Configuring the Module

SIMATIC 505–2556 Installation and Operation Guide
The SIMATIC 505–2556 must be configured for type J, K, R, S, T, E
thermocouples or millivolt range and digital filtering/no filtering mode
before wiring the input connectors and inserting the module into the I/O
base.
NOTE: As shipped, all input channels are configured for Type J
thermocouples (degrees Celsius) and digital filtering enabled, 16 WX mode
and engineering units.
Changing the module input channel configuration involves the following
steps:
1. Selecting thermocouple type or millivolt measurement via DIP switch
2. Selecting thermocouple type or millivolt input for each channel via
hardware jumpers
3. Selecting digital filtering or no filtering for the module
4. Selecting standard login mode (16WX) or Advanced Operating Mode
5. Selecting degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit
6. Selecting Engr units or SCALE units for module
7. Logging the configuration jumper settings for future reference
Each of these steps is described in the following sections.
