    This document discusses analog signal usage in digital controllers. It describes common analog sensor signals like voltage and current signals. It also describes temperature sensors like thermocouples and thermistors that output analog signals. These sensor signals can be directly connected to analog inputs on some controllers where they are converted to digital values using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). For programming, it is more convenient to use physical values like temperature instead of code values, so the code is usually converted back to the physical value. The document includes two exercises to develop equations to convert between code and physical values like temperature based on sensor characteristics.

    Analog signal usage in digital controllers.

    In industry several signal types are used for analog value transmission. The most popular are:
    Voltage signal 0…10V
    Current signal 4…20mA
    To measure temperature the common sensors used are thermocouples (TC output range in mV) and
    thermo-resistor (RTD resistive output range 50 Ω to 1k Ω). These sensor signals also are frequently
    used and can be directly connected to analog inputs of some controllers. ( Nowadays the smart sensors
    with communication interfaces also becomes more and more popular).

    Independent of signal type inside the controller the signal is converted to digital value by analog to
    digital converter (ADC) for example:
    T,0…100°C → 0…10V → 0…32767
    For programming controllers it more convenient to use physical values instead of code. That's why the
    code is usually converted to physical value.
    Exercise 1.
    The linear temperature sensor with measurement range -30°C…+150°C is used.
    At temperature -30°C the code value is 0, but at +150°C code is 30000.

    Find the equation to convert code to Temperature!


    Theory: Linear sensor output could be described by the equation of straight line y=a·x+b,
    in our specific case T=a·C+b, where T-temperature un C-code. The system of equations could be
    written:

    {TT 1=a× C 1+b


    2=a× C 2+b
    Solving the system of equations:
    T 2−T 1
    a= and
    C 2−C 1
    b=T1-a·C1 or b=T2-a·C2.
    Answer: Temperature equation T=

    Use the temperature equation to fill the table:

    Exercise 2

    The industrial temperature sensor (Platinum thermoresistor) is used with linear characteristic:

    Temperature, °C Resistance, Ω
    100 63,99
    50 55,06
    0 46,00
    -50 36,80
    -100 27,44

    And connected to Siemens S7-313C controller resistance measurement input scaling:

    Resistance, Ω Code
    0 0
    450 20736
    600 27648

    Write the equation for calculation of temperature from the code!

    Answer: Temperature equation T=
