4.3.2
Simulate
When this function is selected, an output of the instrument will be a fixed current value set in % of
the output span. The output span range is -11.25% to 112.5% (2.2 mA to 22.0 mA).
When “Simulate” is selected, regardless of hold setting, the output is always simulated value.
Host devices enables the converter to output simulated mA via MODBUS or HART
communication without changing the actual configuration.
After you activate Simulate, the simulated output can remain even after the power is off.
However, a simulated output via MODBUS or HART communication is deleted when the power
turns off during the simulation.
mA output automatically leads to hold during device configuration. However, when Simulate is
selected, each simulated value is output immediately according to respective configuration.
When mA output is simulated, Check Function occurs.
4.3.3
Configure Hold
On the Configure Hold, you can configure a preset value of mA output at Hold status.
There are two types, automatic or manual hold. Automatic hold holds mA value during the device
configuration, calibration or wash.
During Setting devices, the status is always “hold”, when you cannot set it to disable.
To disable hold during calibration or wash, set “Hold during calibration” to “Disabled.”
Read 3.7
Hold operation (manual Hold)for further information on Hold.
l
Types of value
Set mA output value for hold condition. Default is “Last”, or a value measured just before hold
condition.
Last holds a value measured just before hold condition
Fixed holds a value set in” Fixed value mA”
l
Hold during calibration
Decide whether activate automatic hold during calibration or wash.
Enabled
Activation of the automatic hold function
Disabled
No automatic hold function
During automatic /manual hold, contact output of other than “WASH” or “Fail safe” holds the
status on which the hold started.
NOTE
When a measurement is not capable, “-----.” is displayed. When the error occurs on MODBUS
communication, NaN is displayed. When error setting is other than F or at Burn setting, mA
output (Last/Fixed) is output according to the Hold configuration. See 4.7
