protocols and fieldbus
Configure and monitor the analog inputs:
Analog Input 1:
click Ai 1 to view the signal type
Input Local/Remote selection button:
click to toggle between using the
signal received at analog input 1 (remote) or the slider (local) to set the set
point.
Reference:
drag the slider, click the increment (+) or decrement (-) buttons
or click one of the three percentages (0%, 50% or 100%) to set the set point
when the set point source is set to local.
Analog Input 2:
click Ai 2 to view the signal type and function
To configure and monitor the power controller:
Power Request:
show the set point signal from analog input 1.
the value is a percent of full scale or can be set with the reference slider
Soft Start Time:
show the time over which set point changes are ramped
Output Scaling:
show the scaling applied to the set point signal before it is used by the control loop
Voltage indicator:
show RMS load voltage
Power indicator:
show RMS load power
Current indicator:
show the RMS load current
Current Limit Set:
indicates the current limit set point
Bakeout button:
click to view and set the heater bake out feature options
Load Calibration:
set and view the nominal line voltage and nominal
load current settings for the application.
