  • Page 123: Current Transformer

    In principle, the choice of current transformer for the EL3773 is not critical. The internal resistance within the current circuit of the EL3773 is so small that it is negligible for the calculation of the total resistances of the current loop. The transformer must be able to supply a secondary rated current of 1 or 1.5 A; the primary rated current I can be chosen as desired.

  • Page 124: Notices On Analog Specifications

    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.

  • Page 125: Measuring Error/ Measurement Deviation

    "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 specified by Beckhoff allows the user to calculate the expected measuring error outside the basic accuracy at 23 °C.

    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.
