2) Preliminary data

6) Calculated value according to equation in chapter "General information on measuring accuracy/measurement uncertainty" for quick estimation of usability over the specified ambient temperature range in operation (Tambient). In real use, for example at a relatively constant ambient temperature Tambient, a lower (better) achievable uncertainty is attained. A specific calculation according to chapter "General information on measuring accuracy/measurement uncertainty" is recommended, especially if the instrument allows a wider ambient temperature range in operation than 0...55 °C.

Note: In Extended Range Mode the Underrange/Overrange display in the PDO status has the character of an information/warning when the nominal measuring range is exceeded, i.e. no Error is displayed in the PDO status and LED. If the technical measuring range is also exceeded, Error = TRUE is also displayed. The detection limit for Underrange/Overrange Error can be set in the CoE.

In Legacy Range mode, an Underrange/Overrange event also leads to an Error in the PDO status.

Note: The channel also works in electrically bipolar mode and records negative values in the unipolar measuring ranges (measurement from 0 V, 0 mA, 4 mA, 0 Ω). This enables the channel to provide a precise diagnosis even with signals < 0. In these measuring ranges the limit value for the "Underrange Error" in Extended Mode is -1% of the full scale value (FSV). The limit value can be set in CoE object 0x80n0:32. This avoids irritating error messages if the channel is not wired (e.g. without sensor) or the electrical signal fluctuates slightly around zero. The process data value of 0x00000000 is not undershot.

If the "UnderrangeError" detection is to be set even less sensitive, the magnitude of the negative limit value in the CoE object referred to above can be set even higher.

Legacy Range mode is not available for this measurement range. The Extended Range Mode will be set automatically and although a corresponding write access to the CoE Object 0x8000:2E (Scaler) is not declined, the parameter is not changed.
