Definition
Valid Values
Chxx.Range
SINT
Channel’s operating range
For 5034-IF4:
  • 0 = -10…10V
  • 1 = 0…5V
  • 2 = 0…10V
  • 4 = 0…20 mA
  • 5 = 4…20 mA
For 5034-IF8C:
  • 4 = 0…20 mA
  • 5 = 4…20 mA
For 5034-IF8V:
  • 0 = -10…10V
  • 1 = 0…5V
  • 2 = 0…10V
Chxx.NotchFilter
SINT
Notch Filter removes line noise for the channel.
  • 0 = 10 Hz
  • 16 = 20 Hz
  • 1 = 50 Hz
  • 2 = 60 Hz
  • 3 = 100 Hz
  • 4 = 200 Hz
  • 20 = 400 Hz
  • 5 = 500 Hz
  • 6 = 1,000 Hz
  • 8 = 5,000 Hz
  • 9 = 10,000 Hz
  • 10 = 15,625 Hz
  • 12 = 31,250 Hz
Chxx.AlarmDisable
BOOL
Disables all alarms on the channel.
IMPORTANT: Consider the following:
  • If you change this tag to 0, that is, so that the alarms are not disabled, you must also enable the individual alarms for them to work.
    For example, if you want to use the Low Low Alarm for a channel, you must set the Chxx.AlarmDisable to 0 and set the Chxx.LLAlarmEn output tag to 1 so that the alarm is enabled.
    This applies to all alarms on the module.
  • Conversely, if you set this tag to 1, alarms are disabled regardless of the setting on the alarm enable tag for any alarm.
0 = Alarms are enabled
1 = Alarms are disabled
Chxx.ProcessAlarmLatchEn
BOOL
Configures Process alarms to latch until they are explicitly unlatched.
The Process alarms include:
  • High High Alarm
  • High Alarm
  • Low Alarm
  • Low Low Alarm
0 = Latching disabled
1 = Latching enabled
Chxx.RateAlarmLatchEn
BOOL
Configures the Rate Alarm to latch until it is explicitly unlatched.
0 = Latching disabled
1 = Latching enabled
Chxx.OpenWireEn
BOOL
Enables the input Open Wire diagnostic.
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
Chxx.Disable
BOOL
Disables the channel.
When a channel is disabled, the following occurs:
  • The I/O status indicator for the channel turns off.
  • The Chxx.Fault input tag is set to 1.
0 = Channel is enabled
1 = Channel is disabled
Chxx.TenOhmOffset
INT
Not Applicable
0
Chxx.DigitalFilter
INT
A non-zero value enables the filter, providing a time constant in milliseconds used in a first order lag filter to smooth the input signal.
0 = Filter is turned off
Any value greater than zero = Filter value in milliseconds
Chxx.LowSignal
REAL
One of four points used in scaling. The low signal is in terms of the inputs signal units and corresponds to the low engineering term when scaled.
Any value less than the high signal in range.
Chxx.HighSignal
REAL
One of four points used in scaling. The high signal is in terms of the inputs signal units and corresponds to the high engineering term when scaled.
Any value greater than the low signal in range.
Chxx.LowEngineering
REAL
One of four points used in scaling. The low engineering helps determine the engineering units the signal values scale into. The low engineering term corresponds to the low signal value.
Any value
Chxx.HighEngineering
REAL
One of four points used in scaling. The high engineering helps determine the engineering units the signal values scale into. The high engineering term corresponds to the high signal value.
Any value
Chxx.LLAlarmLimit
REAL
The Low Low Alarm trigger point. Causes the Chxx.LLAlarm to trigger when the input signal moves beneath the configured trigger point. Value is in terms of engineering units.
Any value
Chxx.LAlarmLimit
REAL
The Low Alarm trigger point. Causes the ChxxLAlarm to trigger when the input signal moves beneath the configured trigger point. Value is in terms of engineering units.
Any value
Chxx.HAlarmLimit
REAL
The High Alarm trigger point. Causes the ChxxHAlarm to trigger when the input signal moves above the configured trigger point. Value is in terms of engineering units.
Any value
Chxx.HHAlarmLimit
REAL
The High High Alarm trigger point. Causes the ChxxHHAlarm to trigger when the input signal moves above the configured trigger point. Value is in terms of engineering units.
Any value
Chxx.RateAlarmLimit
REAL
The Rate Alarm trigger point. Causes the ChxxRateAlarm to trigger when the input signal changes at a rate faster than the configured Rate Alarm. Configured in Engineering Units per second.
0 = Rate Alarm is not used
Any value greater than zero = Trigger point
Chxx.AlarmDeadband
REAL
Allows a process alarm to remain set, despite the alarm condition disappearing, as long as the input data remains within the deadband of the process alarm.
The deadband value is subtracted from the High and High High Alarm Limits to calculate the deadband thresholds for these alarms. The deadband value is added to the Low and Low Low Alarm Limits to calculate the deadband thresholds for these alarms.
Any non-negative value
