Ch0x view parameters (output devices)

Disables the channel when not intended for use. This prevents erroneous fault reporting (for example, no load or open wire) and also prevents the FLT LED for that channel from illuminating.

Sets the output type for the channel. Available options are:

Sets the output range for the output type. Ranges vary according to the selected

Output Type

.

To compensate for any error in actuator operation, the device allows adding an offset to the output channel value sent from the controller. Values are entered in Engineering Units (EU). The default value for the channel offset is 0.0.

Causes the physical output to hold its present state until the value commanded by the controller matches the value at the output screw terminal within 0.1% of full scale. This feature prevents spiking of the output when transitioning into Run mode from Program mode, when recovering from a fault state, or at power up.

Causes the output to remain at the last value sent from the controller prior to being placed in Program mode.

After the defined duration has elapsed, the output goes to the

Final Fault State

value, entered in engineering units.

Forces the output to whatever value is entered in the field. The value is entered in the engineering units defined by the scaling parameters for the channel.

Causes the output to behave as defined by the

Output State in Program Mode

selection.

Causes the output to behave as defined by the

Output State in Fault Mode

selection.

Sets the unit of measure used for the channel.

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

.

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 Signal

is in terms of the input signal units and corresponds to

Low Engineering

when scaled.

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.

Causes the output to remain at the last value sent from the controller prior to loss of communication.

Forces the output to whatever value is entered in the field. The value is entered in the engineering units defined by the scaling parameters for the channel.

Determines the length of time the Fault Value parameter value is held prior to the Final Fault State.

Defines the value, in Engineering Units, to which the output goes after the Fault State Duration time expires.
