5.19.1 Commissioning the SM 431; AI 8 14 Bit
You set the mode of operation of the SM 431; AI 8 14 Bit by means of
measuring range modules on the module and in STEP 7.

Measuring Range Module

A measuring range module of the module matches two channels and one
resistance channel to each type of sensor. If necessary, the measuring range
modules must be replugged to change the measuring method and the measuring
range. The steps you have to perform to do this are described in detail in
Section 5.4.
The corresponding table in Section 5.19.2 tells you which assignment you have to
select for which measuring method and measuring range. In addition, the
necessary settings are embossed on the module.
Parameter
You will find a description of the general procedure for assigning parameters to
analog modules in Section 5.7.
An overview of the parameters that you can set and their default settings are
shown in the table below.
