Required Transmitter Configuration

Multiple damping parameters

Damping can also be configured for the mass flow and volume flow process variables (see

Section 6.6). If one of these process variables has been assigned to the mA output, a non-zero value is configured for its damping, and added damping is also configured for the mA output, the effect of damping the process variable is calculated first, and the added damping calculation is applied to the result of that calculation. See the following example.

Example

Configuration:

 

•

Flow damping: 1

 

• mA output: Mass flow

 

•

Added damping: 2

As a result:

•A change in mass flow will be reflected in the primary mA output over a time period that is greater than 3 seconds. The exact time period is calculated by the transmitter according to internal algorithms which are not configurable.

4.6Configuring the discrete output(s)

Note: Configure the transmitter channels for the required output types before configuring individual outputs. See Section 4.3.

CAUTION

Changing the channel configuration without verifying I/O configuration can produce process error.

When the configuration of a channel is changed, the channel’s behavior will be controlled by the configuration that is stored for the new channel type, which may or may not be appropriate for the process. To avoid causing process error:

•Configure the channels before configuring the discrete output (see Section 4.3).

•When changing the discrete output configuration, be sure that all control loops affected by this output are under manual control.

•Before returning the loop to automatic control, ensure that the discrete output is correctly configured for your process.

The discrete outputs generate two voltage levels to represent ON or OFF states. The voltage levels depend on the output’s polarity, as shown in Table 4-9.Figure 4-8shows a diagram of a typical discrete output circuit.
