2.3Basic function principles
The KL3356 Analog Input Terminal is used to acquire the supply voltage to a load cell as a reference
voltage, and simultaneously the differential voltage that is proportional to the force acting on the cell. The
reference and the differential voltages are measured alternately by the same converter. The quotient of the
differential and the reference voltages corresponds to the force that is acting on the load cell. Deviations in
the analog input stages (temperature drift, long-term drift etc.) are checked by regular calibration, and
compensated to bring the measurement within the permitted tolerance range.
Strain gauge measuring signal
The strain gauge measuring signal is acquired at fixed intervals with a resolution of 16bits (+ sign). This
value is saved as a data word, without sign, in register R2 [}44]. The sign is represented in bit SW.0 [}44]
of the status word.
The length of the sampling interval is directly determined by the filter constant in register R37 [}48].
KL3356 and KS335610Version: 2.4.0
Product overview
Strain gauge reference signal
The strain gauge reference signal is also acquired with a resolution of 16bits (+ sign) at longer intervals.
This value is saved as a data word, without sign, in register R3 [}45]. The sign is represented in bit SW.1[}44] of the status word.
The length of the sampling interval is defined, in multiples of 100ms, in register R39 [}49].
Calculating the weight
Every time the analog signal is acquired, the weight that it indicates is calculated. This is composed of the
ratio between the measuring signal and the reference signal, and of a number of calibrations:

The factor of 1000 in formula 1.0 [}11] results from normalizing the units of the nominal weight [kg] and the
nominal parameter [mV/V]. The factor 1/500 is specified through a voltage divider. The result is written into
the terminal's process image with a resolution of 16bits (+ sign). This value is saved as a data word, without
sign, in register R1 [}44]. The sign is represented in bit SB1.0 [}38] of the status byte.
Operation modes
The KL3356 provides different operation modes:
KL3356 and KS335611Version: 2.4.0
Product overview
Operation modeComment
Normal operationMeasuring the force acting on the load cell
Zero calibrationThe DC voltage potential at the inputs to the operational amplifier corresponds to that of
normal operation. The differential voltage at the two operational amplifier inputs is 0mV
(determination of the zero points).
Final calibrationThe DC voltage potential at the inputs to the operational amplifier corresponds to that of
normal operation. The divided cell supply voltage (R114, R115, R151) is applied as a
differential signal to both the operational amplifier inputs (determination of the
amplification factors).
Null-test (0V)The DC voltage potential at the operational amplifier inputs is set to 0V. The differential
voltage at the two operational amplifier inputs is 0mV (first stage in establishing the
Common Mode Rejection of the operational amplifiers).
Null-test (2.5V)The DC voltage potential at the operational amplifier inputs is set to 2.5V. The
differential voltage at the two operational amplifier inputs is 0mV (second stage in
establishing the Common Mode Rejection of the operational amplifiers).
Reference testThe DC voltage potential at the inputs to the operational amplifier corresponds to that of
half the reference voltage. The divided reference voltage (R114, R115, R151) is applied
as a differential signal to the two operational amplifier inputs (measurement of the
reference voltage).
Switch settings
The various operation modes are selected by means of internal switches:
• Switch SW1 is switched by bit R32.7 [}47] of the feature register, and is to be closed for all calibration
processes:
- R32.7 = 0: SW1 open
- R32.7 = 1: SW1 closed
• If manual calibration mode is enabled in the command register R7 [}45] you can control switches
SW2 to SW8 by means of the output data word RegOUT [}36].

Calibrating the measuring amplifiers
The measuring amplifiers are periodically subjected to examination and calibration. For this purpose a total
of eight analog switches are provided in order to be able to connect the various calibration signals. It is
important for this process that the entire signal path, including all passive components, is examined at every
phase of the calibration. Only the interference suppression elements (L/C combination) and the analog
switches themselves cannot be examined.
The calibration interval is set in register R40 [}49] in steps of 100ms. The test interval is specified in
register R41 [}50] as a multiple of the calibration interval.
KL3356 and KS335612Version: 2.4.0
Product overview
• In the first phase of the calibration, an input voltage of 0mV is applied to both analog inputs (zerocalibration [}11]). The zero points of both analog input stages can be determined in this way. This
involves a system offset calibration of the A/D converter. In this measurement, both the respective
absolute values and the mutual deviation of the channels are of interest.
• An input voltage of approx. 24mV is applied to both analog inputs in the second phase of the
calibration (final calibration [}11]). This is derived from the power supply to the load cell. At this point
the absolute value of the measurements is no longer an interest, only any possible deviation of the
values for the two analog inputs. The gain of the first channel is adjusted here to match that of the
second channel. The important point is that the calibrations are carried out using the same DC voltage
potential at the inputs to the operational amplifiers, as in a normal measuring operation.
Calibrating the input stages at both working points (the zero point and the final value) allows the straight lines
of the two measuring channels to be adjusted to one another so that they are congruent.
Fig.2: Characteristic curves for calibration
If the terminal is carrying out a calibration, bit R0.2 [}44] is set in register 0 (the status word).
Testing the measuring amplifiers
In order to be able also to test the function of the analog input circuits and the source of the reference
voltage, it is also possible, in addition to the calibration described, to connect the internal reference voltage
signal of 2.5V as the input signal. For this purpose, before measuring the reference voltage itself, a
difference voltage signal of 0V with a DC voltage potential of 0V is applied. Measurement of the 0V
differential signal combined with a DC voltage potential of 2.5V is then carried out. With the aid of the
measured values resulting from this, the CommonMode effect of the two input stages at an input voltage of
1.25V can be calculated, and can be taken into account in the subsequent measurement of the reference
voltage. When measuring the source of the reference voltage, both operational amplifiers must deliver the
same measuring signal, in addition to which it must also be possible to predict the value to within a very tight
tolerance. If this tolerance is exceeded, the situation is classified as a hardware defect, and is indicated in bit
SW.8 [}44] of the status word.
If the terminal is carrying out a test, bit R0.2 [}44] is set in register0 (the status word).
KL3356 and KS335613Version: 2.4.0
Product overview
Initiating the calibration or test
The calibration and test procedures are executed by the terminal automatically after the times specified in
registers R39 to R41 [}49] have elapsed. Bit CB1.1 [}38] of the control byte can be used to block the
automatic calibration (this command is acknowledged in bit SB1.1 [}38] of the status byte) in order to
prevent calibration from taking place during a time-critical measurement. So that calibration is not completely
suppressed in this way, the KL3356 monitors the calibration cycle, and autonomously starts a forced
calibration if the block remains in place for too long. The time after which the terminal will carry out this
forced calibration is specified in register R44 [}50] as a multiple of register R40 [}49]. At each
measurement, the reference voltage is compared with the contents of register R45 [}50] (in units of 1mV).
If it is found to be below this limit, bit R0.14 [}44] is set.
If it is necessary to initiate a test manually, it is started by bit CB1.0 [}38] of the control byte. Completion of
a test is signaled by bit R0.4 [}44] in register R0 (the status word). The result of the last test is represented
by a difference in the two analog inputs, and can be placed into registers R1 [}44] to R3 [}45] and R5[}45] by bit CB1.2 [}38] of the control byte. Valid calibration data is present if bit R0.5 [}44] in register 0
(status word) is set to 1
. Register write protection can be set by bit CB1.3 [}38] to prevent the calibration
bin
data from being modified (this is acknowledged by bit SB1.3 [}38])
Manual operation
• Under some circumstances it may be necessary to observe the values from the A/D converter directly.
For this purpose the terminal can be switched to manual operation. To do this, first enter the user code

you enter the value 0 into register R7, manual operation is halted once more.
In manual operation, the value in the RegOUT [}36] output word returns the setting of the input switches
(see table of Switch settings [}12]). You can use bit CB1.1 [}38] of the control byte to switch between OP1
and OP2 (CB1.1=0
: OP1; CB1.1 =1
bin
: OP2).
bin
A forced calibration is automatically carried out as soon as you return the terminal to normal operation again.
Error diagnosis
The KL3356 offers internal error diagnosis. The upper 8bits of register R0 [}44] (the status word) indicate
errors that have occurred.
So that the user does not have to keep reading register R0, any change in the error bits (if, for instance, a
new error has occurred or if an existing error has been cleared) is indicated in bit SB1.6 [}38] of status byte
1. All errors that have occurred are temporarily stored, and are not cleared by the terminal on its own
account. By setting bit CB1.6 [}38] in control byte1 you can reset error bit SB1.6 [}38].
Measured value stabilization
During self-calibration, various signals are switched internally as described above. After the self-calibration
has been completed, depending on the setting of R32.9 (stabilization of the calibration), the following
behavior occurs:
- Stabilization active (R32.9 = 1): the terminal waits until the signal has stabilized as specified in register R47/
R48 and only then outputs measured values to the bus again - this extends the pause until the terminal
measures again and can cause the terminal to wait until measurement in the event of an unstable input
signal.
- Stabilization inactive (R32.9 = 0): the terminal immediately switches the measuring signal back to the bus this can lead to a swing-in process being observed in the measured value over several cycles.

Mounting and wiring
3Mounting and wiring
3.1Installation on mounting rails
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and damage of device!
Bring the bus terminal system into a safe, powered down state before starting installation, disassembly or
wiring of the bus terminals!
Assembly
Fig.4: Attaching on mounting rail
The bus coupler and bus terminals are attached to commercially available 35mm mounting rails (DIN rails
according to EN60715) by applying slight pressure:
1. First attach the fieldbus coupler to the mounting rail.
2. The bus terminals are now attached on the right-hand side of the fieldbus coupler. Join the components with tongue and groove and push the terminals against the mounting rail, until the lock clicks
onto the mounting rail.
If the terminals are clipped onto the mounting rail first and then pushed together without tongue and
groove, the connection will not be operational! When correctly assembled, no significant gap should
be visible between the housings.
Fixing of mounting rails
The locking mechanism of the terminals and couplers extends to the profile of the mounting rail. At
the installation, the locking mechanism of the components must not come into conflict with the fixing
bolts of the mounting rail. To mount the mounting rails with a height of 7.5mm under the terminals
and couplers, you should use flat mounting connections (e.g. countersunk screws or blind rivets).
KL3356 and KS335616Version: 2.4.0
Mounting and wiring
Disassembly
Fig.5: Disassembling of terminal
Each terminal is secured by a lock on the mounting rail, which must be released for disassembly:
1. Pull the terminal by its orange-colored lugs approximately 1cm away from the mounting rail. In doing
so for this terminal the mounting rail lock is released automatically and you can pull the terminal out of
the bus terminal block easily without excessive force.
2. Grasp the released terminal with thumb and index finger simultaneous at the upper and lower grooved
housing surfaces and pull the terminal out of the bus terminal block.
Connections within a bus terminal block
The electric connections between the Bus Coupler and the Bus Terminals are automatically realized by
joining the components:
• The six spring contacts of the K-Bus/E-Bus deal with the transfer of the data and the supply of the Bus
Terminal electronics.
• The power contacts deal with the supply for the field electronics and thus represent a supply rail within
the bus terminal block. The power contacts are supplied via terminals on the Bus Coupler (up to 24V)
or for higher voltages via power feed terminals.
Power Contacts
During the design of a bus terminal block, the pin assignment of the individual Bus Terminals must
be taken account of, since some types (e.g. analog Bus Terminals or digital 4-channel Bus Terminals) do not or not fully loop through the power contacts. Power Feed Terminals (KL91xx, KL92xx
or EL91xx, EL92xx) interrupt the power contacts and thus represent the start of a new supply rail.
PE power contact
The power contact labeled PE can be used as a protective earth. For safety reasons this contact mates first
when plugging together, and can ground short-circuit currents of up to 125A.
KL3356 and KS335617Version: 2.4.0
Mounting and wiring
Fig.6: Power contact on left side
NOTE
Possible damage of the device
Note that, for reasons of electromagnetic compatibility, the PE contacts are capacitatively coupled to the
mounting rail. This may lead to incorrect results during insulation testing or to damage on the terminal (e.g.
disruptive discharge to the PE line during insulation testing of a consumer with a nominal voltage of 230V).
For insulation testing, disconnect the PE supply line at the Bus Coupler or the Power Feed Terminal! In order to decouple further feed points for testing, these Power Feed Terminals can be released and pulled at
least 10mm from the group of terminals.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
The PE power contact must not be used for other potentials!
