Chxx view parameters (5034-OF4IH)

Determines whether the channel is disabled. Disable channels to prevent erroneous fault reporting, such as No Load or Open Wire faults, and to prevent the fault indication from the channel status indicator.

Sets the output type for the channel. Available options are:

Sets the output range for the output type. Ranges vary based on the selected Output Type.

Enables communication to HART devices.

To compensate for any error in actuator operation, the module allows an offset to be added to the output channel value sent from the controller. Values are entered in Engineering Units (EU). The default value for the channel offset is 0.0.

When set, configures the channel to hold, or not change, until initialized with a value within 0.1% of full scale of its current value when one of the following conditions occurs.

Module initial connection (powerup)
Controller transition from Program Mode back to Run Mode
Module re-establishes communication after a fault
SA power is restored after being lost.

Enables the detection of whether a load has been disconnected.

If selected, the module detects when a wire is disconnected from the channel or a missing load for the output channel.
If cleared, the module does not detect when a wire is disconnected from the channel or a missing load for the output channel.

Sets one of the four constants in the scaling equation. High Signal is in terms of the input signal units and corresponds to High Engineering when scaled.

Sets one of the four constants in the scaling equation. Low Signal is in terms of the input signal units and corresponds to Low Engineering when scaled.

Sets the unit of measurement for High Engineering and Low Engineering.

Sets one of the four constants in the scaling equation. High Engineering corresponds to High Signal and helps determine the engineering units that the signal values scale into.

Sets one of the four constants in the scaling equation. Low Engineering corresponds to Low Signal and helps determine the engineering units that the signal values scale into.

Recalculates new values to the following configuration parameters in Engineering Units based on the new Scaling constants.

Low Clamp
High Clamp
User Defined Value in Program Mode
User Defined Value in Fault Mode
Final Communication Fault State Value
Ramp Rate
Channel Offset

Determines channel action when the controller transitions to Program Mode or Inhibit mode.

Hold Last State causes the output to remain at the last value that is sent from the controller before being placed in Program Mode or Inhibit mode.
User Defined Value forces the output to whatever value is entered in the field. The value is entered on Chxx in the engineering units defined by the scaling parameters for the channel.

Determines channel action when a communication fault occurs.

Hold Last State causes the output to remain at the last value that is sent from the controller before loss of communication.
User Defined Value forces the output to whatever value is entered in the field. The value is entered in the engineering units defined by the scaling parameters for the channel.

Determines the length of time the FaultValue value is held before the FinalFaultState.

Defines the value, in Engineering Units, to which the output goes after the Communication Fault State Duration time expires.

Accesses the Diagnostics dialog, which contains diagnostics information for the channel.
