Channels view parameters - 5094-IY8(XT)

The
Channels
view includes these parameters:
Parameter
Description
Channel
Displays the channel number to which this configuration applies.
Disable
Determines whether channels are disabled. Disable channels to prevent erroneous fault reporting, such as no load or open wire faults, and to prevent the FLT LED for that channel from illuminating.
Input Type
Sets the input type for the channel. Available options are:
  • Voltage
  • Current
  • RTD
  • Thermocouple
Input Range
Sets the input range for the input type. Ranges vary according to the selected
Input Type
.
High Signal
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.
High Signal
must be greater than
Low Signal
.
Low Signal
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.
Units (Signal)
Shows the unit of measurement for
High Signal
and
Low Signal
.
High 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.
Low Engineering
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.
Units (Engineering)
Shows the unit of measurement for
High Engineering
and
Low Engineering
and for the channel’s input value.
Digital Filter
Sets the time constant for a first order lag filter used to smooth noise transients on the input with a range from 0 through 32767. When set to 0, no filtering takes place.
Disable Alarms
Determines whether process alarms are generated.
  • If selected, the device does not generate process alarms.
  • If cleared, the device generates process alarms.
