Options analog_channel
Specify the Analog channel number, for example, a2 or a4 (this also applies to
Temperature models).
type
Select the type of input being measured, either Current or Voltag e. The default is
Current.
range
Select the range for the measurement type. For current, the range is:
z0-20 (0-20mA) This is the default.
z4-20 (04-20mA)
For voltage, the range is:
z1 (+/-1V)
z5 (+/-5V)
z10 (+/-10V) This is the default.
z150 (+/-150mV)
z500 (+/-500mV)
alarm
Configures alarm settings when the Analog input trigger is activated.
level
You can specify up to five alarm trigger/clear severity levels. If the Trigger Ty pe is
Low, an alarm is triggered when the input drops below the specified Trigger value;
other severity level trigger values must decrease in value with each subsequent level. If
the Trigger Type is High, an alarm is triggered when the input is higher than the
specified Trigge r value; other severity level trigger values must increase in value with
each subsequent level. To clear an alarm, the input must drop below the specified value
when Trigger Type is High or go above the specified value when Trig ger Typ e is Low.
mode
Enables/disables an alarm level. The default is off.
trigger-type
If the Trigge r Type is Low, an alarm is triggered when the input drops below the
specified Trigge r value; other severity level trigger values must decrease in value with
each subsequent level. If the Trigger Type is High, an alarm is triggered when the input
is higher than the specified Trigger value; other severity level trigger values must
increase in value with each subsequent level.
