Analog Value Processing
10.10 Example of Analog Value Processing
Problem Definition:
A closed container contains a liquid. It should be possible to read the current liquid level on an
indicating instrument whenever required. A flag is to be set when the liquid level reaches a
specified limiting value.
• A 0 - 20 mA transducer transmits the liquid level signal (between 0 and 10 m) to a 6ES5
460-7LA12 (460 AI) analog input module.
• The analog input module converts the analog current values into digital units (0 - 2048 units),
which can be postprocessed by the S5-115U's application program.
• The application program compares the values with a limiting value (max. permissible liquid
level), sets a flag if necessary, and sends these values to a 6ES5 470-7LB12 (AO 470) analog
output module.
• The analog output module reconverts the values into voltages (0 - 10 V). In response to these
voltages, the needle on the analog display swings proportionally to the liquid level.
