Ch0x view parameters (5069-IY4)

The
Ch0x
view for 5069-IY4 includes these parameters:
Parameter
Description
Disable Channel
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 FLT LED for that channel from illuminating.
Input Type
Sets the input type for the channel. Available options are:
  • Voltage (V)
  • Current (mA)
  • RTD
  • Thermocouple
Sensor Type
Sets the sensor type for the channel if the
Input Type
is RTD or Thermocouple.
Input Range
Sets the input range for the input type. Ranges vary according to the selected
Input Type
.
Input range values are as listed:
  • -10…10V
  • 0…5V
  • 0…10V
  • 0…20 mA
  • 4…20 mA
  • -100...100 mV
  • 1…487 Ohm 2-Wire
  • 2…1,000 Ohm 2-wire
  • 4…2,000 Ohm 2-wire
  • 8…4,000 Ohm 2-wire
  • 1...487 Ohm 3-wire
  • 2…1,000 Ohm 3 wire
  • 4…2,000 Ohm 3-wire
  • 8…4,000 Ohm 3-wire
When
Input Type
is set to RTD and the
Sensor Type
is Ohms, determines an input range. For maximum resolution, choose the range that most closely accommodates the anticipated maximum resistance value.
For an RTD
Input Type
, when the
Sensor Type
is not ohms, shows the resistance range used by the device for optimal performance based on the selected RTD type. These ranges are read-only and cannot be changed.
Temperature Units
Sets the temperature unit for sensor types (ohms and mV).
10 ohms Copper Offset
For an RTD input type with the
Sensor Type
set to
10Ω CU 427
, sets an offset value that is within the range from -1.00 through 1.00 ohms.
This value can compensate for any Copper RTD errors and is added to the input reading before linearization.
Engineering Units
Sets the unit of measure used for the channel.
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
.
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 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.
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.
Notch Filter
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 device’s operating environment versus any speed requirements needed for control.
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.
Enable Open Wire Detection
Detects whether the signal wire is disconnected from the channel or the RTB is removed from the device.
Diagnostics
Opens
Channel0x Diagnostics
to view diagnostics information for the channel.
