Channels view parameters (5034-IRT4I)

Displays the channel number to which this configuration applies.

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:

Sets the sensor type for the channel if the Input Type is RTD or Thermocouple.

Sets the input range for the input type. Ranges vary according to the selected Input 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 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 temperature unit when the Sensor Type is not set to Ohms (for RTD) and not set to mV (for Thermocouple).

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 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.

Determines whether process alarms are generated or not.

If selected, the module does not generate process alarms.
If cleared, the module generates process alarms.
