The following figure shows for the module the number of module cycles, in the case of a step
response, after which the smoothed analog value is applied to almost 100%, depending on
the smoothing setting. The figure applies to every change of signal at an analog input.

Measuring methods
You can set the measuring method at the input channels:
● Voltage measurement
● Current measurement
● Resistance measurement
● Temperature measurement
You specify the setting by means of the measuring range modules on the module and the
"Measuring type" parameter in STEP 7.
