Auto difference monitoring

With the auto difference monitoring function, a change in pressure from a refer­
ence value is detected. As a result, a maximum permissible pressure drop can be
monitored, for example.
If the input variable is in the work range between [SP.Hi] and [SP.Lo] and is con­
stant, its value is set automatically as the reference value P

Ref

. The output

switches.
A constant input variable is present if the signal change is less than 0.2 % FS dur­
ing the set observation time [t.obs].
The parameter [d.SP] establishes the permissible deviation of pressure from the
reference value and thus the monitoring range. If pressure exceeds or falls below
[d.SP], the output switches back.
