Data Sheet Analog Input 23AE21 RTU560

The analog input board 23AE20 can carry out the fol-
lowing processing functions on the measured val-
ues:
V Zero point monitoring
V Switch- -over recognition
V Smoothing
V Threshold value monitoring on absolute
value or with accumulation and periodic
background transmission.
V Limit value monitoring with event recording
Measuring range and line frequency are easily to
configure by switch registers respectively jumpers.
The microcontroller needs these configurations pa-
rameters to setup the AD-converter.
The microcontroller controls the A/D converter and
executes all of the processing functions of the con-
figured measured values within the conversion time.
Furthermore the microcontroller is responsible for in-
teractive communication with the RTU560 system
bus. All configuration characteristics and proces-
sing parameters are downloaded from the CMU via
the RTU system bus.
During initialization and operation the board carries
out a number of tests. If a fault occurs it is reported to
the CMU. All fault conditions impairing the function of
the board are displayed as common fault signal with
a light emitting diode (ST) on the front panel. A failure
of the board is detected by the CMU.
