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.
A manufacturer can alleviate this by using components of a higher quality or by software means. The temperature coefficient, when indicated, specified by Beckhoff allows the user to calculate the expected measuring error outside the basic accuracy at 23 °C.
In particular this also applies to SE, even though the term suggest that only one wire is required. • The term “electrical isolation” should be clarified in advance. Beckhoff IO modules feature 1..8 or more analog channels; with regard to the channel connection a distinction is made in terms of: ◦...
Page 35
The property of electrical isolation indicates whether the channels are directly connected to each other. ◦ Beckhoff terminals/ boxes (and related product groups) always feature electrical isolation between the field/analog side and the bus/EtherCAT side. In other words, if two analog terminals/ boxes are not connected via the power contacts (cable), the modules are effectively electrically isolated.

Fig. 24: 2-wire connection Therefore, they are to be connected according to the Beckhoff terminology as follows: preferably to ‘single-ended’ inputs if the +Supply connections of the terminal/ box are also to be used - connect to +Supply and Signal they can, however, also be connected to ‘differential’...

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.

This is the “external” view of the “Beckhoff AI channel” system – internally the signal delay in particular is composed of different components: hardware, amplifier, conversion itself, data transport and processing.
