X20AO2632

1 General information
The module is equipped with 2 outputs with 16-bit (including sign) digital converter resolution. It is possible to select
between the current and voltage signal using different terminals.
This module is designed for X20 6-pin terminal blocks. If needed (e.g. for logistical reasons), the 12-pin terminal
block can also be used.
• 2 analog outputs
• Either current or voltage signal possible
• 16-bit digital converter resolution
• NetTime timestamp: Switch-off time
NetTime timestamp for output
For many applications, not only the output value is important, but also the exact switching time. The module is
equipped with a NetTime timestamp function for this that can define a switching time to the nearest microsecond.
The timestamp function is based on synchronized timers. The CPU can predefine output events and provide them
with a timestamp. After transferring the respective data, including the exact time, the module executes the prede-
fined action at the exactly defined time.

8.3.1 Using the module on the bus controller

Function model 254 "Bus controller" is used by default only by non-configurable bus controllers. All other bus
controllers can use other registers and functions depending on the fieldbus used.
For detailed information, see section "Additional information - Using I/O modules on the bus controller" of the X20
user's manual (version 3.50 or later).

8.3.2 CAN I/O bus controller

The module occupies 1 analog logical slot on CAN I/O.

8.4 General information

The module provides 2 analog outputs. Each channel can output a voltage range of ±10 V or a current range of
0 to 20 mA.
The module also has a time-based watchdog monitor. The user can activate this feature channel-by-channel as
needed.

8.5 Analog output - Configuration

Each channel is configured independently. The user can also define an optional time-based monitor. To make this
possible, 2 watchdog timers were implemented, which can be assigned to the outputs.

8.5.1 Setting the channel type

Name:
ConfigOutput01
This register can be used to set the channel type of the outputs.
Each channel is capable of handling either current or voltage signals. The type of signal is determined by the
terminal connections used. Since current and voltage require different adjustment values, it is also necessary to
configure the desired type of output signal. The following output signals can be set:
• ±10 V voltage signal
• 0 to 20 mA current signal
Data type Values Bus controller default setting
UINT See the bit structure. 0

Bit structure:
Bit Description Value Information
0-7 Reserved 0
8 Channel 1 0 Voltage signal (bus controller default setting)
1 Current signal
9 Channel 2 0 Voltage signal (bus controller default setting)
1 Current signal

8.5.2 Configuring the time-based watchdog monitor

Name:
Cfo_Channel01TimeMode to Cfo_Channel02TimeMode
This register is used to activate or configure the time-based watchdog monitor for the analog output channels.
Possibilities per channel:
• Validation timer data type: General choice 16 or 32 bit
• Validation window: The maximum value can be further limited within the data type.
• Timer allocation: A separate timer is available for each channel. However, all channels can be configured
with the same validation timer, whereby the same settings must be made for the data type and window
in the TimeMode registers.

8.6 Analog output - Communication

In standard mode, the module's outputs are enabled. Based on the configuration and AnalogOutput value, they
output the corresponding current or voltage.
If the application requires time-based monitoring of the outputs, then a validation timer can be assigned to each
channel. The validation timer register assigns a validity duration to the current output value. When validation is
enabled, the module compares the validation time with the Nettime of the X2X Link. If the transferred validity
duration is exceeded, the module disables the channel and resets the output. The "safety shutdown" state will not
be reset until a new and valid validation time has been transferred. If enabled, the module reports which state it
is currently in via the channel's error status bit.
If the value of the validation timer is incremented in each task cycle, the valid validation time will be calculated
as follows:
Nettime of the X2X Link master (which the module is connected to)
+ Timespan for transferring data from the X2X Link master to the CPU (higher-level system)
+ Cycle time of task class (including tolerance)
+ Timespan for transferring the data from the CPU to the module
+ Timespan allowed by the application (e.g. for tolerating failure of an X2X Link cycle)
= Valid validation time

The AnalogOutputEnableByte is enabled during time-based monitoring. If the timer expires prematurely, the corre-
sponding bit in the AnalogOutputOkayByte is reset and the output drops out. This provides an easy way to achieve
a defined state.

8.6.1 Output values of the analog outputs

Name:
AnalogOutput01 to AnalogOutput02
These registers provide the standardized output values. Once a permitted value is received, the module outputs
the respective current or voltage.

Information:
The value "0" disables the channel status LED.
Data type Value
INT -32767 to 32767 Voltage
0 to 32767 Current

8.6.2 SDC counter register

Name:
SDCLifeCount
The 8-bit counter register is needed for the SDC software package. It is incremented with the system clock to allow
the SDC to check the validity of the data frame.
Data type Value
SINT -128 to 127

8.6.3 Transfer of the timestamp

Name:
ValidationTimer01 to ValidationTimer02
When an output is being monitored, these registers must provide the timestamp which, when reached, will cause
the output to shut down automatically. The values must be provided as signed 2-byte or 4-byte values.
Data type Values [µs]
INT -32768 to 32767 Nettime timestamp of the current output value
DINT -2,147,483,648 Nettime timestamp of the current output value
to 2,147,483,647

8.6.4 Enabling/disabling the output channels

Name:
AnalogOutput01Enable to AnalogOutput02Enable
AnalogOutput01EnableReadback to AnalogOutput02EnableReadback
The "OutputEnable" byte is only needed for the channels with activated time-based monitoring. The individual bits
are used to enable/disable the respective channels. To receive reliable feedback about the current state of the
module, the byte was also implemented so that it can be read cyclically.

8.6.5 Checking the output values

Name:
AnalogOutput01OK to AnalogOutput02OK
These registers are only needed for channels with activated time-based monitoring. The individual bits report
whether the respective channel is actually generating the required voltage or current.

8.7 Minimum cycle time

The minimum cycle time defines how far the bus cycle can be reduced without communication errors occurring.
It is important to note that very fast cycles reduce the idle time available for handling monitoring, diagnostics and
acyclic commands.
Minimum cycle time
200 µs

8.8 Minimum I/O update time

The minimum I/O update time defines how far the bus cycle can be reduced while still allowing an I/O update to
take place in each cycle.
Minimum I/O update time
