Setting the measuring method and ranges of analog input channels

Two procedures
There are two procedures for setting the measuring method and ranges of analog input
channels of analog modules:
● With a measuring range module and STEP 7
● By hardwiring the analog input channel, and programming in STEP 7
The method to use for the various analog modules is module-specific, and described in detail
in the relevant module sections.
The procedure for setting the measuring method and measuring range of the module in STEP
7 is described in the respective sections.
This section describes how to set the measuring method and range using measuring range
modules.
Setting the measuring method and range using measuring range modules
Analog modules are supplied with measuring range modules as required.
Reposition the measuring range modules to suit the measuring method and range.
Note
Make sure that the measuring range modules are on the side of the analog input module.
Before you install the analog input module, check the measuring method and range of the
measuring range modules, and adapt these as required.
Optional settings of the measuring range modules
Optional settings of the measuring range modules are: "A", "B", "C" and "D".
For detailed information on specific measuring method and range settings, refer to the relevant
module section.
The settings for the various measuring methods and ranges are also shown on the printed
label of the analog module.
