Configuration of 0/4..20 mA Differential Inputs

This section describes the 0/4..20 mA differential inputs for terminal series AKT2G-AN-430.

For the single-ended 20 mA inputs the terminal series AN-430 they only apply with regard to technical transferability and also for devices whose analog input channels have a common related ground potential (and therefore the channels are not to each other and/or not to power supply electrically isolated). Herewith an example for an electrically isolated device is the terminal AN-430.

Technical Background

The internal input electronics of the terminals referred to above have the following characteristic (see Figure 8-13: Internal connection diagram 0/4...20 mA inputs):

Differential current measurement, i.e. concrete potential reference is primarily not required. The system limit applies is the individual terminal AN-430.
Current measurement via a 33 Ω shunt per channel, resulting in a maximum voltage drop of 660 mV via the shunt
Internal resistor configuration with GND point (A) central to the shunt
The configuration of the resistors is symmetric, such that the potential of (A) is central relative to the voltage drop via the shunt.
All channels within the terminal have this GND_int potential in common.
the common GND_int potential (A)
- is connected for 1 and 2 channel terminals to a terminal point and not with GND_PC (power contact).
- is connected for 4 channel terminals with GND_PC
The center point of the voltage drop over the 33 Ω shunt is referred to common mode point (CMP). According to the technical product data, the maximum permitted UCM voltage (common mode) refers to the potential between the CMP of a channel and the internal GND or the potential between the CMP of 2 channels within a terminal.
It must not exceed the specified limit (typically ±10 or ±35 V).

Accordingly, for multi-channel measurements U_CM specifications must be followed.

Figure 8-13: Internal connection diagram 0/4...20 mA inputs

The block diagram for a 2 channel terminal shows the linked GND points within the terminal (Internal connection diagram for 0/4..20 mA inputs of a AKT2G-AN-430):

Figure 8-14: Internal connection diagram for 0/4..20 mA inputs of a AKT2G-AN-430

For all channels within the terminal U_CM-max must not be exceeded.

U_CM for 0/4..20 mA inputs

If U_CM of an analog input channel is exceeded, internal equalizing currents result in erroneous measurements.

For 1 and 2 channel terminals the internal GND is therefore fed out to a terminal point, so that the U_CM specification can be met through application-specific configuration of this GND point, even in cases of atypical sensor A sensor is a type of transducer that converts one type of energy into another for various purposes including measurement or information transfer configuration.

Summary

We recommended connecting GND_int with a low-impedance potential, because this significantly improves the measuring accuracy of the AN-430.
Please note the instructions relating to the U_CM potential reference.
The U_CM potential reference must be adhered to between CMP ↔ GND_int and CMP_ch(x) ↔ CMP_ch(y).
If this cannot be guaranteed, the single-channel version should be used.
Terminal configuration:
- AN-430: GND is connected with the negative power contact. The external connection should be such that condition 2 is met.

If the sensor cable is shielded, the shield should not be connected with the GND_int terminal point but with a dedicated low-impedance shield point.

If terminal points of several AN-430 terminals are connected with each other, ensure that condition 2 is met.

Connection of GND_int

To achieve a precise measurement result GND_int should be connected to a suitable external low-impedance potential, taking account the specifications for U_CM.

In the AN-430 terminals GND_int is already connected with the negative power contact. Here too the specifications for U_CM must be followed.
