Analog I/O Module Tag Definitions
Appendix A
Ch[x]. TempEnglish
BOOL
Used with the TempAbsolute tag for the same channel to
determine the temperature units for the channel when
linearizing (non-zero sensor type).
•
0 = Standard (default)
•
1 = English
IMPORTANT
: The combination of
this value with that of the
TempAbsolute tag value determine
the temperature unit used.
For example, if TempEnglish = 0
and TempAbsolute = 0, the
combination is 00.
Thus, Celsius units are used.
The following combinations are
possible:
•
00 = Celsius
•
01 = Fahrenheit
•
10 = Kelvin
•
11 = Rankine
Ch[x].TempAbsolute
BOOL
Used with the TempEnglish tag for the same channel to
determine the temperature units for the channel when
linearizing (non-zero sensor type).
•
0 = Familiar (default)
•
1 = Absolute
IMPORTANT
: See the TempEnglish
tag Valid Values description for
more information on using this tag’s
value.
Ch[x].FourWireRTD
BOOL
Sets what type of RTD, that is, 3-wire or 4-wire, is
connected to the channel.
•
0 = 3-wire RTD (default)
•
1 = 4-wire RTD
Ch[x].SynchronizeSampling
BOOL
Determines if the sampling of the channel is synchronized
with other channels configured for synchronized
sampling.
•
0 = Not synchronized (default)
•
1 = Synchronized
Ch[x].TenOhmOffset
INT
Specific offset for 10 Ohm Copper Sensor Type.
Value is measured in
Hundredths of Ω
with two implied
decimal places.
-100…100 in hundredths of Ω
0 = default
Ch[x].DigitalFilter
INT
Time Constant for a First Order Lag filter.
0…32,767 ms
0 = default
Ch[x].RateAlarmLimit
REAL
Rate of change in Engineering Units/Second
If the absolute value of the change between samples
divided by the sample time exceeds this value, the
I.Ch[x].RateAlarm
tag is sets.
Any positive value
0.0 = default (This value represents
no change between samples.)
Ch[x].LowSignal
REAL
Signal scaling value that lets you scale signal units (mV, Ω,
°F or °C) into Engineering Units.
Corresponds to the
C.Ch[x].LowEngineering
tag. That is,
this tag’s value is scaled to the lowest Engineering Unit.
Any value that is less than the
C.Ch[x].HighSignal
tag value.
0 = default
Ch[x].HighSignal
REAL
Signal scaling value that lets you scale signal units (mV, Ω,
°F or °C) into Engineering Units.
Corresponds to the
C.Ch[x].HighEngineering
tag. That is,
this tag’s value is scaled to the highest Engineering Unit.
Any value that is greater than the
C.Ch[x].LowSignal
tag value.
100.0 = default
Ch[x].LowEngineering
REAL
Low engineering scaling point
Corresponds to the
C.Ch[x].LowSignal
tag value.
0.0 = default
This value can correspond to signal
values in units or temperature.
Ch[x].HighEngineering
REAL
High engineering scaling point
Corresponds to the
C.Ch[x].HighSignal
tag value.
100.0 = default
This value can correspond to signal
values in units or temperature.
Ch[x].LLAlarmLimit
REAL
Low Low Process Alarm limit
Triggers the
I.Ch[x].LLAlarm
tag when the
I.Ch[x].Data
tag
value is less than this tag’s value.
0.0 = default
