Range
High Range
Value
N/A
For Linear Inputs Only
-
output value that corresponds
to 100% input value
For example:
Actuation Input
= 4-20mA
Process variable = Flow
Range of Flow
= 0 to 250
gal/min
High Range Display Value =
250
Low range Display Value = 0
Then 20mA = 250, 4mA = 0
Enter a value:
±99999 to ±99999
Low Range
Value
N/A
For Linear Inputs Only
-
output value that corresponds
to 0% input value
For example: See “High Range
Value”
Enter a value:
±99999 to ±99999
Settings
Filter Time
(sec
)
N/A
A software digital filter is
provided for the input
designated to smooth the
input. You can configure the
first order lag time constant
from 1 to 120 seconds.
0=no filter
Enter a value:
0 to 120 seconds
Bias
3
Bias is used to compensate
the input for drift of an input
value due to deterioration of a
sensor, or some other cause.
Enter a value:
±9999 to ±99999
