Some explanations are given below for the correct interpretation of these characteristic data.
6.6.1
Full scale value (FSV)
An I/O device with an analog input measures over a nominal measuring range that is limited by an upper and
a lower limit (initial value and end value); these can usually be taken from the device designation.
The range between the two limits is called the measuring span and corresponds to the equation (end value -
initial value). Analogous to pointing devices this is the measuring scale (see IEC 61131) or also the dynamic
range.
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.
Fig. 195: Full scale value, measuring span
For the above
examples
this means:
• Measuring range 0..10 V: asymmetric unipolar, full scale value = 10 V, measuring span = 10 V
• Measuring range 4..20 mA: asymmetric unipolar, full scale value = 20 mA, measuring span = 16 mA
• Measuring range -200..1370 °C: asymmetric bipolar, full scale value = 1370 °C, measuring span =
1570 °C
• Measuring range -10..+10 V: symmetric bipolar, full scale value = 10 V, measuring span = 20 V
This applies to analog output terminals/ boxes (and related Beckhoff product groups).
6.6.2
Measuring error/ measurement deviation
The relative measuring error (% of the full scale value) is referenced to the full scale value and is calculated
as the quotient of the largest numerical deviation from the true value (‘measuring error’) referenced to the full
scale value.
The measuring error is generally valid for the entire permitted operating temperature range, also called the
‘usage error limit’ and contains random and systematic portions of the referred device (i.e. ‘all’ influences
such as temperature, inherent noise, aging, etc.).
It always to be regarded as a positive/negative span with ±, even if it is specified without ± in some cases.
