= 3...30: Look-up table with 3 to 30 pairs of values
The tables generated by functions FFFF = 0, FFFF = 1 and
FF
FF
= 2 are not visible. For these functions, internal values are used for table computation. These values cannot be modified directly in the table by the user.
For all conversion functions, when the actual pressure
is equal to the MMMMAAAA value, the output signal will be at the
lowest end of its range (0 V, 0 mA or 4 mA). When the
actual pressure is equal to the MMMMEEEE value, the output signal will be at the highest end of its range (10 V or 20
mA). The user can enter only the 1...28 intermediate va-
lues of the look-up table function FFFF = 3....30. The para-
meters MMMMAAAA and MMMMEEEE relate to the start and end values of
the look-up table. A change in either of these parameter
values causes the conversion function to be re-set to
FF
FF
= 0.
Whenever the value of FFFF is changed, the
instrument internally generates a new
look-up table. All previous table values
are deleted and replaced by new linear progression values.
5.3.7 Look-up Table Programming (F = 3..30)
If the value of set-up parameter FFFF is selected equal to or
greater than 3, a sub-menu LLLLIIIInnnn is invoked. Through this
sub-menu all the required look-up table values can be
entered, except the first and last pairs of table values
(respectively corresponding to MMMMAAAA and MMMMEEEE). This submenu has its own entry and exit points, the latter being
the last of the value pairs to be entered. The table is
stored only when the user exits to the sub-menu prompt
LLLLIIIInnnn, by pressing
. If the table is not correctly entered,
the display will indicate EE
EE
rr
rr
rrrr, indicating an error condition. If this happens, it is not possible to exit this submenu mode until the error is corrected.
The table entries consist of 1 to 28 pairs of values. Values IIII00002222 through IIII22229999 (or uuuu00002222 through uuuu22229999) specify the
amplitude of the out the signal output, and the values
PPPP00002222 through PPPP22229999 are the corresponding pressure values.
Entering or changing table values through the instrument's membrane keyboard is a tedious and error-prone method. It should only be used as a stopgap method
when a PC and/or the PC interface module is not
available.
The table is accepted as correct if each output value is
larger than its preceding value. Pressure values can be
steadily increasing or steadily decreasing. However, a
transition from falling to rising pressure values is not
permitted; nor are pressure values allowed to turn back
along the same curve.
5.3.8 Limit Setting
The two limit switching outputs
(relay contacts or
solid-state switches) are each configured by four set-up
parameters:
Switching output 1 is configured by parameters RRRR1111AAAA,
RRRR1111EEEE, RRRR1111DDDD and RRRR1111FFFF .
Switching output 2 is configured by parameters RRRR2222AAAA,
RRRR2222EEEE, RRRR2222DDDD and RRRR2222FFFF.
The turn-on and turn-off points of switching output 1 are
defined respectively by parameters RRRR1111AAAA and RRRR1111EEEE. The va-
lues for these are set in the currently valid unit of measurement (indicated by the lighted symbol to the right of
the digital display).
The two parameters RRRR1111AAAA and RRRR1111EEEE together determine the
logic of switching output 1:
If RRRR1111AAAA is smaller than RRRR1111EEEE, the output turns on when the
measured value exceeds RRRR1111EEEE. It turns off again only
when the measured value falls below RRRR1111AAAA (hysteresis
function).
If RRRR1111AAAA and RRRR1111EEEE have the same value, there is no hysteresis: the switching output turns on when the measured
value exceeds RRRR1111AAAA / RRRR1111EEEE, and turns off again when the
measured value falls below RRRR1111AAAA / RRRR1111EEEE.
If RRRR1111AAAA is larger than RRRR1111EEEE, the switching output turns on
when the measured value falls between RRRR1111AAAA and RRRR1111EEEE:
i.e., when RRRR1111EEEE < measured value < RRRR1111AAAA (window limit
function).
Both parameters can be independently adjusted over
the full measuring range.
If the unit of measurement is changed, the switching
points are changed accordingly. In this event, rounding
error can cause a deviation in the least significant (rightmost) digit.
The value of the set-up parameter RRRR1111DDDD determines the
delay time for switching output 1, after the measured
value reaches the switching point. The delay value can
be selected in the range 0.0 to 100.0 secs. This value
applies equally to turn on and turn off.
The set-up parameter RRRR1111FFFF determines the action of the
switching output. If RRRR1111FFFF = 1, the switching output acts as
normally open (NO) contacts. If RRRR1111FFFF = 2, it acts as nor-
mally closed (NC) contacts.
5.3.9 Password
The last set-up parameter allows a password to be entered. A password value of 001 to 999 can be selected.
A value of 000 disables the password function.
If a password was set previously the digital display indicates PPPPAAAASSSS after EEEESSSScccc is displayed and
is pressed. The
password is then entered, by pressing and then , .
Only then will the set-up menu options be accessible. If
an incorrect password is entered, the display jumps
