1) If you use the module in ER-1/ER-2, you must set this parameter to “No” because the interrupt lines are
not available in ER-1/ER-2.
2) Only in the CC (central controller) is it possible to start up the analog modules with the default settings.
3) The limit values must be within the temperature range of the connected sensor.
4) Valid for the format of the output temperature and the dynamic reference temperature
Smoothing of the Measured Values
You fill find information that is generally applicable to the smoothing of analog
values in Section 5.6.
The cycle time of the module is a constant in the SM 431; AI 8 16 Bit that is not
dependent on the number of channels that are enabled. It therefore has no effect
on the step response, which is defined by the parameter assignment of
interference frequency suppression and smoothing.

The following figures illustrate the contents of Table 5-75. They show the response
time required for a step response before the smoothed analog value is almost
applied to 100%. The figures apply to every change of signal at an analog input.
