will be locked below four milliamperes. If the analog mode is
specified instead, the transmitter will provide a four to
20-milliampere output signal.
Although there are no harmful effects to the transmitter or the
loop, do not connect a transmitter configured for the analog
mode to a field bus. The field bus will not support analog out-
put devices.
Channel Number
The transmitter address (displayed as
CHANNEL #
on the Type
STT terminal display) is used for field bus transmitters. Each
transmitter on the field bus must have a separate address. The
address range is one through 15.
Transmitter Type
This menu displays types of Bailey-Fischer & Porter smart
transmitters. Choose the
PTS
selection by using the up arrow
and down arrow keys and then pressing the ENTER key.
Output Type
The output of the transmitter must be specified as linear with
respect to the input. Also, the output can be specified as the
volume of a spherical or flat ended horizontal tank, or as a
function generator that follows a six-segment linear function.
If a function generator is chosen, five input and output points
must also be specified as a percent of input. Note that the first
and the last point on the curve are assumed to be zero and
100 percent respectively. Program five other points between
these two values (refer to
Output Action
A transmitter in the normal-acting mode has an output that
increases with increasing input. The output of a transmitter in
the reverse acting mode decreases with increasing input.
Damping Adjustment
Damping adjustments have no effect on the calibration or
accuracy of the transmitter; however, damping can be used to
smooth out a fluctuating process signal. Damping is adjust-
able and provides single (1
τ
) time constant values from 0.00 to
32.00 seconds. A damping adjustment of 32.00 seconds would
be used for a very noisy signal and a damping adjustment of
0.00 seconds would be used for an extremely quiet signal.
