Chxx view parameters (5034-IRT4I)

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 input type for the channel. Available options are:

Displays what type of Cold Junction Compensation that the channel uses.

Sets the wiring configuration for the channel if the Input Type is RTD. Available options are:

2-wire
3-wire

Sets the RTD or Thermocouple sensor type for the channel.

Sets the input range for the input type. Ranges vary according to the selected Input Type and Sensor Type.

When Input Type is set to RTD and the Sensor Type is Ohms, you must determine an input range. For maximum resolution, choose the range that most closely accommodates the anticipated maximum resistance value.

When Input Type is set to RTD and the Sensor Type is not Ohms, displays the resistance range that is used by the module for optimal performance which is based on the selected RTD type.

Sets an offset value within the range from -1.00...+1.00 Ohms.

This value can compensate for any copper RTD errors and is added to the input reading before linearization.

Sets the temperature unit when the Sensor Type is not set to Ohms (for RTD) and not set to mV (for Thermocouple).

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.

Displays 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.

High High Limit
High Limit
Low Limit
Low Low Limit
Rate Alarm Limit
Deadband

Sets the notch filter value, which attenuates the input signal at the specified frequency. Notch filter is based on what noise frequencies are present in the module’s operating environment versus any speed requirements that are needed for control.

Sets the time constant for a first order lag filter that is used to smooth noise transients on the input with a range from 0...32,767 ms. When set to 0 ms, no filtering takes place.

Selects the "Data" value in the input tag when the channel has an open wire condition.

Maximum Engineering
Minimum Engineering

For example, if Maximum Engineering is selected, the maximum engineering that is displayed is used.

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