Compensation
Temperature and Non-Linear compensation Functions are ONLY available on
Temperature Compensation
This Function provides automatic compensation of measurement variations
caused by changes in the ambient temperature where the measurement
system is used.
Additionally, coefficients of expansion other than aluminum may be
programmed and the resulting measurement compensated for the different
expansion rates based on a temperature sensor inside the Readout.
Use this feature to maintain the highest measurement accuracy possible
when using the ProPanel-HD under wide temperature variations.
This function is configured using
P
ROGRAMMING
P
ARAMETERS
(Pr41 & Pr44)
To activate Temperature Compensation:
1. Set
pr41
to
1
.
2. If necessary, enter the expansion coefficient for the material that the
ProScale aluminum Scale is affixed to with
pr44
.
Use care if changing this setting. It will affect system accuracy!
Note
: Parameters
Pr41

are preset at the factory for
ProPanel-HDE
Non-linear Compensation
The Non-Linear Compensation Function is used to enhance the basic
accuracy of the ProPanel-HDE system by creating a table of correction values
in the Readout, based on known measurement points along the length of the
system. The compensation table consists of up to 126 elements or points.
This function is enabled by setting
P

P
ARAMETERS
(Pr39)

ProPanel HD-E systems are enabled and configured at the
factory. It is not necessary to repeat the error compensation
procedure unless a system component has been replaced
(Readout, Encoder or Scale).
