Curve
The first time you set up the sensor, PICUS selects the first empty curve for
you to configure. Use
Rename
to ensure that the curve has a descriptive
name. You can configure up to 20 curves.
Alternatively, you can select a curve from the drop-down menu. All of the
curves that are compatible with the function input are listed. When you select
a curve, its configured values replace the x-axis values, the y-axis values,
and the curve points.
INFO
You can also select a
pre-configured
curve, for example
(-100 to
100 %) to (0 to 20mA)
. This type of curve cannot be modified.
If you change the x-axis values, the y-axis values, and/or the curve points
after selecting a curve, PICUS updates the curve with these values when
you
Write
to the controller.
5.
x-axis and y-axis values
Function input (x-axis)
: The first time you set up the sensor, PICUS uses
the analogue input function units and range.
Output type (y-axis)
: The analogue output hardware determines which units
that you can choose, and the range.
6.
Curve points
Create points for the curve to convert the value used by the controller to the
analogue output.
For a valid curve, the x-values of the points must be in ascending order.
7.
Graph
A graphic representation of the curve points.
8.
Actions
Refresh
to reload the input/output configuration from the controller.
Write
to save the input/output configuration to the controller.
9.
Option
Save
* the current changes.
CAUTION
The minimum and maximum output and function input alone do NOT create a straight line graph. You MUST supply
all the points required for the active area of the curve.
*Note:
Save
does not write the configuration to the controller. DEIF recommends that you save regularly if you will
configure several inputs and/or outputs before writing the configuration to the controller.
