  • Channel 1 and channel 2 can be configured here.
  • The Device Setting option will be the starting data register type and number for all analog operations.

Device Setting

  • The device setting designated the starting data register address where the analog value is updated.
  • 20 WORDs are occupied from the starting data register address.
    • Each WORD can read or write data.
    • The remaining offsets not mentioned in the table below are not used.

Enable/Disable

  • To enable the channel for analog input/output, set the value to enabled.
  • To disable the channel for analog input/output, set the value to disabled.

Input

  • The input signal range sets the range for voltage or current input.
  • The ranges are as follows:
    • Voltage:
      • 0V ~ +5V
      • 0V ~ +10V
      • +1V ~ +5V
      • +1V ~ +10V
    • Current:
      • 0mA ~ 20mA
      • 4mA ~ 20mA

Average Count

  • If the analog input value can be filtered by the moving window filtering feature, it is possible to set the number of sampling data in the average count field
  • The number of samples can range from 1 ~ 255.
    • If the averaging count is set to 0, the moving window filtering feature is disabled.

AD Filter Coefficient (%)

  • This is used to set the AD filter coefficient percentage.

AD Max Digit

  • This is the maximum digital value for the analog input.

Stop Mode

  • If the value of the stop value mode is set to hold, the value will be retained when the PLC is switched to STOP mode.
  • If the value of the stop mode is set to clear, the value will NOT be retained when the PLC is switched to STOP mode.

Output

  • The output signal range sets the range for voltage or current output.
  • The ranges are as follows:
    • Voltage: 0V ~ +10V
    • Current: 4mA ~ 20mA

DA Max Digit

  • This is the maximum digital value from the output.

Analog Data Register Offset

  • After selecting the starting data register, the following offsets are used to read/write values:
OffsetDescriptionRangeReadWrite
0Channel 1 AD Input Value0 ~ 4,000 (16,000 SW)
1Channel 2 AD Input Value0 ~ 4,000 (16,000 SW)

Switch Configuration

The PLC-FB1616 series has two sets of switches on either side of the serial communication port.

  • The switch on the right is the important switch.
    • To measure current for either channel 1 or 2, flip respective the switch up (I)
    • To measure voltage for either channel 1 or 2, flip respective the switch down (V).
