INPUT ALGORITHM

 

 

Standard or Custom

 

 

This prompt appears only if “CUSTOM INPUT” is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

enabled under Enable Features in the Program

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mode Menu (Section 0). If “CUSTOM INPUT” is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

disabled you will see the Standard prompts (Table

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4-6).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Standard lets you choose a thermocouple, RTD,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EMF, or pyrometer type. The Standard prompts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

are shown in Table 4-6.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Custom lets you convert the input from a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thermocouple or EMF to engineering units using a

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

custom curve containing up to 20 points.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Standard algorithm prompts

Table 4-6 describes all the prompts associated with the standard algorithm. These are the default prompts for analog input programming. See Table 4-2 for additional prompts.

INPUT TYPE

 

 

See Table 1-3 for selections. The

 

 

Input type (thermocouple, RTD, pyrometer)

 

 

 

 

 

default type is OFF.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RANGE LOW

 

 

The value must be within the limits

 

 

Low end of the input range.

 

 

 

 

 

specified for the input type (see Table

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1-3). Be sure to use the correct value

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for the temperature units used (°F, °C,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

K, °R). To enter the full range for the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

temperature units selected (see

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TEMPERATURE UNITS), select TYPE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

again and press Enter without changing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the range type.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RANGE HIGH

 

 

The value must be within the limits

 

 

High end of the input range.

 

 

 

 

 

specified for the input type (see Table

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1-3). Be sure to use the correct value

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for the temperature units used (°F, °C,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

K, °R). To enter the full range for the

TEMPERATURE UNITS), select TYPE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

again and press Enter without changing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the range type.
