Channels view parameters (output devices)

Channels view parameters (output devices)

The
Channels
view includes these parameters:
Parameter
Description
Channel
Displays the channel number to which this configuration applies.
Disable
Determines whether channels are 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.
Output Type
Sets the output type for the channel. Available options are:
  • Voltage (V)
  • Current (mA)
Output Range
Sets the output range for the output type. Ranges vary according to the selected
Output Type
.
Output State During
Program Mode
Determines channel action when the controller transitions to Program mode.
  • Hold Last State
    causes the output to remain at the last value sent from the controller prior to being placed in Program Mode.
  • User Defined Value
    forces the output to whatever value is entered in the field. The value is entered in the
    Ch0x
    view in the engineering units defined by the scaling parameters for the channel.
Output State During
Fault Mode
Determines channel action when a fault occurs.
  • Hold Last State
    causes the output to remain at the last value sent from the controller prior to loss of communication.
  • User Defined Value
    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.
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
.
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.
Units (Signal)
Shows the unit of measurement for
High Signal
and
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 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.
Units (Engineering)
Shows the unit of measurement for
High Engineering
and
Low Engineering
and for the channel’s input value.
