Logical channels are active and may affect the processing and control data.
The parameters and blocks of parameters common for active Logical channels :
–

- it gives the name to the logical channel,
–
Unit
- is related with a data source of the channel,
• for Built-in modules it will automatically use a default Unit ,
• for Mode=Set point value and Mode=Controller the Unit can be defined freely,
directly in the Logical Channel menu,
• for other modes the
Unit
can be added only using the
Scaling
parameter (see
below in this
Chapter
for discussion about the
Scaling
parameter),
–
Mode
- in this parameter the user selects the source of the data for the logical
channel. It is possible to select one of ten modes:
• disabled ,
• Hardware input - see Chapter 7.8.2 ,

),
During the device restart, the logical channels, which have the latch function
enabled, are of the value: '
0 ' and on the LCD screen blinking dashes ' ---- ' appear
in place of the value.
