoff TwinCAT) parameterizes each EtherCAT slave during the start-up phase to define which process data (size in bits/bytes, source location, transmission type) it wants to transfer to or from this slave. Incorrect configuration can prevent successful start-up of the slave.
For Beckhoff EtherCAT EL, ES, EM, EJ and EP slaves the following applies in general:
· The input/output process data supported by the device are defined by the manufacturer in the ESI/XML description. The TwinCAT EtherCAT Master uses the ESI description to configure the slave correctly.
· The process data can be modified in the System Manager. See the device documentation. Examples of modifications include: mask out a channel, displaying additional cyclic information, 16-bit display instead of 8-bit data size, etc.
· In so-called "intelligent" EtherCAT devices the process data information is also stored in the CoE directory. Any changes in the CoE directory that lead to different PDO settings prevent successful startup of the slave. It is not advisable to deviate from the designated process data, because the device firmware (if available) is adapted to these PDO combinations.
If the device documentation allows modification of process data, proceed as follows (see Figure Configuring the process data).
· A: select the device to configure
· B: in the "Process Data" tab select Input or Output under SyncManager (C)
· D: the PDOs can be selected or deselected

According to the ESI description, a PDO can be identified as "fixed" with the flag "F" in the PDO overview (Fig. Configuring the process data, J). The configuration of such PDOs cannot be changed, even if TwinCAT offers the associated dialog ("Edit"). In particular, CoE content cannot be displayed as cyclic process data. This generally also applies in cases where a device supports download of the PDO configuration, "G". In case of incorrect configuration the EtherCAT slave usually refuses to start and change to OP state. The System Manager displays an "invalid SM cfg" logger message: This error message ("invalid SM IN cfg" or "invalid SM OUT cfg") also indicates the reason for the failed start.

6.3.7.1 Detailed description of Process Data tab

Sync Manager
Lists the configuration of the Sync Manager (SM). If the EtherCAT device has a mailbox, SM0 is used for the mailbox output (MbxOut) and SM1 for the mailbox input (MbxIn). SM2 is used for the output process data (outputs) and SM3 (inputs) for the input process data.
If an input is selected, the corresponding PDO assignment is displayed in the PDO Assignment list below.

PDO Assignment
PDO assignment of the selected Sync Manager. All PDOs defined for this Sync Manager type are listed here:
· If the output Sync Manager (outputs) is selected in the Sync Manager list, all RxPDOs are displayed. · If the input Sync Manager (inputs) is selected in the Sync Manager list, all TxPDOs are displayed.
The selected entries are the PDOs involved in the process data transfer. In the tree diagram of the System Manager these PDOs are displayed as variables of the EtherCAT device. The name of the variable is identical to the Name parameter of the PDO, as displayed in the PDO list. If an entry in the PDO assignment list is deactivated (not selected and greyed out), this indicates that the input is excluded from the PDO assignment. In order to be able to select a greyed out PDO, the currently selected PDO has to be deselected first.
Activation of PDO assignment
ü If you have changed the PDO assignment, in order to activate the new PDO assignment, a) the EtherCAT slave has to run through the PS status transition cycle (from pre-operational to
safe-operational) once (see Online tab [} 516]), b) and the System Manager has to reload the EtherCAT slaves

6.3.8 Import/Export of EtherCAT devices with SCI and XTI
SCI and XTI Export/Import ­ Handling of user-defined modified EtherCAT slaves
6.3.8.1 Basic principles
An EtherCAT slave is basically parameterized through the following elements: · Cyclic process data (PDO) · Synchronization (Distributed Clocks, FreeRun, SM-Synchron) · CoE parameters (acyclic object dictionary)
Note: Not all three elements may be present, depending on the slave.
For a better understanding of the export/import function, let's consider the usual procedure for IO configuration:
· The user/programmer processes the IO configuration in the TwinCAT system environment. This involves all input/output devices such as drives that are connected to the fieldbuses used. Note: In the following sections, only EtherCAT configurations in the TwinCAT system environment are considered.
· For example, the user manually adds devices to a configuration or performs a scan on the online system.
· This results in the IO system configuration. · On insertion, the slave appears in the system configuration in the default configuration provided by the
vendor, consisting of default PDO, default synchronization method and CoE StartUp parameter as defined in the ESI (XML device description). · If necessary, elements of the slave configuration can be changed, e.g. the PDO configuration or the synchronization method, based on the respective device documentation.
It may become necessary to reuse the modified slave in other projects in this way, without having to make equivalent configuration changes to the slave again. To accomplish this, proceed as follows:
· Export the slave configuration from the project, · Store and transport as a file, · Import into another EtherCAT project.
TwinCAT offers two methods for this purpose: · within the TwinCAT environment: Export/Import as xti file or · outside, i.e. beyond the TwinCAT limits: Export/Import as sci file.

EtherCAT basics

Please refer to the EtherCAT System Documentation for the EtherCAT fieldbus basics.

6.5

EtherCAT cabling ­ wire-bound

The cable length between two EtherCAT devices must not exceed 100 m. This results from the FastEthernet technology, which, above all for reasons of signal attenuation over the length of the cable, allows a maximum link length of 5 + 90 + 5 m if cables with appropriate properties are used. See also the Design recommendations for the infrastructure for EtherCAT/Ethernet.

Cables and connectors

For connecting EtherCAT devices only Ethernet connections (cables + plugs) that meet the requirements of at least category 5 (CAt5) according to EN 50173 or ISO/IEC 11801 should be used. EtherCAT uses 4 wires for signal transfer.

EtherCAT uses RJ45 plug connectors, for example. The pin assignment is compatible with the Ethernet standard (ISO/IEC 8802-3).

Due to automatic cable detection (auto-crossing) symmetric (1:1) or cross-over cables can be used between EtherCAT devices from Beckhoff.
Recommended cables
It is recommended to use the appropriate Beckhoff components e.g. - cable sets ZK1090-9191-xxxx respectively - RJ45 connector, field assembly ZS1090-0005 - EtherCAT cable, field assembly ZB9010, ZB9020
Suitable cables for the connection of EtherCAT devices can be found on the Beckhoff website!

E-Bus supply
A bus coupler can supply the EL terminals added to it with the E-bus system voltage of 5 V; a coupler is thereby loadable up to 2 A as a rule (see details in respective device documentation). Information on how much current each EL terminal requires from the E-bus supply is available online and in the catalogue. If the added terminals require more current than the coupler can supply, then power feed terminals (e.g. EL9410) must be inserted at appropriate places in the terminal strand.
The pre-calculated theoretical maximum E-Bus current is displayed in the TwinCAT System Manager. A shortfall is marked by a negative total amount and an exclamation mark; a power feed terminal is to be placed before such a position.

General notes for setting the watchdog

ELxxxx terminals are equipped with a safety feature (watchdog) that switches off the outputs after a specifiable time e.g. in the event of an interruption of the process data traffic, depending on the device and settings, e.g. in OFF state.
The EtherCAT slave controller (ESC) in the EL2xxx terminals features two watchdogs:
· SM watchdog (default: 100 ms) · PDI watchdog (default: 100 ms)

SM watchdog (SyncManager Watchdog)
The SyncManager watchdog is reset after each successful EtherCAT process data communication with the terminal. If no EtherCAT process data communication takes place with the terminal for longer than the set and activated SM watchdog time, e.g. in the event of a line interruption, the watchdog is triggered and the outputs are set to FALSE. The OP state of the terminal is unaffected. The watchdog is only reset after a successful EtherCAT process data access. Set the monitoring time as described below.
The SyncManager watchdog monitors correct and timely process data communication with the ESC from the EtherCAT side.

PDI watchdog (Process Data Watchdog)
If no PDI communication with the EtherCAT slave controller (ESC) takes place for longer than the set and activated PDI watchdog time, this watchdog is triggered. PDI (Process Data Interface) is the internal interface between the ESC and local processors in the EtherCAT slave, for example. The PDI watchdog can be used to monitor this communication for failure.
The PDI watchdog monitors correct and timely process data communication with the ESC from the application side.
The settings of the SM- and PDI-watchdog must be done for each slave separately in the TwinCAT System Manager.

Notes: · the multiplier is valid for both watchdogs. · each watchdog has its own timer setting, the outcome of this in summary with the multiplier is a resulting time. · Important: the multiplier/timer setting is only loaded into the slave at the start up, if the checkbox is activated. If the checkbox is not activated, nothing is downloaded and the ESC settings remain unchanged.
Multiplier
Multiplier
Both watchdogs receive their pulses from the local terminal cycle, divided by the watchdog multiplier:
1/25 MHz * (watchdog multiplier + 2) = 100 µs (for default setting of 2498 for the multiplier)
The standard setting of 1000 for the SM watchdog corresponds to a release time of 100 ms.
The value in multiplier + 2 corresponds to the number of basic 40 ns ticks representing a watchdog tick. The multiplier can be modified in order to adjust the watchdog time over a larger range.

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

527

Commissioning on EtherCAT Master
Example "Set SM watchdog"
This checkbox enables manual setting of the watchdog times. If the outputs are set and the EtherCAT communication is interrupted, the SM watchdog is triggered after the set time and the outputs are erased. This setting can be used for adapting a terminal to a slower EtherCAT master or long cycle times. The default SM watchdog setting is 100 ms. The setting range is 0...65535. Together with a multiplier with a range of 1...65535 this covers a watchdog period between 0...~170 seconds.
Calculation
Multiplier = 2498  watchdog base time = 1 / 25 MHz * (2498 + 2) = 0.0001 seconds = 100 µs SM watchdog = 10000  10000 * 100 µs = 1 second watchdog monitoring time
CAUTION Undefined state possible!
The function for switching off of the SM watchdog via SM watchdog = 0 is only implemented in terminals from version -0016. In previous versions this operating mode should not be used.
CAUTION Damage of devices and undefined state possible!
If the SM watchdog is activated and a value of 0 is entered the watchdog switches off completely. This is the deactivation of the watchdog! Set outputs are NOT set in a safe state, if the communication is interrupted.

6.7

EtherCAT State Machine

The state of the EtherCAT slave is controlled via the EtherCAT State Machine (ESM). Depending upon the state, different functions are accessible or executable in the EtherCAT slave. Specific commands must be sent by the EtherCAT master to the device in each state, particularly during the bootup of the slave.
A distinction is made between the following states: · Init · Pre-Operational · Safe-Operational and · Operational · Boot
The regular state of each EtherCAT slave after bootup is the OP state.

ELM3xxx

Commissioning on EtherCAT Master

Fig. 240: States of the EtherCAT State Machine
Init
After switch-on the EtherCAT slave in the Init state. No mailbox or process data communication is possible. The EtherCAT master initializes sync manager channels 0 and 1 for mailbox communication.
Pre-Operational (Pre-Op)
During the transition between Init and Pre-Op the EtherCAT slave checks whether the mailbox was initialized correctly.
In Pre-Op state mailbox communication is possible, but not process data communication. The EtherCAT master initializes the sync manager channels for process data (from sync manager channel 2), the FMMU channels and, if the slave supports configurable mapping, PDO mapping or the sync manager PDO assignment. In this state the settings for the process data transfer and perhaps terminal-specific parameters that may differ from the default settings are also transferred.
Safe-Operational (Safe-Op)
During transition between Pre-Op and Safe-Op the EtherCAT slave checks whether the sync manager channels for process data communication and, if required, the distributed clocks settings are correct. Before it acknowledges the change of state, the EtherCAT slave copies current input data into the associated DPRAM areas of the EtherCAT slave controller (ECSC).
In Safe-Op state mailbox and process data communication is possible, although the slave keeps its outputs in a safe state, while the input data are updated cyclically.
Outputs in SAFEOP state
The default set watchdog [} 526] monitoring sets the outputs of the module in a safe state - depending on the settings in SAFEOP and OP - e.g. in OFF state. If this is prevented by deactivation of the watchdog monitoring in the module, the outputs can be switched or set also in the SAFEOP state.
Operational (Op)
Before the EtherCAT master switches the EtherCAT slave from Safe-Op to Op it must transfer valid output data.

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

Commissioning on EtherCAT Master
In the Op state the slave copies the output data of the masters to its outputs. Process data and mailbox communication is possible.
Boot In the Boot state the slave firmware can be updated. The Boot state can only be reached via the Init state. In the Boot state mailbox communication via the file access over EtherCAT (FoE) protocol is possible, but no other mailbox communication and no process data communication.

6.8

CoE Interface

General description
The CoE interface (CAN application protocol over EtherCAT)) is used for parameter management of EtherCAT devices. EtherCAT slaves or the EtherCAT master manage fixed (read only) or variable parameters which they require for operation, diagnostics or commissioning.
CoE parameters are arranged in a table hierarchy. In principle, the user has read access via the fieldbus. The EtherCAT master (TwinCAT System Manager) can access the local CoE lists of the slaves via EtherCAT in read or write mode, depending on the attributes.
Different CoE parameter types are possible, including string (text), integer numbers, Boolean values or larger byte fields. They can be used to describe a wide range of features. Examples of such parameters include manufacturer ID, serial number, process data settings, device name, calibration values for analog measurement or passwords.
The order is specified in two levels via hexadecimal numbering: (main)index, followed by subindex. The value ranges are
· Index: 0x0000 ...0xFFFF (0...65535dez) · SubIndex: 0x00...0xFF (0...255dez)
A parameter localized in this way is normally written as 0x8010:07, with preceding "0x" to identify the hexadecimal numerical range and a colon between index and subindex.
The relevant ranges for EtherCAT fieldbus users are:
· 0x1000: This is where fixed identity information for the device is stored, including name, manufacturer, serial number etc., plus information about the current and available process data configurations.
· 0x8000: This is where the operational and functional parameters for all channels are stored, such as filter settings or output frequency.
Other important ranges are:
· 0x4000: here are the channel parameters for some EtherCAT devices. Historically, this was the first parameter area before the 0x8000 area was introduced. EtherCAT devices that were previously equipped with parameters in 0x4000 and changed to 0x8000 support both ranges for compatibility reasons and mirror internally.
· 0x6000: Input PDOs ("input" from the perspective of the EtherCAT master) · 0x7000: Output PDOs ("output" from the perspective of the EtherCAT master)
Availability
Not every EtherCAT device must have a CoE list. Simple I/O modules without dedicated processor usually have no variable parameters and therefore no CoE list.
If a device has a CoE list, it is shown in the TwinCAT System Manager as a separate tab with a listing of the elements:

The figure above shows the CoE objects available in device "EL2502", ranging from 0x1000 to 0x1600. The subindices for 0x1018 are expanded.
Data management and function "NoCoeStorage"
Some parameters, particularly the setting parameters of the slave, are configurable and writeable. This can be done in write or read mode
· via the System Manager (Fig. "CoE Online" tab) by clicking This is useful for commissioning of the system/slaves. Click on the row of the index to be parameterized and enter a value in the "SetValue" dialog.
· from the control system/PLC via ADS, e.g. through blocks from the TcEtherCAT.lib library This is recommended for modifications while the system is running or if no System Manager or operating staff are available.
Data management
If slave CoE parameters are modified online, Beckhoff devices store any changes in a fail-safe manner in the EEPROM, i.e. the modified CoE parameters are still available after a restart. The situation may be different with other manufacturers.
An EEPROM is subject to a limited lifetime with respect to write operations. From typically 100,000 write operations onwards it can no longer be guaranteed that new (changed) data are reliably saved or are still readable. This is irrelevant for normal commissioning. However, if CoE parameters are continuously changed via ADS at machine runtime, it is quite possible for the lifetime limit to be reached. Support for the NoCoeStorage function, which suppresses the saving of changed CoE values, depends on the firmware version. Please refer to the technical data in this documentation as to whether this applies to the respective device.
· If the function is supported: the function is activated by entering the code word 0x12345678 once in CoE 0xF008 and remains active as long as the code word is not changed. After switching the device on it is then inactive. Changed CoE values are not saved in the EEPROM and can thus be changed any number of times.
· Function is not supported: continuous changing of CoE values is not permissible in view of the lifetime limit.

Version: 2.6

Commissioning on EtherCAT Master
Startup list
Changes in the local CoE list of the terminal are lost if the terminal is replaced. If a terminal is replaced with a new Beckhoff terminal, it will have the default settings. It is therefore advisable to link all changes in the CoE list of an EtherCAT slave with the Startup list of the slave, which is processed whenever the EtherCAT fieldbus is started. In this way a replacement EtherCAT slave can automatically be parameterized with the specifications of the user. If EtherCAT slaves are used which are unable to store local CoE values permanently, the Startup list must be used.
Recommended approach for manual modification of CoE parameters · Make the required change in the System Manager The values are stored locally in the EtherCAT slave · If the value is to be stored permanently, enter it in the Startup list. The order of the Startup entries is usually irrelevant.

Fig. 242: Startup list in the TwinCAT System Manager
The Startup list may already contain values that were configured by the System Manager based on the ESI specifications. Additional application-specific entries can be created.
Online/offline list
While working with the TwinCAT System Manager, a distinction has to be made whether the EtherCAT device is "available", i.e. switched on and linked via EtherCAT and therefore online, or whether a configuration is created offline without connected slaves.
In both cases a CoE list as shown in Fig. "CoE online tab" is displayed. The connectivity is shown as offline/ online.
· If the slave is offline  The offline list from the ESI file is displayed. In this case modifications are not meaningful or possible.  The configured status is shown under Identity.

Channel-based order
The CoE list is available in EtherCAT devices that usually feature several functionally equivalent channels. For example, a 4-channel analog 0...10 V input terminal also has four logical channels and therefore four identical sets of parameter data for the channels. In order to avoid having to list each channel in the documentation, the placeholder "n" tends to be used for the individual channel numbers.
In the CoE system 16 indices, each with 255 subindices, are generally sufficient for representing all channel parameters. The channel-based order is therefore arranged in 16dec/10hex steps. The parameter range 0x8000 exemplifies this:
· Channel 0: parameter range 0x8000:00 ... 0x800F:255 · Channel 1: parameter range 0x8010:00 ... 0x801F:255 · Channel 2: parameter range 0x8020:00 ... 0x802F:255 · ...
This is generally written as 0x80n0.

Notes on connection technology

Connection type: Push-in with service plug
The wires are plugged in directly; for solid wires no tools are required, i.e. after the insulation has been stripped, the wire is simply pushed into the contact point. The same principle applies for the ferrule. Free stranded wire ends can also be connected in this way; in this case the wire clamping mechanism has to be opened by operating the pushing device.
Like in standard terminals, the wires are released via the contact release device, using a screwdriver or pushing device.
The cables must not be pulled/ pushed live or under load.
For maintenance purposes, e.g. during service, the entire plug-in body can be removed from the Beckhoff terminal without releasing the individual wires. Use a screwdriver (e.g. Beckhoff ZB8700) to release the central release device and pull the cables to release the connector body.
Additionally the service plug don't have specified switching power, also it must not be pulled/ pushed live or under load, too.

The permitted conductor cross-sections and the strip length are shown in the following table.

Wire cross-section (solid wire) Wire cross-section (stranded wire) Wire cross-section (stranded) Wire cross-section (stranded wire) Current rating, permanent Conductor (AWG) Strip length

Maximum number of mating cycles: 10 The connector with connected wires can be removed by pushing the unlocking tab (red) in the direction of the arrow, e.g. with a screwdriver, thereby releasing the unlocking device.
Meticulous cleanliness must be ensured when the connector is re-inserted. Do not touch the pins in the device tray. Push in the connector until it latches audibly and the front of the plug is flush with the ELM housing.
Connection type: BNC No connector plug is provided for terminals with BNC socket (coaxial). A wide range of BNC plug connectors is available commercially. Push the connector without tilting, and lock the bayonet closure by turning it 90°. Release in reverse order. Ensure cleanliness. Note the installation instructions for connector assembly. Impedance data (50 , 75 ) are only relevant for high-frequency applications, i.e. for frequencies in the MHz range or above. Unless specified otherwise, Beckhoff Terminals therefore do not feature 50 or 75  power matching.
Connection type: LEMO No connector plug is provided for terminals with LEMO connection. LEMO offers a wide range of connectors, from which the best match can be selected for the respective cable (depending on sealing, cable diameter, housing material, angled/straight). Beckhoff currently (2020) does not offer LEMO plug connectors for resale. Follow the installation instructions provided by LEMO for connector assembly. LEMO series B connectors are self-locking in the socket, i.e. they do not have to be tightened. To release the connector, pull the housing, which automatically releases the lock.

Fig. 246: Figure: mini thermocouple plug (dimensions only as guide values) Currently (2020), Beckhoff does not offer the mini-TC plugs for resale. The color of the plug/socket indicates the type of material used. Ideally, plugs and sockets are of the same type and therefore made of the same material. The unavoidable TC cold junction then shifts into the measuring device and can be measured there optimally. Alternatively, a certain plug can be inserted into a white universal socket made of copper, which is the second-best solution. The appropriate cold junction option must be selected in the device settings.

Accessories

The following accessories are currently available for the analog input terminals of the ELM3xxx series

7.3.1 Shield connection ZS9100-0002

The shield connection is an optional component, which can be installed on the underside of the ELMxxxx housing. It has to be ordered separately.
It is used as a low-resistance earthing connection at the housing, to deal with electrical interference signals arriving via the cable screen. The fault signals are then directed to the DIN rail via the metallic ELM housing and the integrated grounding springs. For this to work, the DIN rail/control cabinet also has to have a lowresistance connection, of course.
Note: Electrical faults usually occur in the form of high-frequency signals. Therefore, it is important to not only ensure a good low-resistance connection for DC signals (continuity test with a multimeter), but also to ensure its effectiveness for high-frequency signals in the form of a low-impedance connection. This should be tested with special measuring devices, unless the general installation instructions regarding EMCcompliant control cabinet construction are observed.
The shield connection should be used as follows:
· Lever off the plastic cover from the ELM housing and retain if for later reuse, if required
· Attach the shield connection with the screw provided. Clean the contact surfaces, as appropriate. The second screw hole remains free in case a PE connection is required.

Note: the shield connection does not act as strain relief! Alternative shield connection methods for analog signal lines:
· Beckhoff shielding connection system ZB8500 https://www.beckhoff.com/zb8500/
· Separate shield connection depending on requirements
7.3.2 Shielding hood ZS9100-0003
The shielding hood is an optional component for the ELMxxxx housing series. It has to be ordered separately. It does not affect the visibility of the LED displays of the terminal.

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Housing

The shielding hood has two purposes
· Electromagnetic shielding of faults If push-in connectors are used, they represent a gateway for faults in the terminal, due to the fact that they are made of plastic. The shielding hood can be installed (either right away or retrospectively) in order to form an enclosed metallic cage around the terminal and the signal cable. Alternatively, ELMxxxx terminals with shielded plug connectors can be used (e.g. LEMO, BNC), in which case the shielding hood is not required.
· Thermal shielding for thermocouple measurements If the ELM3xxx terminal is used for measuring temperatures with thermocouples, the integrated cold junction measurement contributes significantly to the overall uncertainty. Thermal turbulence caused by air flowing past and radiant heat can lead to large temperature gradients around the plug, resulting in fluctuating temperature measurements. The shielding hood facilitates a thermally stabilized environment around the plug, which helps to increase the measuring accuracy.

Between one and four commercially available signal lines up to approx. 7 mm shield diameter (usually corresponds to approx. 9 mm outer diameter) can be connected.

NOTE Note for use under vibration load
An application of the ELM terminal with mounted shielding hood ZS9100-0003 under vibration and shock effect in the direction of DIN rail track (red arrow) is, regardless of the installation position, not allowed.

If vibration / shock inevitably occurs during operation, an installation position must be selected which does not load the ELM terminal and accordingly the shielding hood in the indicated direction of the arrow. Basically, an additional mechanical support of the shielding hood and cables respectively is recommended for vibration / shock.

Common notes to the power contacts

If the ELM terminal doesn't have own wheeling of electricity or supply of the power contacts, the terminal on its right mustn't have sticking out power contacts on the left side. They would be free accessible if the ELM terminal would be pulled out from the DIN rail.

Installation positions

NOTE
Constraints regarding installation position and operating temperature range
Please refer to the technical data for a terminal to ascertain whether any restrictions regarding the installation position and/or the operating temperature range have been specified. When installing high power dissipation terminals ensure that an adequate spacing is maintained between other components above and below the terminal in order to guarantee adequate ventilation!

Optimum installation position (standard)
The optimum installation position requires the mounting rail to be installed horizontally and the connection surfaces of the EL/KL terminals to face forward (see Fig. "Recommended distances for standard installation position"). The terminals are ventilated from below, which enables optimum cooling of the electronics through convection. "From below" is relative to the acceleration of gravity.

Mounting of Passive Terminals

Hint for mounting passive terminals
EtherCAT Bus Terminals (ELxxxx / ESxxxx), which do not take an active part in data transfer within the bus terminal block are so called Passive Terminals. The Passive Terminals have no current consumption out of the E-Bus To ensure an optimal data transfer, you must not directly string together more than 2 Passive Terminals!

Notes regarding connectors and wiring

It is in the very nature of EtherCAT I/O modules/terminals/boxes that they have two connection sides: one to the fieldbus for communication with the module, which is obligatory, the other to the signal/sensor/actuator to facilitate proper use of the module. The "outer" connection side usually features contacting options for connecting outgoing wires.
Only few I/O devices do not have a second side. Examples include the EL6070 license key terminal and the EL6090 display terminal.
Notes and suggestions for dealing with the connection options are provided below
· Manufacturer specifications/notes for connection options must be followed. Any special tools that may have been provided must be used as intended, so that gas-tightness is ensured through the crimping pressure.
· Any detachable connection system is subject to a specified maximum number of connection cycles. Each connection/disconnection operation results in wear through friction, mechanical stretching/ relaxation, possibly ingress of contaminants/gases/liquids/condensation, contact discharge, modification of the electrical properties and of the contact point (ohmic contact resistance). In other words, releasing/connecting a contact results in mechanical, chemical and therefore ultimately

550

Mounting and wiring
electrical changes. In terms of the application scenario it is therefore important to select suitable connection systems or devices with suitable connection systems:
 For connections that are more or less permanent, it may make sense to use connectors/contacts with a maximum number of mating cycles (as specified by the manufacturer) of 10 to 100 cycles. This may be the case if devices are installed/wired only once, and over the entire lifetime rewiring is only expected to become necessary during maintenance work.
 For connections that have to be detached on a regular basis, connectors/contacts with a maximum number of mating cycles of 1,000 or higher should be selected. Such connections can typically be found in laboratory environments, where the cabling may be changed several times each day but high-quality contact must nevertheless be ensured over many years.
· When handling and assembling connectors/contacts it is essential to avoid contact with hand perspiration/liquids, even for low-tech connections (open stranded wire, cage clamp/push-in). Acidic/ alkaline liquids may have a very aggressive effect on the contact surface and quickly lead to structural changes and oxidation layers. These are very disruptive for analog measurements, particularly since they undermine the reproducibility of measurements and can therefore result (if known) in large systematic measurement uncertainty. It may be possible to rectify the problem by thorough follow-up cleaning.
· The actual/expected load during operation must be taken into account when selecting connectors.
· Abnormal vibrations can lead to microfriction/corrosion and change the electrical properties, potentially resulting in complete loss of contact.
· Temperature variations affect the mechanical strength of the connection and the spring forces in metallic components.
· Exposure to gas or liquid can damage the connection, particularly if the gas or liquid penetrates to the actual contact region and is unable to escape from there.
· Of high relevance for analog measurements is the electrical quality of the connection, both in the short term during commissioning and over the service life under external influences and perhaps repeated mating cycles. This is expressed in the repeatability of the transition. The influence should be checked against the expected accuracy. Of particular relevance is the (frequency dependent) contact resistance. Effects can be:
 Increasing the contact resistance results in a voltage drop when power is transmitted, potentially leading to critical self-heating.
 The internal voltage drop can distort corresponding measurements. In order to avoid negative effects, 4/5/6-wire connections should be used in SG/resistance measurements, since non-live contacts are no longer affected by a distorting voltage drop. The popular 3-wire connection for resistance measurement (PT100, PT1000 etc.) does not provide absolute protection, since the singular line cannot be diagnosed. Current/voltage measurements in industrial environments are less sensitive to contact changes.
 A defective contact surface can lead to random resistance values, depending on the contact position and temperature. This makes reproducible measurements difficult.
· The effort for establishing the connection, including assembling the cables and connectors, generally increases with increasing transmission quality requirements. This applies to the tools, diligence and time required. Examples:
 Cage clamp/push-in connections (e.g. Beckhoff EL terminals), which are common in automation applications, can be established or released in a few seconds with or without ferrule. A screwdriver or push pin is sufficient. On the other hand, in many cases the (ohmic) repeatability is insufficient for high-precision measurements in the SG/R range.
 Some 10 minutes and costs of some 10 euros should be assumed for assembly a lab-standard LEMO/ODU connector (Beckhoff ELM3704-0001), depending on the number of poles. The result is a top-quality connection system with a high number of permissible mating cycles.
 An intermediate solution can be field-configurable M8/M12 connections. For reasons of tightness, they are more elaborate to assemble (soldering or insulation displacement contact, if necessary), although the maximum number of mating cycles is similar to maintenance connectors.
· A pre-assembled connection should be subjected to electrical/mechanical testing before commissioning: visual inspection, pull-out test, crimp height measurement, resistance measurement etc.

Shielding concept

Together with the shield busbar, the prefabricated cables from Beckhoff Automation offer optimum protection against electromagnetic interference. It is highly recommended to apply the shield as close as possible to the terminal, in order to minimize operational disturbances.

Connection of the motor cable to the shield busbar
Fasten the shield busbar supports 1 to the DIN rail 2. The mounting rail 2 must be in contact with the metallic rear wall of the control cabinet over a wide area. Install the shield busbar 3 as shown below. As an alternative, a shield busbar clamp 3a can be screwed directly to the metallic rear wall of the control cabinet (fig. "shield busbar clamp")

Connection of the feedback cable to the motor
Twisting of the feedback cable cores
The feedback cable cores should be twisted, in order to avoid operational disturbances.
When screwing the feedback plug to the motor, the shield of the feedback cable is connected via the metallic plug fastener. On the terminal side the shield can also be connected. Connect the cores of the feedback cable and attach the copper-sheathed end of the feedback cable to the shield busbar 3 or shield busbar clamp 3a with the shield clamp 7. The motor cable and the feedback cable can be connected to the shield clamp 7 with the screw 8.

8.6

Power supply, potential groups

The terminals from the ELM3xxx series have different structures depending on their function. In general, the electronics consist internally of at least 2 potential groups:
· of a communication section on the E-bus, the so-called bus side This section is directly connected to the internal 5 V supply of the E-bus. It is not directly accessible from the user side.
· of a signal section for the connection of the input/output signals, the so-called field side. As a rule, all channels of the device are contiguous in this island.
Both potential groups are always electrically isolated. The "load capacity" of the isolation must then be observed in detail, i.e. the voltage difference/potential difference in continuous operation or for a short time between the two areas.
In individual devices, the analog channels on the field side can also be electrically isolated from one another; the magnitude of the max. electrical isolation is then specified. The device then consists of several potential groups: the bus side and the n channels.
Depending on the terminal, the internal electronics are supplied with power via the E-bus, via the optional power contacts, or both. See the relevant notes about this in the respective device specification.
The plug used can also have an influence on the potential groups; if necessary, its housing is conductively connected to the terminal housing.
The external system GND (DIN rail, SGND, PE, FE) is always present and represents the reference ground.
In the following the permissible potential difference is referred to only as "Insulation"; the exact specification (value, type and, if applicable, insulating strength) can be found in the respective terminal specifications.
NOTE
Isolation between the potential groups in practice
The potential groups are theoretically electrically isolated, i.e. there are only parasitic ohmic connections in the range of M and higher that are unavoidable due to the electronics. The load capacity of the isolation with regard to voltage level and duration is specified. It results among other things from internal isolation distances and the group-spanning components used, e.g. data transmitters or transformers, and is formulated in view of the underlying standards, which describe application aspects such as aging, contamination or defined overvoltage events. From this it can be seen that, in practice, potential groups cannot to be operated arbitrarily isolated from the environment. In particular, if EMC disturbances penetrate the potential group, conducted by the external cables or radiated, then this energy seeks its way to SGND and finds it in every case undefined in the groupspanning elements mentioned above. Therefore, practice has shown that potential groups of all kinds should be purposefully and intentionally connected to one another and to SGND for interference dissipation with small capacities in the nF range, so that the HF disturbances (and these already start at 50 Hz) find a defined way and do not affect the operability. The ohmic effect of the capacitors in relation to the parasitic ohmic effects is negligible.

The following potential schemata may be specified for the ELM3xxx:

ELM/EKM terminal mounting on DIN rail

WARNING
Risk of electric shock and damage of device!
Bring the bus terminal system into a safe, powered down state before starting installation, disassembly or wiring of the bus terminals!

Assembly
The ELM terminals are locked to commercially available 35 mm mounting rails (DIN rails according to EN 60715) as following described:
· The ELM terminal can easily be latched onto the DIN rail. Therefore the clips of the terminal on top and down side have to be opened first:

Fig. 254: Opening the clips on top and down side by lifting them e.g. with a screw driver · Insert the ELM terminal to other already on the DIN rail arranged moduls together with tongue and groove and push the terminals against the mounting rail, until it clicks onto the touchdown point of the mounting rail. Then close the both clips on top and down side of the terminal respectively:

Fig. 255: Push-in of the ELM terminal and closing the mounting rail clips top and down
· During closing of the both clips there mustn't be a disruptive mechanical resistance being noticeable. The clips have to be snapped so that they're ending flat with the housing:

Attention: If the ELM terminal is clipped onto the mounting rail first and then pushed together without tongue and groove, the connection will not be operational! When correctly assembled, no significant gap should be visible between the housings.

Disassembly
Each ELM terminal is secured by a lock on the mounting rail, which must be released for disassembly. The procedure for demounting have to be done in reverse order as described in Assembly [} 558]:
1. Release the mounting rail lock of the ELM terminal on the top and down side and you can pull the terminal out of the bus terminal block easily without excessive force.
2. Grasp the released terminal with thumb and index finger simultaneous at the upper and lower grooved housing surfaces and pull the terminal out of the bus terminal block.

Connections within a bus terminal block
The electric connections between the Bus Coupler and the Bus Terminals are automatically realized by joining the components: The six spring contacts of the K-Bus/E-Bus deal with the transfer of the data and the supply of the Bus Terminal electronics.

Protective earth (PE)

The housings of the ELM/EKM series are made of die-cast zinc and are thus metallic. This results in a need for clarification regarding the use of protective earthing against the risk of electric shock.
Attention: The relevant application standards refer to the surrounding control cabinet/control box as "housing", whereas this documentation refers to the Beckhoff terminal as "housing".
See also chapter "Notes regarding analog equipment - shielding and earth" [} 607] in this documentation.

560

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Mounting and wiring

The housing offers the option of an M3 bolted connection for connecting a ring terminal to PE.
The procedure for this is as follows:
· Lever off the plastic cover from the ELM housing and retain if for later reuse, if required · Secure the previously prepared ring terminal, which was crimped to the protective conductor, using an
M3x4 screw; max. torque 0.5 Nm. Use a suitable tool. ATTENTION: The screw must not be longer than specified, in order to avoid it protruding into the interior, where it could cause damage. This would be evident if the unit is sent in for repair. · Connect the PE cable to the protective conductor system.

Notes on whether a PE connection is necessary in the specific application
· A PE connection is required if the terminal could pose a risk of electric shock due to an inadmissible contact voltage. A distinction is made between two causes:
 if the terminal is subjected to high internal voltages (not SELV/PELV), this high voltage may reach the housing in the event of a fault. For such terminals, a PE connection is essential. See the corresponding mechanical options at the module. For background information please refer to product and device standards such as EN 61010. Note: The terminals of type ELM3004, ELM3002, ELM3104, ELM3102, ELM3504, ELM3502, ELM3604, ELM3602, ELM3704, ELM3702 operate with low voltage SELV/PELV, so that there is usually no potential risk.
 A connection to the protective earth conductor system must nevertheless be provided if the terminal operates with protective extra-low voltage (SELV/PELV), but there is a risk that a live conductor may come into contact with the housing in the event of a fault, resulting in unacceptable touch voltage. This is stipulated by application standards such as EN602041 or EN614391 relating to control cabinet design.
· It is therefore always necessary to check in which environment the application is used to ascertain whether a PE connection is required.

Note on protective earth (PE) with regard to analog measurements
The protective earth conductor system is specifically designed for discharging high currents. This may result in significant high-frequency interference, which could adversely affect an analog measuring device if it is/ has to be connected to the protective conductor system. In such cases, a strictly star-shaped configuration of the FE and PE systems may be advisable, in order to have as few interference sources as possible on the

PE system that are close to the analog measuring system. Ideally, no PE connection should be used at all. However, in this case the installation must comply with the two conditions referred to above, which may necessitate splitting the system into a high-voltage and a low-voltage control cabinet, so that no PE would be required for the latter.

Connection notes for 20 mA measurement

8.9.1 Configuration of 0/4..20 mA differential inputs
This section describes the 0/4..20 mA differential inputs for terminal series EL301x, EL302x, EL311x, EL312x and terminals EL3174, EL3612, EL3742 and EL3751.
For the single-ended 20 mA inputs the terminal series EL304x, EL305x, EL314x, EL315x, EL317x, EL318x and EL375x they only apply with regard to technical transferability and also for devices whose analogue input channels have a common related ground potential (and therefore the channels are not to each other and/or not to power supply electrically isolated). Herewith an example for an electrically isolated device is the terminal EL3174-0002.
Technical background
The internal input electronics of the terminals referred to above have the following characteristic (see Fig. [} 562] Internal connection diagram for 0/4..20 mA inputs):
· Differential current measurement, i.e. concrete potential reference is primarily not required. The system limit applies is the individual terminal EL30xx/EL31xx.
· Current measurement via a 33  shunt per channel, resulting in a maximum voltage drop of 660 mV via the shunt
· Internal resistor configuration with GND point (A) central to the shunt The configuration of the resistors is symmetric, such that the potential of (A) is central relative to the voltage drop via the shunt.
· All channels within the terminal have this GNDint potential in common. · the common GNDint potential (A)
 is connected for 1 and 2 channel terminals to a terminal point and not with GNDPC (power contact).  is connected for 4 channel terminals with GNDPC · The center point of the voltage drop over the 33  shunt is referred to common mode point (CMP). According to the technical product data, the maximum permitted UCM voltage (common mode) refers to the potential between the CMP of a channel and the internal GND or the potential between the CMP of 2 channels within a terminal. It must not exceed the specified limit (typically ±10 or ±35 V).
Accordingly, for multi-channel measurements UCMspecifications must be followed.

Fig. 257: Internal connection diagram 0/4...20 mA inputs
The block diagram for a 2 channel terminal shows the linked GND points within the terminal (Fig. [} 563] Internal connection for 0/4..20 mA inputs of a EL3xx2):

562

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Mounting and wiring
Fig. 258: Internal connection diagram for 0/4..20 mA inputs of a EL3xx2 For all channels within the terminal UCM-max must not be exceeded.
UCM for 0/4..20 mA inputs
If UCM of an analog input channel is exceeded, internal equalizing currents result in erroneous measurements. For 1 and 2 channel terminals the internal GND is therefore fed out to a terminal point, so that the UCM specification can be met through application-specific configuration of this GND point, even in cases of atypical sensor configuration. Example 1 The 2-channel EL3012 is connected to 2 sensors, which are supplied with 5 and 24 V. Both current measurements are executed as low-side measurements. This connection type is permitted, because at Imax CMPch1 and CMPch2 are approx. 330 mV above 0 V, which means that UCM is always < 0.5 V. The requirement of UCM < 10 V (applicable to EL30xx) is therefore adhered to.

Fig. 259: Example 1: low-side measurement

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

563

Mounting and wiring
If the EL30x1/EL30x2 or EL31x1/EL31x2 terminals have no external GNDint connection, the GNDint potential can adjust itself as required (referred to as "floating"). Please note that for this mode reduced measuring accuracy is to be expected.
Example 1a Accordingly, this also applies if the floating point GNDINT is connected to another potential.

Fig. 260: Example 1a, high-side measurement
Example 2
The same EL3012 is now again connected with the two 20 mA sensors, although this time with one low-side measurement at 5 V and one high-side measurement at 12 V. This results in significant potential differences UCM > 10 V (applicable to EL30xx) between the two channels, which is not permitted.

Fig. 261: Example 2, high-side/low-side measurement

564

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Mounting and wiring
To rectify this, GNDint can in this case be connected externally with an auxiliary potential of 6 V relative to "0 V". The resulting A/GNDint will be in the middle, i.e. approx. 0.3 V or 11.6 V.
Example 3 In the EL3xx4 terminals GNDint is internally connected with the negative power contact. The choice of potential is therefore limited.

Fig. 262: Invalid EL3xx4 configuration
The resulting CMP is 23.6 V, i.e. >> 10 V (applicable to EL30xx). The EL30x4/EL31x4 terminals should therefore be configured such that CMP is always less than UCM,max.
Summary
This results in certain concrete specifications for external connection with 0/4..20 mA sensors:
· We recommended connecting GNDint with a low-impedance potential, because this significantly improves the measuring accuracy of the EL30xx/31xx. Please note the instructions relating to the UCM potential reference.
· The UCM potential reference must be adhered to between CMP  GNDint and CMPch(x)  CMPch(y). If this cannot be guaranteed, the single-channel version should be used.
· Terminal configuration:  EL3xx1/EL3xx2: GNDint is connected to terminal point for external connection. GNDint should be connected externally such that condition 2 is met.  EL3xx4: GND is connected with the negative power contact. The external connection should be such that condition 2 is met.
If the sensor cable is shielded, the shield should not be connected with the GNDint terminal point but with a dedicated low-impedance shield point.
· If terminal points of several EL30xx/EL31xx terminals are connected with each other, ensure that condition 2 is met.

In the EL30x1/EL30x2 and EL31x1/EL31x2 terminals the internal GND, GNDint connection is fed out to terminal contacts. To achieve a precise measurement result GNDint should be connected to a suitable external low-impedance potential, taking account the specifications for UCM.

Diagnostics ­ basic principles of diag messages

DiagMessages designates a system for the transmission of messages from the EtherCAT Slave to the EtherCAT Master/TwinCAT. The messages are stored by the device in its own CoE under 0x10F3 and can be read by the application or the System Manager. An error message referenced via a code is output for each event stored in the device (warning, error, status change).

Definition
The DiagMessages system is defined in the ETG (EtherCAT Technology Group) in the guideline ETG.1020, chapter 13 "Diagnosis handling". It is used so that pre-defined or flexible diagnostic messages can be conveyed from the EtherCAT Slave to the Master. In accordance with the ETG, the process can therefore be implemented supplier-independently. Support is optional. The firmware can store up to 250 DiagMessages in its own CoE.
Each DiagMessage consists of
· Diag Code (4-byte) · Flags (2-byte; info, warning or error) · Text ID (2-byte; reference to explanatory text from the ESI/XML) · Timestamp (8-byte, local slave time or 64-bit Distributed Clock time, if available) · Dynamic parameters added by the firmware
The DiagMessages are explained in text form in the ESI/XML file belonging to the EtherCAT device: on the basis of the Text ID contained in the DiagMessage, the corresponding plain text message can be found in the languages contained in the ESI/XML. In the case of Beckhoff products these are usually German and English.
Via the entry NewMessagesAvailable the user receives information that new messages are available.
DiagMessages can be confirmed in the device: the last/latest unconfirmed message can be confirmed by the user.
In the CoE both the control entries and the history itself can be found in the CoE object 0x10F3:

Fig. 265: DiagMessages in the CoE The subindex of the latest DiagMessage can be read under 0x10F3:02.

568

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix
Support for commissioning
The DiagMessages system is to be used above all during the commissioning of the plant. The diagnostic values e.g. in the StatusWord of the device (if available) are helpful for online diagnosis during the subsequent continuous operation.
TwinCAT System Manager implementation From TwinCAT 2.11 DiagMessages, if available, are displayed in the device's own interface. Operation (collection, confirmation) also takes place via this interface.

Fig. 266: Implementation of the DiagMessage system in the TwinCAT System Manager
The operating buttons (B) and the history read out (C) can be seen on the Diag History tab (A). The components of the message:
· Info/Warning/Error · Acknowledge flag (N = unconfirmed, Q = confirmed) · Time stamp · Text ID · Plain text message according to ESI/XML data
The meanings of the buttons are self-explanatory.
DiagMessages within the ADS Logger/Eventlogger
Since TwinCAT 3.1 build 4022 DiagMessages send by the terminal are shown by the TwinCAT ADS Logger. Given that DiagMessages are represented IO- comprehensive at one place, commissioning will be simplified. In addition, the logger output could be stored into a data file ­ hence DiagMessages are available long-term for analysis.
DiagMessages are actually only available locally in CoE 0x10F3 in the terminal and can be read out manually if required, e.g. via the DiagHistory mentioned above.
In the latest developments, the EtherCAT Terminals are set by default to report the presence of a DiagMessage as emergency via EtherCAT; the event logger can then retrieve the DiagMessage. The function is activated in the terminal via 0x10F3:05, so such terminals have the following entry in the StartUp list by default:

Fig. 267: Startup List

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

569

Appendix

If the function is to be deactivated because, for example, many messages come in or the EventLogger is not used, the StartUp entry can be deleted or set to 0.

Reading messages into the PLC - In preparation -

Interpretation

Time stamp
The time stamp is obtained from the local clock of the terminal at the time of the event. The time is usually the distributed clock time (DC) from register x910.
Please note: When EtherCAT is started, the DC time in the reference clock is set to the same time as the local IPC/TwinCAT time. From this moment the DC time may differ from the IPC time, since the IPC time is not adjusted. Significant time differences may develop after several weeks of operation without a EtherCAT restart. As a remedy, external synchronization of the DC time can be used, or a manual correction calculation can be applied, as required: The current DC time can be determined via the EtherCAT master or from register x901 of the DC slave.

Structure of the Text ID

The structure of the MessageID is not subject to any standardization and can be supplier-specifically defined. In the case of Beckhoff EtherCAT devices (EL, EP) it usually reads according to xyzz:

x
0: Systeminfo 2: reserved 1: Info 4: Warning 8: Error

y
0: System 1: General 2: Communication 3: Encoder 4: Drive 5: Inputs 6: I/O general 7: reserved

zz Error number

Example: Message 0x4413 --> Drive Warning Number 0x13

If so-called DiagMessages are generated in the IO device, they can be collected by TwinCAT over EtherCAT and displayed in the TcEventLogger with the appropriate device setting. This facilitates the central management of events that hinder operation, as a textual diagnosis no longer needs to be programmed out in the application for each individual IO device. The messages/ events can be displayed directly in the TwinCAT HMI, for example, and thus facilitate the diagnosis.
Notes: · This feature is supported from TwinCAT 3.1 build 4022.16. · TwinCAT may be in the RUN or CONFIG mode · On the manufacturer side, the IO device regarded must (1) generate local DiagMessages and (2) be fundamentally capable of transmitting them as events over EtherCAT. This is not the case with all EtherCAT IO devices/terminals/boxes from Beckhoff.
The messages managed by the EventLogger can be output in or read from · the HMI  EventGrid · C# · the PLC · TwinCAT Engineering  Logged Events
The use of the EventLogger with EtherCAT IO with TwinCAT 3.1 build 4022.22 during commissioning is explained below.

Firmware Update EL/ES/EM/ELM/EPxxxx

This section describes the device update for Beckhoff EtherCAT slaves from the EL/ES, ELM, EM, EK and EP series. A firmware update should only be carried out after consultation with Beckhoff support.
NOTE
Only use TwinCAT 3 software!
A firmware update of Beckhoff IO devices must only be performed with a TwinCAT 3 installation. It is recommended to build as up-to-date as possible, available for free download on the Beckhoff website https:// www.beckhoff.com/en-us/.
To update the firmware, TwinCAT can be operated in the so-called FreeRun mode, a paid license is not required.
The device to be updated can usually remain in the installation location, but TwinCAT has to be operated in the FreeRun. Please make sure that EtherCAT communication is trouble-free (no LostFrames etc.).
Other EtherCAT master software, such as the EtherCAT Configurator, should not be used, as they may not support the complexities of updating firmware, EEPROM and other device components.

Storage locations
An EtherCAT slave stores operating data in up to three locations:
· Depending on functionality and performance EtherCAT slaves have one or several local controllers for processing I/O data. The corresponding program is the so-called firmware in *.efw format.
· In some EtherCAT slaves the EtherCAT communication may also be integrated in these controllers. In this case the controller is usually a so-called FPGA chip with *.rbf firmware.
· In addition, each EtherCAT slave has a memory chip, a so-called ESI-EEPROM, for storing its own device description (ESI: EtherCAT Slave Information). On power-up this description is loaded and the EtherCAT communication is set up accordingly. The device description is available from the download area of the Beckhoff website at (https://www.beckhoff.com). All ESI files are accessible there as zip files.
Customers can access the data via the EtherCAT fieldbus and its communication mechanisms. Acyclic mailbox communication or register access to the ESC is used for updating or reading of these data.
The TwinCAT System Manager offers mechanisms for programming all three parts with new data, if the slave is set up for this purpose. Generally the slave does not check whether the new data are suitable, i.e. it may no longer be able to operate if the data are unsuitable.

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

581

Appendix
Simplified update by bundle firmware
The update using so-called bundle firmware is more convenient: in this case the controller firmware and the ESI description are combined in a *.efw file; during the update both the firmware and the ESI are changed in the terminal. For this to happen it is necessary
· for the firmware to be in a packed format: recognizable by the file name, which also contains the revision number, e.g. ELxxxx-xxxx_REV0016_SW01.efw
· for password=1 to be entered in the download dialog. If password=0 (default setting) only the firmware update is carried out, without an ESI update.
· for the device to support this function. The function usually cannot be retrofitted; it is a component of many new developments from year of manufacture 2016.
Following the update, its success should be verified · ESI/Revision: e.g. by means of an online scan in TwinCAT ConfigMode/FreeRun ­ this is a convenient way to determine the revision · Firmware: e.g. by looking in the online CoE of the device
NOTE Risk of damage to the device!
ü Note the following when downloading new device files a) Firmware downloads to an EtherCAT device must not be interrupted b) Flawless EtherCAT communication must be ensured. CRC errors or LostFrames must be avoided. c) The power supply must adequately dimensioned. The signal level must meet the specification. ð In the event of malfunctions during the update process the EtherCAT device may become unusable and
require re-commissioning by the manufacturer.
9.6.1 Device description ESI file/XML
NOTE Attention regarding update of the ESI description/EEPROM
Some slaves have stored calibration and configuration data from the production in the EEPROM. These are irretrievably overwritten during an update.
The ESI device description is stored locally on the slave and loaded on start-up. Each device description has a unique identifier consisting of slave name (9 characters/digits) and a revision number (4 digits). Each slave configured in the System Manager shows its identifier in the EtherCAT tab:

Fig. 274: Device identifier consisting of name EL3204-0000 and revision -0016

582

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix
The configured identifier must be compatible with the actual device description used as hardware, i.e. the description which the slave has loaded on start-up (in this case EL3204). Normally the configured revision must be the same or lower than that actually present in the terminal network.
For further information on this, please refer to the EtherCAT system documentation.
Update of XML/ESI description
The device revision is closely linked to the firmware and hardware used. Incompatible combinations lead to malfunctions or even final shutdown of the device. Corresponding updates should only be carried out in consultation with Beckhoff support.
Display of ESI slave identifier
The simplest way to ascertain compliance of configured and actual device description is to scan the EtherCAT boxes in TwinCAT mode Config/FreeRun:

Fig. 275: Scan the subordinate field by right-clicking on the EtherCAT device If the found field matches the configured field, the display shows
Fig. 276: Configuration is identical otherwise a change dialog appears for entering the actual data in the configuration.

Appendix

Fig. 277: Change dialog
In this example in Fig. Change dialog, an EL3201-0000-0017 was found, while an EL3201-0000-0016 was configured. In this case the configuration can be adapted with the Copy Before button. The Extended Information checkbox must be set in order to display the revision.
Changing the ESI slave identifier
The ESI/EEPROM identifier can be updated as follows under TwinCAT: · Trouble-free EtherCAT communication must be established with the slave. · The state of the slave is irrelevant. · Right-clicking on the slave in the online display opens the EEPROM Update dialog, Fig. EEPROM Update

Fig. 278: EEPROM Update
The new ESI description is selected in the following dialog, see Fig. Selecting the new ESI. The checkbox Show Hidden Devices also displays older, normally hidden versions of a slave.

584

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix

Fig. 279: Selecting the new ESI
A progress bar in the System Manager shows the progress. Data are first written, then verified.
The change only takes effect after a restart.
Most EtherCAT devices read a modified ESI description immediately or after startup from the INIT. Some communication settings such as distributed clocks are only read during power-on. The EtherCAT slave therefore has to be switched off briefly in order for the change to take effect.

9.6.2 Firmware explanation

Determining the firmware version
Determining the version on laser inscription
Beckhoff EtherCAT slaves feature serial numbers applied by laser. The serial number has the following structure: KK YY FF HH
KK - week of production (CW, calendar week) YY - year of production FF - firmware version HH - hardware version
Example with ser. no.: 12 10 03 02:
12 - week of production 12 10 - year of production 2010 03 - firmware version 03 02 - hardware version 02
Determining the version via the System Manager
The TwinCAT System Manager shows the version of the controller firmware if the master can access the slave online. Click on the E-Bus Terminal whose controller firmware you want to check (in the example terminal 2 (EL3204)) and select the tab CoE Online (CAN over EtherCAT).
CoE Online and Offline CoE
Two CoE directories are available: · online: This is offered in the EtherCAT slave by the controller, if the EtherCAT slave supports this. This CoE directory can only be displayed if a slave is connected and operational. · offline: The EtherCAT Slave Information ESI/XML may contain the default content of the CoE. This CoE directory can only be displayed if it is included in the ESI (e.g. "Beckhoff EL5xxx.xml"). The Advanced button must be used for switching between the two views.
In Fig. Display of EL3204 firmware version the firmware version of the selected EL3204 is shown as 03 in CoE entry 0x100A.

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

585

Appendix

9.10 Notes on analog measured values
9.10.1 Notices on analog specifications
Beckhoff I/O devices (terminals, boxes, modules) with analog inputs are characterized by a number of technical characteristic data; refer to the technical data in the respective documents. Some explanations are given below for the correct interpretation of these characteristic data.
9.10.1.1 Full scale value (FSV)
An I/O device with an analog input measures over a nominal measuring range that is limited by an upper and a lower limit (initial value and end value); these can usually be taken from the device designation. The range between the two limits is called the measuring span and corresponds to the equation (end value initial value). Analogous to pointing devices this is the measuring scale (see IEC 61131) or also the dynamic range. For analog I/O devices from Beckhoff the rule is that the limit with the largest value is chosen as the full scale value of the respective product (also called the reference value) and is given a positive sign. This applies to both symmetrical and asymmetrical measuring spans.

Fig. 288: Full scale value, measuring span
For the above examples this means: · Measuring range 0...10 V: asymmetric unipolar, full scale value = 10 V, measuring span = 10 V · Measuring range 4...20 mA: asymmetric unipolar, full scale value = 20 mA, measuring span = 16 mA · Measuring range -200...1370°C: asymmetric bipolar, full scale value = 1370°C, measuring span = 1570°C · Measuring range -10...+10 V: symmetric bipolar, full scale value = 10 V, measuring span = 20 V
This applies to analog output terminals/ boxes (and related Beckhoff product groups).
9.10.1.2 Measuring error/ measurement deviation
The relative measuring error (% of the full scale value) is referenced to the full scale value and is calculated as the quotient of the largest numerical deviation from the true value (`measuring error') referenced to the full scale value.

596

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix

The measuring error is generally valid for the entire permitted operating temperature range, also called the `usage error limit' and contains random and systematic portions of the referred device (i.e. `all' influences such as temperature, inherent noise, aging, etc.).
It is always to be regarded as a positive/negative span with ±, even if it is specified without ± in some cases.
The maximum deviation can also be specified directly.
Example: Measuring range 0...10 V and measuring error < ± 0.3 % full scale value  maximum deviation ± 30 mV in the permissible operating temperature range.
Lower measuring error
Since this specification also includes the temperature drift, a significantly lower measuring error can usually be assumed in case of a constant ambient temperature of the device and thermal stabilization after a user calibration. This applies to analog output devices.
9.10.1.3 Temperature coefficient tK [ppm/K]
An electronic circuit is usually temperature dependent to a greater or lesser degree. In analog measurement technology this means that when a measured value is determined by means of an electronic circuit, its deviation from the "true" value is reproducibly dependent on the ambient/operating temperature.
A manufacturer can alleviate this by using components of a higher quality or by software means.
The temperature coefficient, when indicated, specified by Beckhoff allows the user to calculate the expected measuring error outside the basic accuracy at 23 °C.
Due to the extensive uncertainty considerations that are incorporated in the determination of the basic accuracy (at 23 °C), Beckhoff recommends a quadratic summation.
Example: Let the basic accuracy at 23 °C be ±0.01% typ. (full scale value), tK = 20 ppm/K typ.; the accuracy A35 at 35 °C is wanted, hence T = 12 K

Remarks: ppm  10-6

%  10-2

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

597

Appendix
9.10.1.4 Long-term use
Analog devices (inputs, outputs) are subject to constant environmental influences during operation (temperature, temperature change, shock/vibration, irradiation, etc.) This can affect the function, in particular the analog accuracy (also: measurement or output uncertainty). As industrial products, Beckhoff analog devices are designed for 24h/7d continuous operation. The devices show that they generally comply with the accuracy specification, even in long-term use. However, as is usual for technical devices, an unlimited functional assurance (also applies to accuracy) cannot be given. Beckhoff recommends checking the usability in relation to the application target within the scope of normal system maintenance, e.g. every 12-24 months.
9.10.1.5 Single-ended/differential typification
For analog inputs Beckhoff makes a basic distinction between two types: single-ended (SE) and differential (DIFF), referring to the difference in electrical connection with regard to the potential difference. The diagram shows two-channel versions of an SE module and a DIFF module as examples for all multichannel versions.

Fig. 289: SE and DIFF module as 2-channel version
Note: Dashed lines indicate that the respective connection may not necessarily be present in each SE or DIFF module. Electrical isolated channels are operating as differential type in general, hence there is no direct relation (voltaic) to ground within the module established at all. Indeed, specified information to recommended and maximum voltage levels have to be taken into account.
The basic rule:
· Analog measurements always take the form of voltage measurements between two potential points. For voltage measurements a large R is used, in order to ensure a high impedance. For current measurements a small R is used as shunt. If the purpose is resistance measurement, corresponding considerations are applied.

598

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix

 Beckhoff generally refers to these two points as input+/signal potential and input-/reference potential.
 For measurements between two potential points two potentials have to be supplied.
 Regarding the terms "single-wire connection" or "three-wire connection", please note the following for pure analog measurements: three- or four-wire connections can be used for sensor supply, but are not involved in the actual analog measurement, which always takes place between two potentials/wires. In particular this also applies to SE, even though the term suggest that only one wire is required.
· The term "electrical isolation" should be clarified in advance. Beckhoff IO modules feature 1..8 or more analog channels; with regard to the channel connection a distinction is made in terms of:
 how the channels WITHIN a module relate to each other, or
 how the channels of SEVERAL modules relate to each other.
The property of electrical isolation indicates whether the channels are directly connected to each other.
 Beckhoff terminals/ boxes (and related product groups) always feature electrical isolation between the field/analog side and the bus/EtherCAT side. In other words, if two analog terminals/ boxes are not connected via the power contacts (cable), the modules are effectively electrically isolated.
 If channels within a module are electrically isolated, or if a single-channel module has no power contacts, the channels are effectively always differential. See also explanatory notes below. Differential channels are not necessarily electrically isolated.
· Analog measuring channels are subject to technical limits, both in terms of the recommended operating range (continuous operation) and the destruction limit. Please refer to the respective terminal/ box documentation for further details.
Explanation
· differential (DIFF)
 Differential measurement is the most flexible concept. The user can freely choose both connection points, input+/signal potential and input-/reference potential, within the framework of the technical specification.
 A differential channel can also be operated as SE, if the reference potential of several sensors is linked. This interconnection may take place via the system GND.
 Since a differential channel is configured symmetrically internally (cf. Fig. SE and DIFF module as 2-channel variant), there will be a mid-potential (X) between the two supplied potentials that is the same as the internal ground/reference ground for this channel. If several DIFF channels are used in a module without electrical isolation, the technical property VCM (common-mode voltage) indicates the degree to which the mean voltage of the channels may differ.
 The internal reference ground may be accessible as connection point at the terminal/ box, in order to stabilize a defined GND potential in the terminal/ box. In this case it is particularly important to pay attention to the quality of this potential (noiselessness, voltage stability). At this GND point a wire may be connected to make sure that VCM,max is not exceeded in the differential sensor cable. If differential channels are not electrically isolated, usually only one VCM, max is permitted. If the channels are electrically isolated this limit should not apply, and the channels voltages may differ up to the specified separation limit.
 Differential measurement in combination with correct sensor wiring has the special advantage that any interference affecting the sensor cable (ideally the feed and return line are arranged side by side, so that interference signals have the same effect on both wires) has very little effect on the measurement, since the potential of both lines varies jointly (hence the term common mode). In simple terms: Common-mode interference has the same effect on both wires in terms of amplitude and phasing.
 Nevertheless, the suppression of common-mode interference within a channel or between channels is subject to technical limits, which are specified in the technical data.

Appendix
 If the analog circuit is designed as SE, the input/reference wire is internally fixed to a certain potential that cannot be changed. This potential must be accessible from outside on at least one point for connecting the reference potential, e.g. via the power contacts (cable).
 In other words, in situations with several channels SE offers users the option to avoid returning at least one of the two sensor cables to the terminal/ box (in contrast to DIFF). Instead, the reference wire can be consolidated at the sensors, e.g. in the system GND.
 A disadvantage of this approach is that the separate feed and return line can result in voltage/ current variations, which a SE channel may no longer be able to handle. See common-mode interference. A VCM effect cannot occur, since the module channels are internally always 'hardwired' through the input/reference potential.
Typification of the 2/3/4-wire connection of current sensors
Current transducers/sensors/field devices (referred to in the following simply as `sensor') with the industrial 0/4-20 mA interface typically have internal transformation electronics for the physical measured variable (temperature, current, etc.) at the current control output. These internal electronics must be supplied with energy (voltage, current). The type of cable for this supply thus separates the sensors into self-supplied or externally supplied sensors:
Self-supplied sensors · The sensor draws the energy for its own operation via the sensor/signal cable + and -. So that enough energy is always available for the sensor's own operation and open-circuit detection is possible, a lower limit of 4 mA has been specified for the 4-20 mA interface; i.e. the sensor allows a minimum current of 4 mA and a maximum current of 20 mA to pass. · 2-wire connection see Fig. 2-wire connection, cf. IEC60381-1 · Such current transducers generally represent a current sink and thus like to sit between + and ­ as a `variable load'. Refer also to the sensor manufacturer's information.

Fig. 290: 2-wire connection
Therefore, they are to be connected according to the Beckhoff terminology as follows:
preferably to `single-ended' inputs if the +Supply connections of the terminal/ box are also to be used connect to +Supply and Signal
they can, however, also be connected to `differential' inputs, if the termination to GND is then manufactured on the application side ­ to be connected with the right polarity to +Signal and ­Signal It is important to refer to the information page Configuration of 0/4..20 mA differential inputs (see documentation for the EL30xx terminals, for example)!
Externally supplied sensors · 3- and 4-wire connection see Fig. Connection of externally supplied sensors, cf. IEC60381-1 · the sensor draws the energy/operating voltage for its own operation from two supply cables of its own. One or two further sensor cables are used for the signal transmission of the current loop:  1 sensor cable: according to the Beckhoff terminology such sensors are to be connected to `single-ended' inputs in 3 cables with +/-/Signal lines and if necessary FE/shield  2 sensor cables: for sensors with 4-wire connection based on +supply/-supply/+signal/-signal, check whether +signal can be connected to +supply or ­signal to ­supply.

- Yes: then you can connect accordingly to a Beckhoff `single-ended' input.
- No: the Beckhoff `differential' input for +Signal and ­Signal is to be selected; +Supply and ­ Supply are to be connected via additional cables. It is important to refer to the information page Configuration of 0/4..20 mA differential inputs (see documentation for the EL30xx terminals, for example)!
Note: expert organizations such as NAMUR demand a usable measuring range <4 mA/>20 mA for error detection and adjustment, see also NAMUR NE043. The Beckhoff device documentation must be consulted in order to see whether the respective device supports such an extended signal range. Usually there is an internal diode existing within unipolar terminals/ boxes (and related product groups), in this case the polarity/direction of current have to be observed.

Classification of the Beckhoff terminals/ boxes - Beckhoff 0/4-20 mA terminals/ boxes (and related product groups) are available as differential and single-ended terminals/ boxes (and related product groups):

9.10.1.6 Common-mode voltage and reference ground (based on differential inputs)
Common-mode voltage (Vcm) is defined as the average value of the voltages of the individual connections/ inputs and is measured/specified against reference ground.

Fig. 293: Common-mode voltage (Vcm)
The definition of the reference ground is important for the definition of the permitted common-mode voltage range and for measurement of the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) for differential inputs.
The reference ground is also the potential against which the input resistance and the input impedance for single-ended inputs or the common-mode resistance and the common-mode impedance for differential inputs is measured.
The reference ground is usually accessible at or near the terminal/ box, e.g. at the terminal contacts, power contacts (cable) or a mounting rail. Please refer to the documentation regarding positioning. The reference ground should be specified for the device under consideration.
For multi-channel terminals/ boxes with resistive (=direct, ohmic, galvanic) or capacitive connection between the channels, the reference ground should preferably be the symmetry point of all channels, taking into account the connection resistances.
Reference ground samples for Beckhoff IO devices:
1. Internal AGND fed out: EL3102/EL3112, resistive connection between the channels 2. 0V power contact: EL3104/EL3114, resistive connection between the channels and AGND; AGND

 EL3174-0002: Channels have no resistive connection between each other, although they are capacitively coupled to SGND via leakage capacitors
 EL3314: No internal ground fed out to the terminal points, although capacitive coupling to SGND
9.10.1.7 Dielectric strength
A distinction should be made between: · Dielectric strength (destruction limit): Exceedance can result in irreversible changes to the electronics  Against a specified reference ground  Differential · Recommended operating voltage range: If the range is exceeded, it can no longer be assumed that the system operates as specified  Against a specified reference ground  Differential

9.10.1.8 Temporal aspects of analog/digital conversion
The conversion of the constant electrical input signal to a value-discrete digital and machine-readable form takes place in the analog Beckhoff EL/KL/EP input modules with ADC (analog digital converter). Although different ADC technologies are in use, from a user perspective they all have a common characteristic: after the conversion a certain digital value is available in the controller for further processing. This digital value, the so-called analog process data, has a fixed temporal relationship with the "original parameter", i.e. the electrical input value. Therefore, corresponding temporal characteristic data can be determined and specified for Beckhoff analogue input devices.
This process involves several functional components, which act more or less strongly in every AI (analog input) module:
· the electrical input circuit · the analog/digital conversion · the digital further processing · the final provision of the process and diagnostic data for collection at the fieldbus (EtherCAT, Kbus,
etc.)

Fig. 295: Signal processing analog input Two aspects are crucial from a user perspective:

604

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix
· "How often do I receive new values?", i.e. a sampling rate in terms of speed with regard to the device/ channel
· What delay does the (whole) AD conversion of the device/channel cause? I.e. the hardware and firmware components in its entirety. For technological reasons, the signal characteristics must be taken into account when determining this information: the run times through the system differ, depending on the signal frequency.
This is the "external" view of the "Beckhoff AI channel" system ­ internally the signal delay in particular is composed of different components: hardware, amplifier, conversion itself, data transport and processing. Internally a higher sampling rate may be used (e.g. in the deltaSigma converters) than is offered "externally" from the user perspective. From a user perspective of the "Beckhoff AI channel" component this is usually irrelevant or is specified accordingly, if it is relevant for the function.
For Beckhoff AI devices the following specification parameters for the AI channel are available for the user from a temporal perspective:
1. Minimum conversion time [ms, µs]
This is the reciprocal value of the maximum sampling rate [sps, samples per second]: Indicates how often the analog channel makes a newly detected process data value available for collection by the fieldbus. Whether the fieldbus (EtherCAT, K-bus) fetches the value with the same speed (i.e. synchronous), or more quickly (if the AI channel operates in slow FreeRun mode) or more slowly (e.g. with oversampling), is then a question of the fieldbus setting and which modes the AI device supports. For EtherCAT devices the so-called toggle bit indicates (by toggling) for the diagnostic PDOs when a newly determined analog value is available. Accordingly, a maximum conversion time, i.e. a smallest sampling rate supported by the AI device, can be specified. Corresponds to IEC 61131-2, section 7.10.2 2, "Sampling repeat time"
2. Typical signal delay
Corresponds to IEC 61131-2, section 7.10.2 1, "Sampling duration". From this perspective it includes all internal hardware and firmware components, but not "external" delay components from the fieldbus or the controller (TwinCAT). This delay is particularly relevant for absolute time considerations, if AI channels also provide a time stamp that corresponds to the amplitude value ­ which can be assumed to match the physically prevailing amplitude value at the time. Due to the frequency-dependent signal delay time, a dedicated value can only be specified for a given signal. The value also depends on potentially variable filter settings of the channel. A typical characterization in the device documentation may be:
2.1 Signal delay (step response)
Keywords: Settling time The square wave signal can be generated externally with a frequency generator (note impedance!) The 90 % limit is used as detection threshold. The signal delay [ms, µs] is then the time interval between the (ideal) electrical square wave signal and the time at which the analog process value has reached the 90 % amplitude.

2.2 Signal delay (linear)
Keyword: Group delay Describes the delay of a signal with constant frequency A test signal can be generated externally with a frequency generator, e.g. as sawtooth or sine. A simultaneous square wave signal would be used as reference. The signal delay [ms, µs] is then the interval between the applied electrical signal with a particular amplitude and the moment at which the analog process value reaches the same value. A meaningful range must be selected for the test frequency, e.g. 1/20 of the maximum sampling rate.

9.10.2 Notes regarding analog equipment - shielding and earth

Meticulous application of the term "earth" is required, particularly when it comes to reliable use of analog (measuring) signals. The conductive coupling of different potentials, such as earth potential and a housing potential or the earth points of analog devices, can have different aims:
1. Earthing as protective measure against the occurrence of dangerous touch voltages (PE) 2. Earthing for definition of a common signal potential, in order to ensure the function of analog measure-
ments, for example 3. Earthing for discharging of interference or internally generated emissions (FE); keywords: interference
immunity and interference emission
In each case the user should be clear which of the above aims is to be achieved through the respective measures. The respective reference earth can have different potential!
The observations, measures and effects described below primarily refer to 3. "FE/functional earth", taking into account the requirements of 2. "Common reference potential". Information and specifications relating to 1. "PE" can be found in the relevant guidelines, such as VDE0100, and is not part of this section on analog equipment. The focus and application area of the following notes is for the scope of analog signal transmission.
The terms "protective earth" and "functional earth"
This section primarily deals with functional earth (FE,

symbol:

) as a functionally relevant regular part of an installation, in contrast to protective

earth (PE, symbol:

), which is intended to protect persons from excessive touch voltages.

This document
This document provides general recommendations based on practical experience, without taking into account specific features of particular installations. These recommendations should be regarded as a collection of technical solution options. System manufacturers should check to what extent the measures described here are applicable to their system, and which of the suggested measures should be implemented. To this end, different measuring and testing techniques should be used. Any problems should be examined thoroughly, in order to ascertain the trigger and the fault location. This document attempts to deal with a complex issue and does not claim to be exhaustive. We gladly accept suggestions or critical comments.

Lightning protection
Lightning protection aspects are not considered.

Potentially explosive areas
Special regulations and procedures may apply for potentially explosive atmospheres and supply lines for such areas, which are not covered by this documentation.
Reference to individual documents
Special instructions and documentation relating to the devices used must be followed.

Recommended procedure in the event of a conspicuousness
1. Use this document, other publicly available documents/standards and manufacturer documentation to familiarise yourself with the background and practical characteristics of EMC interference. Reflect on the mechanism of action between source of interference  transfer path  interference sink.
2. Use the specified diagnostic methods to isolate the interference sink, i.e. the location/device that does not work properly

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

Appendix
3. Reflect on how the fault could have occurred, taking into account the background information from section 1.
4. Use the information and solution proposals provided to weigh up system-specific options or normative specifications/restrictions. We recommend to only change one component at a time, in order to verify the effectiveness of the respective measure.
5. At the same time, use the specified diagnostic methods to ascertain whether the source of interference or the transfer path has been found.
Functional chain: source of interference ­ coupling ­ interference sink
The undesirable effect of a source of interference on an interference sink via the coupling can be reduced or completely suppressed through the measures described below. A fault results in modification of a wanted signal. In the worst case, the recipient of the wanted signal is no longer able to interpret the information content, or its operation is disturbed due to the modified amplitude/frequency or even electrical damaged.
The fault can be transferred by wire or by radiation.

A device can simultaneously act as source of interference and as interference sink (depending on the effective direction).

A cable/device acts as source of interference effect (emissions, interference emission) due to (e.g.)

through strong/weak interference

· strong/weak interference effect through emissions, i.e. interference emissions

· insufficient suppression through shielding, chokes, filters

· insufficient avoidance through discharge facilities, spark gaps, incorrectly dimensioned termination resistors

A cable/device acts as interference sink

through strong/weak susceptibility to

interference, i.e. inadequate immunity to interference due to (e.g.)

· missing or inadequately implemented protection components: shielding, compensating elements, discharge facilities, spark gaps

In general, the following mechanisms are available for coupling a fault with the wanted signal:

Shielding measures or interference generation prevention may be applied as remedial action. Galvanic coupling ­ measures against transfer:
· Separation of different potentials, avoidance of equalising currents

Appendix
· Full, close-meshed shielding of the signal cable without interruption or holes. Holes in the sense of this documentation are uncovered areas of the order of centimetres. Significant signal components can be emitted or unintentionally received from a hole with a size of 10 % of the wavelengths.
· Single-sided, low-impedance connection of the shielding to system earth
Inductive coupling ­ measures against transfer: · spatial separation · Shielding, see capacitive coupling · Two-sided, low-impedance connection of the shielding to system earth · Equidirectional, tight twisting (high twisting rate) of the analog signal cables with each other
Wireless coupling - measures: · Short cable lengths · Shielding, see capacitive coupling
Common signal potential, basic measures and notices
In some applications the reference potentials of different devices have to be linked, e.g. in order to be able to perform a measurement.
· Usually, no equalising currents should flow via such connections ­ for remedial measures see the following section.
· Buffer amplifiers may have to be used in some cases · Potential-free connections on the device side may be suitable in some cases ­ note the permitted
potential difference!
FE/shielding, basic measures and information
A list of exemplary measures, taking into account the information provided above, which may be considered in order to reduce interference, is provided below.
· Temporal effectiveness: the effectiveness of implemented measures may reduce over time and should therefore be checked regularly, particularly in the event of anomalies. Negative influencing factors include broken wire, oxidation at contact points, mechanical damage, change in earthing characteristics, change in environment (new interference sources?), etc.
· Selected reference potential  The reference potential used for discharge/earthing may itself be subject to interference, so that a connection to it may introduce more interference in the system than it discharges. In this case, a different, low-interference reference potential should be used.  To ensure good discharge, it may be helpful to install a separate FE earthing point in the building and use it for sensitive signals/shielding. Caution in the event of lightning strike: a lightning strike in the vicinity can result in large potential differences between buildings and earth, which can affect locally separated earthing equipment. Spark gaps may be able to prevent equipment damage. VDE guidelines must be followed!
Wanted signal routing · Cable routing  The cable connections should be as short as possible  The denser the cables can be laid over a metallic area/equipotential bonding, the less interference can be introduced, and the more interference is discharged capacitively via earth.  Analog signal cables that are susceptible to interference and load cables with strong interference potential: - parallel installation, with a distance of at least 20 cm from each other - avoid parallel installation

610

Version: 2.6

Appendix
- unshielded cables should be twisted, if possible - provide shielding through metallic isolating strips  Use wire end sleeves or cable sockets to connect flexible cables/strands. Tinning is no longer permitted.  Unused wires/cables should be earthed on one side as a minimum. · Shielding  Shielding must not be used to function as N or PE conductor. Functional earth intended for improving EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) must not be used as protective earth according to VDE 0100.  The shielding should not be used to carry discharge/fault currents.  Some connection technologies as coax requires signal ground and shield on the same conductor. This can be disadvantageous in specific environments. So it should be checked, if another connection method can be used that provides a separate shield as e.g. triax. · Shield configuration  If braided screen is used, it should consist of tin-coated/nickel-plated copper. Aluminium braid may be suitable, provided the specific properties are taken into account.  For cables shielded with braid, the cover should be 60% to 95%.  In special cases magnetic shielding using magnetically conductive, highly permeable material may be required.  Cable shielding may consist of braid and/or electrically conductive foil. The use of foil on its own is inappropriate, since it can easily be interrupted.  Contacting of the electrically conductive foil alone for the purpose of shield coupling is not permitted; the braiding must be contacted. Amongst others, the contacting of the electrically conductive foil confects a too low galvanic coupling and is moreover mechanical less resistant.  Earthed metal tubes used for shrouding cable can offer additional shielding

· Shield connection
 For discharge purposes, a "good connection" should be aimed for, i.e.
- low-impedance connection  cross-section as large as possible, fine-wired, perhaps earthing strap - short cables - large-area contact, perhaps EMC gasket - 360°, if possible - metallic conductive components without contaminants, lacquer, fat, oxide layer

- Pig tails (braid twisted at the end or wire attached to the braid) significantly reduce the effectiveness of the shield coupling. It's strictly recommended not to use it ­ particularly with regard to increased immunity to interference requirements.
Beckhoff offers the ZB8500 shield connection system for this purpose. And also see section "Shielding concept".

· Hum interference may occur if several cables that are connected on both sides run between two devices ("earth loop"). However, opening of the shield on one side can significantly reduce the shield effectiveness. A better solution is coupling of the respective shield on one side via a coupling capacitor (C = 10.. 100nF, bipolar). This provides separation for DC, while currents from HF influence can still be discharged.

612

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix

The coupling capacitor C must have adequate dielectric strength. In some situations it may be advisable to connect a resistance R in the M range parallel to the capacitor.
CAUTION Potentially explosive atmospheres
Note special regulations for potentially explosive atmospheres! · If the shielded cable continues after the shield contact, the further free cable length under shielding should be no longer than a few segments of 10 cm. This also applies to cables within control cabinets.

· Manufacturers sometimes equip devices with an RC combination between earth and PE. On the one hand this can achieve good discharge capacity for HF interference, on the other hand the device may not be damaged inadvertently through high leakage currents. Such an RC combination on the device side as connection between earth and PE counts as earth-free coupling.

A high-resistance resistor prevents excessive leakage currents. The capacitor short-circuits highfrequency peaks with low impedance. A specified dielectric strength applies for the combination. Good interference protection can be achieved if a shielded cable is laid completely earth-free (only RC connection on both sides).
· If a shielded cable has a drain wire, connection of this conductor to the shield coupling only is inadequate. At the cable end the shield and the drain wire should be connected together at the designated shield point.
· Connection of the shielding with sources of interference - only expected outside the control cabinet
 Apply the shielding at the control cabinet entry
 Continuation of the shielding within the control cabinet may not be necessary

· Connection of the shielding with sources of interference - also expected inside the control cabinet

· The equipotential bonding conductor should be fine-wired, so that it has a large surface area to ensure effectiveness for high-frequency interference currents. In addition, compliance with the minimum diameters according to IEC 60364-5-54 is required

The following section lists some options for checking the effectiveness of shielding measures: · Visual inspection · Acoustic inspection (listen for voltage flash-overs) · Voltage measurement with voltmeter between suspect system points · Monitoring of voltages on shielding conductors with an oscilloscope that is suitable for high frequencies · Current measurement of equalising currents on the shielding cable with a clamp-on ammeter. The current on the shielding should not exceed a few milliamps (True RMS). · Continuity measurement of the shielding and checking for unacceptable shunt · Temperature measurement of surge arresters; the contact point will warm up in the presence of high current passage and high contact resistance

The signals are formed electrically and measured analogously as · signals via industrial interfaces 10 V, 20 mA, ... · signals from the sensor directly: voltage of a battery [V], bridge signal [mV/V], current measurement [A], resistance []...
Signals that do not have to be measured electrically but are already present virtually in the control system can also be analyzed with the tools listed below, but are not the focus of this document.
Introduction
This chapter deals with the usual "circumstances" of real analog sensor signals in industrial environments, which are considered "over time", in the course of which information is transmitted to the controller in the form of
· amplitude or signal level, or "signal is present", "signal is not present" · frequency or · a mixture thereof
In practical terms and based on actual examples, this means · the signals are "constant"  battery measurement (but only without load)

· or are constantly changing, unpredictable, e.g.:

Appendix · Sometimes all these factors interact, in which case the question arises: "what is the measured value"?
· In any case, they rarely look as ideal and cyclical as here:

NOTE The time axis is relative
In the above examples the x/time axis is intentionally not labeled. Whether a signal is fast/slow, flat/steep "only" depends on the evaluation against the set requirement and the measuring time: in a mechanical tensile test (tear test), the signal changes only slightly for a long time, until very steep signal changes in the µs range are suddenly observed at the break point
Although "real" industrial signals are not permanently uniformly ideal and sinusoidal, it is helpful to use the terms and tools of theoretical signal analysis to characterize effects and test the effectiveness of measures. Keywords such as "signal frequency", "edge steepness", "attenuation" and similar can then be applied to the real signal section by section.
This chapter therefore considers the extensive theoretical basis of signal theory (which can be studied via www.wikipedia.com and standard text books) through the eyes of the industrial automation engineer and focuses on
· signal parameters µV..kV, corresponding to Ampere, etc., · signal frequencies 0 Hz to ~1 MHz, · non-constant signals,

· that are not ideal.
Practical applications
Analog input modules can measure as follows, in order of increasing complexity:
· Static electrical variables that do not change over a "short" time: DC voltage or DC current, generally one constant variable, "DC" for short (direct current). This is available e.g. as output voltage of a battery that is not under load. Note: "short" is a subjective term that very much depends on the particular situation
· Dynamic electric variables that change over time: AC voltage or AC current, generally one alternating variable, "AC" for short (alternating current). It has a signal shape that repeats with a certain period. This is present, for example, in the German power supply system with a sinusoidal signal form of 50 Hz or appears in the form of "rapidly" changing measured variables on machines. The reciprocal value of the period value is the frequency f; unit Hz. The maximum value is called amplitude among other things and can refer to the current or voltage value. For a first approach it can be regarded as a constantly repeating, periodic/deterministic signal.
· Mixed signals: These are a "mixed form" of several overlaid alternating variables. They take the form of a voltage or current signal containing several alternating variables with different frequencies and amplitudes, and may also contain a DC voltage, which is usually referred to as the "DC component" or "offset". Here too, the first approach should be based on constantly repeating, periodic/deterministic signals
· If the signals change in their frequency/amplitude, so-called non-deterministic/stochastic (random) signals, we finally encounter the real cable reality. A particularly good example of a signal of this kind would be a "noise signal".
It should be noted that the "actual" signals that appear ­ the "real" signals ­ are more or less mixed signals, because electronic components are always "lossy" and usually distort a "pure" signal shape. Ideal signals are theoretical variables where no losses are taken into account. Therefore, a signal is specified as a real occurring mixed signal among other things by its maximum amplitude A and the lowest frequency that it contains, i.e. the base frequency. In addition, the constancy of a frequency in real environments is usually not possible either due to physical conditions. As a rule, it is rather complicated to create an oscillation generating system that is subject to virtually no changes of frequency over time.
Below, we explain what fundamentally needs to be observed when measuring dynamic signals with analog input modules.
Signal theory
The basic accuracies specified in the Beckhoff IO documentation apply in general to static (DC) signals unless stated otherwise. When determining the specification, a DC signal is applied and a measurement is only carried out when the entire measuring system has completely settled down and the measured value does not change within a "short" time. At attempt is made in the production calibration to minimize the residual deviation GDC.
On account of the losses and inertia of resistors, inductances and capacitances in the amplifiers of an electrical input circuit as well as the finite calculation times of digital signal processing blocks, settling requires a certain time (also referred to as settling time). Depending on the layout, this can take between a few nanoseconds and several seconds. Side note: If the thermal settling of the devices/cables also has to be taken into account, it can even take many minutes.
If, on the other hand, a dynamic, time-dependent (AC) signal is measured, the measuring system can never settle to a completely stationary state, because the signal is constantly changing and the rate of change of the AC signal is greater than the settling time of the system. This gives rise to an additional frequencydependent deviation that is not covered by the DC specification GDC. For example, if the dynamic signal is a sine wave
S(t)=Asin(2fSignalft),
with amplitude A, the additional deviation can be displayed as gain deviation GAC. In reality, this means that Ameasured  Asignal, where not only attenuation Ameasured < Asignal is possible, but also inadvertently amplification Ameasured > Asignal. The total gain deviation then results in

ELM3xxx

Appendix
Gtot = GAC + GDC (frequency-dependent) where GAC is the additional gain deviation due to the alternating signal. Below, a real signal is examined whose signal composition (base frequency, noise, overlaid interferences) changes constantly; nevertheless, an ideal case is assumed with regard to its frequency, which is then constant (f = const.). Note: since this method has its historical basis in signal transmission in the AC range, the corresponding terms are used: gain/amplification, dB, attenuation and so on. As described later, this often leads to common statements in logarithmic [dB] representation, which have to be converted for low-frequency [ppm] assessment. The frequency response in dB and ppm This frequency-dependent deviation can be represented as a so-called frequency response. The frequency response describes the ratio of the output signal to the input signal with regard to the amplitude and the phase for a certain frequency range.
The phase shift is irrelevant in many applications and is therefore often not displayed. However, it should be borne in mind that not only the amplitude of the output signal can change over the frequency, but also the phase of the output signal relative to the input signal. On a graph of the frequency response, the x-axis always represents the frequency fsignal. The amplitude ratio is displayed either linearly or logarithmically (preferably in the unit dB [decibel]) in the y-axis. Depending on the analysis objective, the linear or logarithmic scaling shows certain characteristics better. It should be emphasized that the scaling (linear/logarithmic) is independent of the unit (Hz, ppm, dB)!

The unit dB (decibel, 1/10 Bel) is used to describe the ratios of two values to each other. It has no unit itself! A dB is defined for two powers P1 and P2 by the following equation
With this representation method, for example, it is possible in a system chain with amplifying and attenuating elements to determine a total value simply by the addition and subtraction of the individual values instead of multiplication and division. For the two electrical power values on the same resistance, the general equation P = U · I, together with Ohm's law, produces a square ratio for the two currents I1 and I2 as well as for the two voltages U1 and U2:
and
transferred to the ratio of the two powers P1 und P2:
and
The square can be written before the logarithm and the following equation thus results in general for two amplitudes A1 and A2 as field variables:

In this context it is helpful to note the following conversions of dB and amplitude ratios:

The following illustration shows the double logarithmic amplitude response of an "ideal", i.e. "calculated" RC circuit configured as a low-pass filter, where R = 1 M and C = 1 nF. Both amplitude and frequency are represented logarithmically:

Fig. 298: Amplitude response of a low pass RC circuit
The input signal passes through almost without attenuation up to the frequency marked by the dotted line (fsignal  159 Hz, amplitude at 3 dB, 102 = 100!). Above = to the right of this frequency (obviously even a little before that), the circuit begins to attenuate the input signal noticeably. The marked frequency obviously separates two areas with different behaviors. It is therefore also referred to as the cut-off frequency fc.
Depending on the background to the problem, there are various parameters to describe the amplitude/ frequency responses. The 3 dB point is one possible parameter and is often used with analog RC filters or digital Butterworth filters.
The graph gives the impression that the amplitude passes through entirely unattenuated up to f = 20 Hz, but that is not the case. Like a view from afar, the dB representation conceals the fact that, from a microscopic point of view with a resolution in % = 1/100 or ppm = 1/1000000 = 106, attenuation does indeed take place. And this is particularly interesting when it comes to analog input modules that are specified with a basic accuracy in the ppm range.
The next illustration shows the same relative attenuation, but in ppm. It is a double-linear representation of the amplitude response of the RC circuit:

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

625

Appendix

Fig. 299: Relative "gain" deviation of the RC circuit in ppm up to 50 Hz

The graph shows that at 10 Hz the output amplitude is already smaller relative to the input amplitude by 1968 ppm - in fact a measurement error. Since it is known in concrete terms, this can even be called a measurement error.

From the above table, we therefore select the small attenuation range of interest for metrological modules with some example values:

dB vs. ppm [dB] -0.001 -0.005 -0.01 -0.02 -0.04 -0.08 -0.2 -0.4 -0.8 -1.6 -3

[%] 0.01 0.06 0.12 0.23 0.46 0.92 2.28 4.5 8.8 16.82 29.21

[ppm] 115 575 1151 2300 4595 9168 22763 45007 87989 168236 292054

An attenuation of 3 dB thus means almost 30%FSV or almost 300000 ppmFSV amplitude error! And measurement accuracy of 0.1% corresponds to about 0.01 dB. This sounds dramatic, and rightly so, and is
lost in the usual logarithmic dB representation.

626

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix The "problem" of the dB representation, however, is mainly due to the fact that a dB representation usually extends over several Hz orders of magnitude - precisely in order to represent the high attenuations and to show linear behavior over wide frequency ranges.
When zooming into the dB representation and for consideration only lower frequency parts, the information is much better:

But before we look at the effect of the frequency response specifically on analog inputs, we need to look at other phenomena.
Filters are everywhere
The above-described "manipulation" of the frequency response takes place by means of so-called filters along the signal processing chain

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

627

Appendix
· unavoidably in all electrical, i.e. analog elements · manipulably in the digital, i.e. software elements
Filter can be subdivided according to their application and their implementation. On the one hand, filters are used to influence or change the signal in the time domain, for example to smooth signals or to remove the DC component. Frequency-selecting filters aim to separate certain frequency bands from one another. The above example with the RC circuit is a low-pass filter that allows low frequencies to pass through with almost no attenuation while strongly attenuating higher frequencies. In addition to low-pass filters there are other filter types, such as high-pass filter, band-pass filter and band-stop filter. Other user-defined filters can be designed for other applications that don't fit into these categories, or for complicated applications.
Filters can be constructed either as analog filters (active or passive) or as digital filters in software.
Filters are characterized by their response to certain signal types. Each linear filter has a pulse response or step response and a frequency and phase response. The step response describes the temporal amplitude curve when an (ideal) step is connected to the input; the frequency response describes the amplitude gain (or phase shift) between the output and input signal. If one of the three graphs is known, the other two graphs can be calculated from it.
With many filters, the -3 dB frequency indicates the signal frequency at which the signal is attenuated by -3 dB. As already indicated above, it is also referred to with certain filter types as a cut-off frequency, at which the output power has been halved and the amplitude has fallen to 1/2 = approx. 70% in comparison with the input amplitude, corresponding to a attenuation of approx. 30%.
Digital filters can be divided into two categories: FIR filters (finite impulse response filters) and IIR filters (infinite impulse response filters). As the names suggest, the two filter types differ by their pulse response in the time range. The following illustrations show the differences in the pulse response of the two filter types:

Fig. 300: Example Impulse response of two filters; top FIR filter, bottom IIR filter FIR filters are described by the mathematical equation

628

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix
Only input data x(nk) are used which are accordingly sampled amplitude and time discrete values. With an FIR filter, the impulse response becomes zero after a finite time, which ultimately means that it is always stable, since there is no feedback, and can exhibit a linear phase response. However, FIR filters require a higher filter order to achieve a performance similar to IIR filters, which results in a longer calculation time. "Higher order" means that more filters have to be calculated one after the other.
IIR filters are described by the following equation
In order to calculate the output value y(n), the previously calculated output data y(n-k) are used in addition to the input data x(n-k). The filter is therefore recursive. For that reason, IIR filters are also called recursive filters. The pulse response of an IIR filter is infinite and thus never settle to zero stationary. This can ultimately lead to instability.
A fundamental effect was mentioned here by the way: the more effect/costly a digital filter is, the higher its complexity and thus the longer its calculation time in the software. This leads in practice to a signal delay.
Nyquist, Shannon and false signals: "Aliasing"
The fundamental sampling theorem states that, if a measuring device samples an analog signal at a constant (steady) sampling rate that is more than twice the highest frequency component present in the signal, the original analog signal can be fully restored from the discrete data points.
(Note: the highest frequency present in the signal is referred to as the bandwidth of this signal.)
After all, this is the actual aim of an analog measurement, i.e. the original signal should be available digitally as accurately as possible ("correct") and complete in the control system for further processing in the program. However, a limit must be imposed here that only signal components (frequency ranges are meant here) that are essential for the further process need to be detected. Ideally, the user will make a conscious choice and reflect this limitation. Example: A slow temperature control must be insensitive to low-frequency signals, because this could disturb the controller.
In order to record the analog signal as accurately as possible, the signal bandwidth fsignal must be limited through suitable filtering (see chapter on "Filters") so that only the desired signal but no interfering signals pass through, and the sampling rate fsampling must be selected such that the signal can be restored from the data points as a true representation of the original signal. We therefore have to examine the relationship between the actual sampling rate fsampling and fsignal. (Note: each measurement takes place in the two dimensions time and measured variable. Here we concentrate on the temporal dimension, i.e. the sampling).
Theoretical considerations relating to the sampling theorem are illustrated with an analog signal and different sampling rates.

Appendix

Fig. 301: Analog signal (cos) with a frequency of 1 Hz (blue line) sampled at 10 Hz (red circles)
The analog signal with f = 1 Hz was sampled with fsampling = 10 Hz. The largest (and only) frequency component in this sample is 1 Hz, therefore fsignal = 1 Hz and fsampling = 10fsignal. It is easy to see that the original analog signal can be reconstructed from the discrete values. For example, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) could be calculated from the above data. This would easily be possible, and the resulting spectrum would extend to fsampling/2 = 5 Hz, with a resolution of 0.2 Hz.
If the analog signal had not been a "pure" sine wave but had been harmonically distorted and noisy, then fsignal would no longer be 1 Hz but usually much larger due to the higher frequency components contained in it. In this case the chosen fsampling must be significantly greater than f, depending on the evaluation aim. This also applies in general terms, as will be explained a little later.
The next figure shows what happens if the fSignal = 1 Hz signal is sampled at fsampling = 2 Hz, i.e. fsampling = 2 · fSignal.

ELM3xxx

Appendix

Fig. 302: Analog signal (cos) with a frequency of 1 Hz (blue line), sampled at 2 Hz (red circles) and interpolated / "traced" (red line)
Since in this sample a specification resulting from the sampling theorem is just about met, it is still possible to detect the frequency and amplitude of the signal: fsampling is equal to 2  fSignal.
However, this is no longer possible in general, as the following problem becomes apparent here, if one imagines that the sampling moments would be randomly shifted by 90° relative to the signal. In this case the value of the signal at each sample point would be zero, and it would no longer be possible to detect the frequency or amplitude.

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

631

Appendix

In practice, it is much more likely that the measuring points lie "somewhere" on the signal:

632

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix

In this case, at least the frequency can still be determined due to the zero crossings, but the peak value (and thus very important signal information) cannot be determined because it is not clear where the measuring points are located on the original signal. In practice, however, neither fsampling nor fsignal will be highly constant, and longer observation will result in variable phasing and the peak value will still be caught "at some point". However, this is of little use with fast-moving industrial signals.
After these theoretical considerations, let us now look at a concrete real example: the induced voltage of a rotating gear wheel on a coil as speed sensor results in the following representation in TwinCAT ScopeView:

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

633

Appendix

Selecting a higher sampling frequency (sampling rate) would be advantageous here in order to be able to follow the amplitude curve better, because signals seem to overlap here. The zero crossings may be sufficient for speed observation.
The frequency
is also called the Nyquist frequency. If an analog signal contains frequency components equal to or greater than the Nyquist frequency, the original signal can no longer be reconstructed. In practice, the Nyquist frequency is selected to be at least a factor of two to three times greater than the bandwidth of the signal frequency fsignal. The resulting problem of the non-reconstructable original signal due to fsignal  fNyquist was already hinted at in the previous example. The figure below illustrates the problem.

634

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix

Fig. 303: Analog signal (cos) with a frequency of 1 Hz (blue line), sampled at 1.1 Hz (red circles) and interpolated / "traced" (red line)
Here fsampling = 1.1 · fSignal. The frequency information of the original blue signal has been lost. From the control system point of view (which only "sees" the red measuring points), it appears that the measured red signal is a signal with a lower frequency. This effect is called aliasing because a different frequency is detected. It is a common problem when the fundamental sampling theorem (also called the Shannon-Nyquist sampling theorem) is violated. The apparently detected alias frequency in this case is falias = 0.1 Hz.
The Shannon-Nyquist theorem and alias effects focus solely on the question of whether the original analog signal can be reconstructed from the sampled values. This cannot be the sole criterion for selecting an analog input, but it is an essential one. In practice, there are situations where the sampling theorem is deliberately violated, e.g. in order to reliably detect fast signal changes. Since the user already knows a lot about the analog signal to be measured, such considerations are quite possible and in many cases help to optimize the measuring system.
Further effects
Further phenomena from the field of measurement of alternating variables such as noise, distortion, signal cross-talk and signal delay in detail will be further illuminated here in due time.
Reaction or recording? Or both?
Finally, from an application perspective, it is important to consider whether the application is a response task, a data recording task, or a mixture of both.
· Reaction:  Example: a distance sensor with a 10 V analog output detects an object approaching on a conveyor belt at 10 m/s and, if 5 V is exceeded, a valve for a paint application should be opened in the shortest possible time. Another extreme example would be current control in a softwarecontrolled magnetic bearing.

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

Appendix
 The following would need to be selected: # an analog input with high sampling rate, open filter, possibly even DistributedClock timestamp function (although the reference to the absolute world time probably does not matter) # short EtherCAT cycle time and short PLC cycle time, if necessary 100 µs or less
 Analog accuracy is secondary here; a long-term recording of the measured values will probably not be carried out either
· Data recording  Example: a strain test lasting several days on a steel structure with slow movements in the seconds range.  The following would need to be selected: # a precision analog input; important here are low noise and high temperature insensitivity, synchronization across multiple channels, possibly even absolute time synchronization to the GPS clock # slow EtherCAT cycle time, the analysis program in C/PLC/Matlab will probably demand quite a lot of the controller  The sampling rate is probably secondary here. Signals with short rise and fall times as well as attenuation issues due to high frequencies are not expected
· In addition to the above extreme examples, most industrial applications are a mixed form of the two. That said, only the user can judge whether a reaction in the 100 µs range is "fast" in view of his problem: for temperature monitoring in the seconds range, this is "too fast", for laser monitoring "too slow".
At the end of the day, therefore, the analog and temporal characteristics of the Beckhoff analog devices have to be judged against the problem.
Effect on analog input devices and the design of the same
Depending on the intended application objective, some basic decisions have to be made by the manufacturer of analog inputs during the design phase. The different answers to the questions
· Attenuation: at what frequency does attenuation occur, how does it proceed? · Sampling rate: which signal frequency should be measured at all, and with what accuracy? · Delay: with what delay may the signal arrive in the controller?
have also been formulated at Beckhoff in the form of analog input devices. The user can find the right device for his application with the help of
· the Beckhoff documents (e.g. this manual) · Beckhoff Sales · and if necessary practical
tests.
NOTE kHz vs. kSps
Note: in order to avoid linguistic misunderstandings in documentation and sales meetings, the incoming signal frequency fsignal is described at Beckhoff with the unit [Hz], and the technical sampling rate fsampling of the analog input with (samples per second) or [kSps] (kilo samples per second).
Here is a rough classification for this:
· The EL30xx class with its 10 V/20 mA inputs is designed for simple measurements on slow signals with 12-bit resolution. Therefore, the hardware filter and the sampling rate are set very low.
· The EL31xx class (also: EP31xx, EJ31xx) with its 10 V/20 mA inputs with 16-bit resolution is designed for fast signals and reaction tasks. In order to promptly inform the controller of fast-changing signals, even the hardware filter is purposely selected higher than the sampling rate. However, this can lead to alias signals in measuring applications.

636

Version: 2.6

ELM3xxx

Appendix
· The measuring terminals of the ELM3xxx class are consistently designed for signal correctness in recording applications; the hardware filter lies well below half the sampling rate with its -3 dB point. The ELM3x0x class "10 kSps" is more suitable for faster tasks, while the ELM3x4x class "1kSps" is more suitable for slower tasks.
· Moreover, key data that are suitable for the application area have been specially defined in the various special function terminals, which cannot all be listed here in detail. For example, the EL3632 / EPP3632 has variable hardware filters that can be adapted to the sampling rate.
9.10.4 Notes on analog aspects to EL3751/ ELM3xxx
Beyond the general instructions relating to analog technology, the following instructions apply for the EL3751 and ELM3xxx (as far as applicable):
· The internal GND of the analog terminal is connected to the connection point ­Uv. When several terminals are wired, the permitted CommonMode voltage among the terminals must not be exceeded.
· The "­Uv"-points must not be connected with each other or with other another potential, although it can be helpful to use it to correct system-specific negative influences.
· Voltage measurement at the high-side shunt A high-side shunt is a shunt that is connected to the positive/upper potential, in which case the negative connection is generally used for switching, hence the term "negative switching".

In principle, it is possible to use mV measurement at a shunt for current determination with the differential U inputs of the EL3751/ELM3xxx. However, two important limitations must be considered
 Ucm between the channels (common mode): For multi-channel terminals, Ucm,max (see technical data [} 17] in this documentation) between the channels must not be exceeded. With a 24 V supply of the loads, it is therefore not possible to use a high-side shunt at 24 V potential on a channel and a low-side shunt at 0 V potential on another channel, because the resulting internal reference ground ­Uv would assume a mean value such that Ucm is exceeded.  Therefore, only high-side shunts or only low-side shunts should be used at a terminal.
 Dynamic processes through pulsed current: In general, the current is controlled through pulsing/ PWM. Depending on the inductance in the load circuit, this can lead to sudden current changes and therefore voltage changes over the shunt. Ucm at the differential inputs changes accordingly. The channel (this therefore also applies to the single-channel EL3751) is LC-coupled to the internal reference ground ­Uv, and the sudden increase in Ucm results in an increase in ­Uv. During this transient (several ms), measurement errors may occur when exceeding Ucm,max.  PWM current measurement with a high-side shunt in 24 V networks is only possible in the 30 V measuring range.
9.10.5 Note on Beckhoff calibration certificates
Basically every Beckhoff analogue device (input or output) will be justified i.e. will be calibrated during production. This procedure won't be documented unique. This documentation as a calibration certificate is only provided for devices that are expressly delivered with a certificate.
The calibration certificate (or German: "Kalibrierschein") entitles the residual error after compensation/ adjustment to the used standard (reference device). The calibration certificate (pdf formatted) can be unique allocated to the device via the ID number. It is therefore not a statement about a device class such as e.g. an approval, but always only applies to a single, named device. It is available for download.

ELM3xxx

Version: 2.6

637

Appendix
By its nature this certificate documents the accuracy of measurement at the time of certificate creation, it contains no assertion about the behavior or change of the measurement accuracy in the future. A calibration certificate acts as a backtracking view to the previous time of usage. By reiterated certification procedures over years (without justification) it allows making conclusions about its ageing behavior, so called calibrate history.
Different "qualities" of a calibration certificate are common:
· Beckhoff calibration certificates Such IP20 terminals can be identified by the product suffix -0020. The certificate is issued in Beckhoff production as pdf. The terminals can be obtained from Beckhoff and recalibrated by the Beckhoff service department.
· ISO17025 calibration certificates Such IP20 terminals can be identified by the product suffix -0030. The certificate is issued by a service provider on behalf of Beckhoff as a part of Beckhoff production. The terminals can be obtained from Beckhoff and recalibrated by the Beckhoff service department.
· DAkkS calibration certificates (German: "Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH") Such IP20 terminals can be identified by the product suffix -0030. The certificate is issued by a accredited service provider on behalf of Beckhoff as a part of Beckhoff production. The terminals can be obtained from Beckhoff and recalibrated by the Beckhoff service department.
Beckhoff produces a wide range of analog input/output devices as IP20 terminal or IP67 box. A selection of these is also available with factory/ISO/DAkkS calibration certificates. For specific details, see the technical data of the devices or contact Beckhoff Sales.
Linguistic note
In American English, "calibration" or "alignment" is understood to mean compensation/adjustment, thus a modifying effect on the device. "Verification", on the other hand, refers to observational determination and documentation of the residual error, referred in German language use as "Kalibrierung".
9.10.6 Readjusting the specification
The analog input terminal is a function block of the modular DIN rail-mountable IP20 system. It follows that there is an almost infinite number of combination options for terminals on the DIN rail, size of the terminal segment, and also a wide range of applications at different ambient temperatures, control cabinet configurations or packing densities. Other influencing factors affecting an analog input terminal as measuring device include cable routing, EMC and earthing measures, the ventilation situation and contamination. In order to ensure reliable replication of the assured specification, despite this variety of factors, a reference configuration is defined below, which should be used as reference environment for verifying the properties of one or several terminals.
NOTE: This does NOT mean that the terminal specification can only be met with this exact configuration. The reference configuration should only be used as an aid for creating a uniform environment for Beckhoff and customer hardware, in order to ensure comparability of the measurement results and simplify the analog communication. This configuration enables undesirable interference in the real system to be separated from the terminal, to facilitate troubleshooting of the system.
The configuration is within the definition space of IEC 61131-2 and essentially follows the rules of EMCcompliant control cabinet construction.
Definition of the environment
· The terminals to be examined should be self-cooling through unobstructed natural convection. All further details are based on this premise
· The terminals are installed in an enclosed control cabinet. This control cabinet is located in a temperature-controlled environment, e.g. a temperature chamber. The control cabinet should have the following dimensions: 600 mm x 600 mm x 350 mm (width x depth x height). The lid must open to the front.

Appendix
Fig. 304: Representation the mounting position of the DIN rail · A 35 mm x 15 mm DIN rail according to EN 50022 is used for the mounting. This rail is mounted horizontally at the rear panel of the control cabinet. It must extend over the entire width of the control cabinet. The DIN rail must be installed such that the terminals are positioned vertically and exactly centrally in the control cabinet. The terminals should also be centered horizontally. · The DIN rail must conductively connected to the control cabinet. The DIN rail is earthed with a cable (low-interference PE). Ensure the door is properly connected. · The supply lines to the devices under test and the power feed terminals should exit at the front. The space above and below the terminals must be clear. The supply lines should be bundled such that convection in the control cabinet is obstructed as little as possible.

· The control cabinet temperature is measured according to IEC 61131-2 at the indicated position at the air inlet point upstream of the terminal when the unit is ventilated. The ambient temperature must be measured with a (verifiable) accuracy of better than ±0.2 °C. The temperature sensor must be mounted horizontally. The temperature outside the control cabinet must be controlled such that the temperature at the measuring point is a constant 23°C.

Fig. 306: Dimensions and installation in the control cabinet
· The control cabinet must be empty, except the terminals that are part of the measurement configuration, the supply lines and the temperature sensor.
· Any other terminals that may be required must be installed outside the control cabinet. The control cabinet feed-through should match the supply lines.
· Shielded cables should be used for the signal lines. The shield should be connected to the DIN rail. State of the art shielding should be used; cf. widely available documents, e.g. from ZVEI. Components from the Beckhoff shielding connection system (ZB8500, ZB8510, ZB8520) should be used for this purpose. The shielding should be connected on one side to the devices under test and the control cabinet.
Definition of the configuration · The following terminals are required for the measurement configuration as a minimum; the configuration can include 2-10 devices under test. Configuration as follows, based on two devices under test as an example:  1x Bus Coupler EK1100  2x terminals to be measured ("devices under test")  4x EBUS/KBUS power feed terminal EL9410  1x bus end cap/end terminal EL9011 · The terminals are then lined up as shown below (for 2 devices under test):

Appendix

Fig. 307: Schematic diagram of the test configuration
· For thermal reasons, 2x EL9410 are connected at the end of the terminal segment. These ensure that the preceding EL3751 is operated in a way that is thermally similar to a center position in the terminal segment.
· The internal terminal temperature in CoE 0x9000:01 should be regarded as a guide. In the environment referred to above, the internal temperature of the EL3751 is expected to be around 52 ±2 °C. Otherwise, the ambient temperature should be adjusted accordingly.
· Both supply voltages (Us and Up) must be connected to the Bus Coupler and all power feed terminals. The operating voltage must be +24 V ±0.5 V, unless an individual terminal requires a different Up voltage.
· The ground connections of Us and Up may be short-circuited. The PE connections of the Bus Coupler and the power feed terminals do not have to be connected.
· If the devices under test have shielding (functional earth) at a terminal point, this must not be connected, since the terminals have a shield spring on the DIN rail at the rear.
