Input Group (G.IN)
The Input Group includes parameters to select the
input type, define display units, and scale a process
input.
It also contains parameters related to the temperature
reference junction, input filtering, and making input
calibration adjustments.
It is recommended to
begin programming by
configuring the Input Group (G.IN)
.
Changing certain input parameters will reset
most other setup parameters.
Input Type (INP)
The Input Type (INP) parameter is for selecting the
input type. Refer
to Figure 23. Input Type and Range
Selection
to find the parameter setting display
selection for the desired input type.
Unit (UNIT)
UNIT can be set to °C and °F when a thermocouple or
RTD input is selected. The calculation to display each
unit type is done automatically.
For mA, VDC, or mVDC inputs, the units may be set
to °C and °F, %, or no unit (NONE). The selected unit
is displayed, but scaling must be done to properly
read the selected unit.
Decimal Point Position (DP-P)
This parameter sets the number of decimal places to
be used for mA, VDC, and mVDC inputs. It is used for
the display values as well as the scaling parameters
SL-L and SL-H.
