DCP200 Profile Controller & Recorder - Product Manual

Display Resolution

The maximum number of digits that can be displayed and/or the maximum number of decimal places. Numeric values (e.g. process variable, setpoints etc) are limited to no more than 5 digits.

The maximum number of decimal places is selectable from 0 to 3 places, but the overall 5- digit limit means that larger values may not display the full number of decimal places. For example, values >99.999 can have no more than 2 decimal places(e.g. 100.00).

Also refer to: LSD

Effective Setpoint

-Refer to Actual Setpoint.

Engineering Units

The Process Variable and Setpoint displays can assigned engineering units to describe the type of parameter connected to the process input. The engineering units for linear inputs can be: °C; °F; °K; bar; %; %RH; pH; psi or none. For temperature inputs (RTD or Thermocouples) they can be °C; °F or °K.

Also refer to: Linear Input, Process Input, Process Variable RTD and Thermocouple

Ethernet

A networking technology for local area networks (LANs). Used to link computers and other equipment in order to control or share data and control such devices. If fitted with an Ethernet serial communications module in Option Slot A, this instrument can connect to a Modbus TCP master device over a wired Ethernet LAN.

Also refer to: Modbus TCP and Serial Communications

Indicator

An instrument that displays process values, but lacks control features. Typically, alarm outputs are available that will activate at preset PV values.

Also refer to: Controller, Limit Controller and Process Variable.

Input Configuration

A sub-menu of Configuration Mode, used to adjust the parameters that relate to the process and auxiliary inputs (type, engineering units, decimal position, scaling, offset, filter auxiliary input settings etc.).

Also refer to: Auxiliary Input, Configuration Mode and Process Input.

Input Filter Time Constant

This parameter is used to filter out extraneous impulses affecting the process variable value. The filtered PV is used for all PV dependent functions (display, control, alarm etc). Use this parameter with care as it will also slow the response to genuine process changes.

Settings = OFF or 0.1 to 100.0 seconds.

Default value = 2.0 seconds.

Also refer to: Process Variable.
