Parameter assignment
7.18 mA output (P201 to P215)
SITRANS Probe LR with mA/HART
Operating Instructions, 05/2019, A5E32337711-AC
55
7.18.2.2
P211 20 mA setpoint (high output)
Note
P211 is used to set the 20 mA loop current for the HART common module.
Sets the process level corresponding to the 20 mA value. 20 mA always defaults to 100%,
and P201 determines whether this is a Level, Space, or Distance measurement. Level and
Space are measured as a percentage of Span: Distance is measured as a percentage of
Empty.
Values
Range
–99999 to 99999
Default
19.56 m (set to 100% as defined by P201:
mA Output Function)
Related parameters
P201: mA Output Function
Enter the reading that is to correspond to a 20 mA output. Use percent or units, depending
on the setting for P051.
7.18.3
mA output limit parameters (P212 and P213)
Note
Factory settings are indicated by an asterisk (*) in the parameter tables, unless explicitly
described.
P212 and P213 allow you to explicitly set a failsafe current outside the normal operating
range.
7.18.3.1
P212 Minimum mA limit
Prevents the mA output from dropping below this minimum level for a measurement value.
This does not restrict the Failsafe or manual settings.
Values
Range
3.8 to 20.5 (mA)
Default
3.8 (mA)
7.18.3.2
P213 Maximum mA limit
Prevents the mA output from rising above this maximum level for a measurement value. This
does not restrict the Failsafe or manual settings.
Values
Range
3.8 to 20.5 (mA)
Default
20.5 (mA)
