Analog Inputs

 

 

ANALOG INPUTS

Depending on the I/O modules you select, the circuit monitor can accept

 

either voltage or current signals through its analog inputs. See Table 5–1 on

 

page 70 for a list of I/O options. The circuit monitor stores a minimum and a

 

maximum value for each analog input.

For technical specifications and instructions on installing I/O modules, refer to the instruction bulletin that ships with the I/O (see Table 1–2 on page 3 for a list of these publications). To set up analog inputs, you must first set it up from the display. From the main menu, select Setup > I/O, then select the appropriate analog input option. For example, if you are using the IOX0404 option of the I/O Extender, select IOX-0404. For detailed instructions, see “Setting Up I/Os” on page 23 in Chapter 3—Operation. Then, in SMS define the following values for each analog input:

Name—a 16-character label used to identify the analog input.

Units—the units of the monitored analog value (for example, “psi”).

Scale factor—multiplies the units by this value (such as tenths or hundreths).

Report Range Lower Limit—the value the circuit monitor reports when the input reaches a minimum value. When the input current is below the lowest valid reading, the circuit monitor reports the lower limit.

Report Range Upper Limit—the value the circuit monitor reports when the input reaches the maximum value. When the input current is above highest valid reading, the circuit monitor reports the upper limit.

For instructions on setting up analog inputs in SMS, see device set up of the circuit monitor in the SMS online help.
