Configure source button in Profile/timer (cycle counter) menu
There are two methods for configuring Profiles/timers:
– through the Profiles/timers menu, take the following steps: MAIN->Device
configuration->Profiles/timers (see Chapter 7.12. PROFILES/TIMERS ),
– directly in the
Logical channel
in the
Profile/timer
mode by pressing the
Configure source
button.
The configuration of the profile/timer in both cases is the same. The overview of the
profile/timer settings is presented in
Chapter 7.12. PROFILES/TIMERS .
7.8.10. Logical Channels - Data from other channel mode
This mode has 2 applications. We can use this mode to:
– copy a logical channel,
– read the value from a source which has more than one quantity of the output value
(e.g.
FI4
input module has 2 output quantities: flow and total flow) to be able to
display all the possible quantities defined in the logical channel,
The parameters of the Logical channel in the Data from other channel mode should be:
– Name - it gives the name to the logical channel,
– Unit - the unit downloaded from the source logical channel; to change the unit use
the
Scaling
parameter in the
Processing
parameter block (for more information see
Chapter 7.8.1. Logical Channels - General settings
),
– Mode= Data from other channel - in this parameter the user selects the source of
data for the logical channel,
– Source - this parameter allows the user to select a logical channel from the list, the
selected option will be the data source for this logical channel,
–
Quantity
– some modules can return more than one measured quantity (e.g. FI4
input module has 2 output elements: flow and total flow). This parameter allows to
choose one to display.
–
Latch
parameter block - allows the user to set the
latch function
which will hold the
last value of a channel (discussed in Chapter 7.8.1. Logical Channels - General
settings ),
– Processing parameter block - is used for scaling and filtering data (discussed in
Chapter 7.8.1. Logical Channels - General settings )
