IanalogRead2f()
IanalogRead2f() converts the 4~20mA input value to the specified floating-point range.
float IanalogRead2f(uint8_t ch, float min, float max)
Commands
| Command | Arguments | Return Value | Operation |
|---|---|---|---|
IanalogRead2f(ch, min, max) | uint8_t ch — MPINO: analog pin such as A0; MPAINO: overall module channel number starting at 0float minfloat max | float | Converts the 4~20mA input value to the specified floating-point range. |
Example
Connect an X input module to MPAINO-8A8R(T) and select Analog Input Module → X. Set CH0 DIP switches 20mA and GND to ON, then connect the 4–20mA signal.
void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); } void loop() { const float value = IanalogRead2f(0, 4.0F, 20.0F); // Scale the CH0 4–20mA input to milliamps. if (value == (float)ANALOG_READ2_ERROR) { Serial.println(F("4-20mA input error")); } else { Serial.println(value, 2); } delay(500); }
Precautions
- Set the MPAINO X module CH0 DIP switches 20mA and GND to ON, and wire the current input with the correct polarity.
- An input of approximately 3.6~4.0mA returns the normal value
0; inputs below 3.6mA return an error value. - Error values help detect open circuits. The user must implement final alarms and safety actions in the program.
IanalogRead2()andIanalogRead2f()also return65535on error, rather than a user-range value. Check for errors before using the result.- The full
int32_trange is available formin~maxinIanalogRead2(), but if the normal range includes65535, it cannot be distinguished from an error value. analogRead2Avgf()uses state and a buffer separate fromanalogRead2Avg(). Using both increases SRAM usage.- If
samplesis0or memory allocation fails inanalogRead2Avgf(), it returns the current valid corrected value as afloat. - On MPINO, do not use
analogRead2()on voltage/NTC channels that are not 4~20mA inputs. - For MPINO products requiring
analogReference(EXTERNAL), set it first insetup(). IanalogWrite2()andIanalogWrite2f()are convenience outputs dedicated to 4~20mA. Avoid alternating them withIanalogWrite()on the same channel.- The analog output circuit requires an external 12~24V supply. USB power alone may not provide normal output.
- Verify actual current input/output with measuring instruments after preparing a test product.
