The complete user guide for SIMATIC 505 series analog I/O modules focuses on four single width modules (input module PPX: 505-6108A/6108B, output module PPX: 505-62088A/6208B), covering the entire process of module technology principles, installation and wiring, calibration and maintenance, and troubleshooting. All modules are compatible with the Series 505 controller, and the input module supports 8-channel ± 5V/± 10V voltage or 0-20mA current signal acquisition (12 bit resolution for version A and 13 bit resolution for version B). The output module synchronously provides 8-channel 0-10V voltage and 0-20mA current signals (12 bit resolution); Installation must follow shielded twisted pair wiring and terminal block wiring specifications. The input module does not require an external power supply, while the output module requires a 20-28VDC user power supply; Calibration needs to be carried out every 6-12 months to ensure measurement and control accuracy in industrial scenarios. At the same time, solutions such as LED status indication and fuse replacement are used to ensure stable operation of equipment, suitable for industrial analog signal processing scenarios such as pressure, temperature, and flow.

2.2 Module Core Positioning and Advantages
Design features: Single width structure, can directly replace dual width analog modules (without modifying the original wiring), saving controller slot space;
Function positioning: As a bridge between the Series 505 controller and industrial field equipment, the input module collects analog signals from sensors (such as temperature transmitters and pressure sensors) and converts them into digital signals. The output module converts the controller's digital signals into analog signals to drive actuators (such as regulating valves and frequency converters);
Core advantages: Supports multiple signal types, strong anti-interference ability (1500Vrms isolation), easy installation and maintenance, suitable for harsh industrial environments (0-60 ℃ working temperature, 5% -95% non condensing humidity).

3.1.1 Working principle
The module adopts analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) technology to convert continuously changing voltage/current signals into discrete digital quantities:
PPX: 505-6108A: Adopting dual slope integral conversion method, strong anti-interference ability, suitable for low-speed stable signal acquisition;
PPX: 505-6108B: Adopting the successive approximation conversion method, the conversion speed is faster and the resolution is higher, suitable for high-precision dynamic signal acquisition.
Both convert current signals into voltage signals through internal 250 Ω± 0.1% precision resistors, and then perform ADC conversion.

The controller only receives 16 bit digital signals, and the module encapsulates the ADC conversion results into 16 bit words:
PPX: 505-6108A: bits 1-12 are valid data, bit 13 is the sign bit (1=negative, 0=positive), bit 14 is the over range bit (1=over range), bits 15-16 are invalid bits (fixed 0);
