Hardware and Engineering

Caution!

Dangerous electrical voltage!

Before commencing the installation

●

Disconnect the power supply of the
device.

●

Ensure that the device cannot be
accidentally restarted.

●

Verify isolation from the supply.

●

Earth and short circuit.

●

Cover or enclose neighbouring units that
are live.

●

Follow the engineering instructions
(AWA) of the device concerned.

●

Only suitably qualified personnel may
work on this device/system.

●

Before installation and before touching
the device ensure that you are free of
electrostatic charge.

●

Connecting cables and signal lines
should be installed so that inductive or
capacitive interference do not impair the
automation functions.

●

Install automation devices and related
operating elements in such a way that
they are well protected against
unintentional operation.

●

Suitable safety hardware and software
measures should be implemented for
the I/O interface so that a line or wire
breakage on the signal side does not
result in undefined states in the
automation devices.

●

Ensure a reliable electrical isolation of
the low voltage for the 24 volt supply.
Only use power supply units complying
with IEC 60 364-4-41 or HD 384.4.41 S2.

●

Deviations of the mains voltage from the
rated value must not exceed the
tolerance limits given in the
specifications, otherwise this may cause
malfunction and dangerous operation.

●

Emergency stop devices complying with
IEC/EN 60 204-1 must be effective in all
operating modes of the automation
devices. Unlatching the emergency-stop
devices must not cause uncontrolled
operation or restart.

●

Devices that are designed for mounting
in housings or control cabinets must only
be operated and controlled after they
have been installed with the housing
closed. Desktop or portable units must
only be operated and controlled in
enclosed housings.

●

Measures should be taken to ensure the
proper restart of programs interrupted
after a voltage dip or failure. This should
not cause dangerous operating states
even for a short time. If necessary,
emergency-stop devices should be
implemented.

About The LE 4-206-AA2

Application range

The LE 4-206-AA2 converts analog current signals of
0(4) to 20 mA into digital values, and digital values
into analog current signals of 0(4) to 20 mA.

In HVAC applications and in process engineering, it
can be used to process the analog signals of sensors
that record physical values such as pressure,
temperature, and flow rate. The analog output
currents can be used to regulate these variables.

The LE 4-206-AA2 can be used to expand the analog
I/O of the PS 4-200, PS 4-300 compact PLCs as well
as the EM 4-204-DX1 remote expansion module.

Configuration and Parameter Setting

The LE 4-206-AA2 is configured in the topology
configurator of the Sucosoft S 40 programming
software:

왘 Open the Topology configurator and choose

‹Edit ➞ Local Expansion›.

왘 Select the LE 4-206-AA2 from the device list.

When selected the LE 4 will be highlighted.

왘 Choose ‹Edit ➞ Parameters› and set the input

and output parameters of the device.

Setting the input and
output parameters

The input and output parameters can be set to meet
the requirements of the application at hand. The
following parameters can be set:

Averaging (only for input channels)

Value range of the input/output current for each
channel

Scaling of inputs and outputs for each channel

The fastest refresh time for all I/O is achieved if
Averaging and Scaling are not selected. Without
these, the refresh time is approx. 3 ms including the
basic filter process. If Scaling is activated without
Averaging, the time required is 4 ms.

Factory setting:

No averaging

Value range 0 to 20 mA

No scaling

Configuration and
Parameter Setting

09/99 AWB 2700-1331 GB

Averaging

This setting applies to all the inputs.
The averaging result depends on the scan interval
and the number of mean values used. The scan
interval is the time in which all analog input values are
to be scanned and supplied to the PLC.
The averaging result depends on the selected
number of values and the scan interval. These two
parameters determine the time required for
averaging:

Example:

The different combinations and the time required for
averaging are set in the Sucosoft S 40 Parameter
Editor.

The table shows some combinations of scan interval
and number of values to form the average.

If the input changes from 0 to 20 mA, the final digital
value will be reached in 6 times the time required for
forming the averaging value.

Setting the input and
output parameters

09/99 AWB 2700-1331 GB

The outputs are also refreshed within the scan
interval for the inputs. In other words, the input scan
interval is at the same time the refresh interval for the
outputs.

Selecting a low scan interval and a small number of
values ensures a fast response in digital output value
to changes in the analog input signal. This will cause
a slight oscillation of value. To avoid oscillations
choose a larger scan interval with a large number of
values.

Value range of the input/output current

The value range for each input and output can be set
separately. Ranges of 0 to 20 mA (0 to 4095) and 4 to
20 mA (820 to 4095) can be selected.

Scaling the inputs and outputs

Scaling can be selected irrespective of whether
Averaging has been selected or not. This option
allows you to assign each input and output signal
from 0(4) to 20 mA a specified range of values for the
application concerned. The range is defined by
means of a minimum and maximum limit value.

If Scaling has been selected, enter the minimum and
maximum value required in the measuring range
window. The following limit values are possible

absolute max. limit value: +32767
absolute min. limit value: –32768

Setting parameters for
the PROFIBUS-DP
network

To use LE 4-206-AA2 as a local expansion module
for the EM 4-204-DX1, the Averaging and Value
Range parameters must be set in the CFG
Configurator.

Scaling

If the LE 4-206-AA2 is connected to PROFIBUS-DP
via the EM 4-204-DX1, scaling applies to all channels.

If Scaling has been selected, enter the minimum and
maximum value required in the measuring range
window. The following limit values are possible

absolute min. limit value –32768
absolute max. limit value: +32767

Since the PROFIBUS-DP standard only permits
positive values between 0 and 65535, the negative
limit value must be converted with the following
formula (twos' complement of the positive value:

Example of a negative limit value:
Enter the range from –120 to +130. Set the following
parameters:

min. limit value: 65536 – 120 = 65416
max. limit value: 130

Example of a positive limit value:
Enter the range from 0 to +100. Set the following
parameters:

min. limit value: 0
max. limit value: 100

Ensure the following: min. limit value < max. limit
value.
An incorrect entry will cause the output of 0 or
4 mA

Addressing/Operation/Diagnostics

Addressing

Addressing the inputs and outputs of the LE 4-206-
AA2 is described in the “Hardware and Engineering”
manual of the master in use. The data type of the
analog values is always of “Integer”. The operands
are addressed as follows:

Addressing/Operation/
Diagnostics

Operation

Startup behaviour

Once the power supply has been switched on, the
PLC sends the parameters set by the user to the
LE 4-206-AA2 and starts the exchange of process
data. No process data is exchanged if the PLC is in
HALT after being switched on. All the outputs of the
LE 4-206-AA2 will remain at 0 mA.

HALT/RUN changeover

Startup behaviour depends on the following.

LE parameters set beforehand
The parameters are transferred with the program. In
this case, the LE requires about 500 ms to adapt the
parameters. The I/O values can then be transferred.
During the calculation period, diagnostics bit 2 is set
in diagnostics byte 1. The Local Status (DLS)
diagnostics bit in the diagnostics status word of the
PS 4 is not set.

In order to ensure that the user program only sends
and receives plausible values, structure the program
so that the scanning and transfer of values is
controlled by the diagnostics bit.

Existing parameters in the LE:
When the PLC switches from Halt to Run,
communication with the LE 4-206-AA2 is resumed
immediately.

Diagnostics

09/99 AWB 2700-1331 GB

RUN/HALT changeover

When the PLC changes from RUN to Halt the PLC
continues to scan the input signals and saves them
in its internal memory. This means the plausible
values are available as soon as the PLC is restarted.
Otherwise, with a long scan time selected, the
averaging process would require several minutes to
provide values within range of the recorded signal.

If the PLC is in Halt, the output currents are restricted
to the selected value range accordingly.

Diagnostics

The diagnostics data of the LE 4-206-AA2 is stored
in two diagnostics bytes. The first bytes contains all
signals relating to correct functioning and a general
signal for out-of-range values or wire breakage on an
input.

The second diagnostics byte determines on which
input the wire breakage or out-of-range value has
occurred.

Values not valid (Bit 2)

The local expansion module will make an internal
parameter setting after power is restored; analog

Scaling

A scaled range can be assigned to the the digital
value range. This allows the specific value for the
application to be scanned or output directly.
The scaled values are based on the value range from
0 to 4095 with an input/output current of 0 to
19.99 mA or from 820 to 4095 with a current of 4 to
19.99 mA.
If, for example, a scaled range from –32768 to 32767
was selected for the input signal 0 to 19.99 mA, the
scaled range will be divided into steps of 16.

The following examples show the scaling from 0 to
200 with an input value of 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA.

The maximum scaled range can be defined from
–32768 to +32767.
The difference between the higher and lower value
must be at least “1”.
The higher value must always be "more positive"
than the lower one.
Examples:

Example 1:
Scaling of value range 0 to 4095. In this example “0”
was used for the lower value and 200 for the higher.
