1734sc-OE2CIH Channel Configuration

Use this tab to configure the Spectrum Controls 1734sc-OE2CIH HART analog output channels.

On this tab, you can:

enable channel

enable HART communication

select output range type

select scaling

select a fault action

select a program action

enter a fault value

enter a program value

Tip
: The module’s configuration information is stored in the controller and the controller configures the module.

Note
: The 1734sc-OE2CIH Owner’s Guide, which is available online by following the hyperlink on the Vendor tab, provides additional configuration information for some of the parameters discussed in this help file.

Enable Channel checkbox

Enables the channel for the selected channel.

Enable HART Communication checkbox

Enables HART communication for the selected channel.

Range Type

Select the channel's output range.

0 mA to 20 mA

4 mA to 20 mA

Scaling

Low Engineering

Enter a value in user engineering units to which the Low Signal should be scaled. All values sent to/from the module are in engineering units.

High Engineering

Enter a value in user engineering units to which the High Signal should be scaled. All values sent to/from the module are in engineering units.

Program Action

While the system is idle or in program mode, the user may choose the behavior of the outputs. Low Clamp uses the Low Clamp Value (see below). If clamping has been disabled, this setting is not allowed. High Clamp uses the High Clamp Value (see below). If clamping has been disabled, this setting is not allowed. Hold Last State will lock the outputs to the last known value while ignoring further changes to output words. Program Value uses the value set by the user (see below)

Low Clamp

High Clamp

Hold Last State

Program Value

This value determines the output during a idle/program condition. The program Value is a signed 16-bit integer. Values may range from 32767 to -32768. It may not exceed the range set by the High/Low Clamp Limits if clamping is enabled.

The Program Value is clipped to the range limits as follows:

0-20mA: 0.0mA -> 21.0mA

4-20mA: 3.0mA -> 21.0mA

Fault Action

During a fault condition, the user may choose the behavior of the outputs. Low Clamp uses the Low Clamp Value. (see below). If clamping has been disabled, this setting is not allowed. High Clamp uses the High Clamp Value (see below). If clamping has been disabled, this setting is not allowed. Hold Last State will lock the outputs to the last known value while ignoring further changes to output words. Fault Value uses the value set by the user (see below).

Low Clamp

High Clamp

Hold Last State

Fault Value

This value determines the output during a fault condition. The fault Value is a signed 16-bit integer. Values may range from 32767 to -32768. It may not exceed the range set by the High/Low Clamp Limits if clamping is enabled.

The Fault Value is clipped to the range limits as follows:

0-20mA: 0.0mA -> 21.0mA

4-20mA: 3.0mA -> 21.0mA

Apply

Click this button to apply your edits on any tab and continue editing.

If:

you are online in Program, Remote Program or Remote Run mode and,

this controller is the owner controller and,

you have changed the module’s configuration in the software, when you click the Apply or the OK button, the information is automatically sent to the controller. The controller tries to send the information to the module (if the module’s connection is not inhibited). If you don’t click Apply, your changes are not sent to the controller.
