PD6210 Analog Input Batch Controller Instruction Manual

Programming the Batch Controller (
prog
)
It is
very important
to read the following information, before proceeding to program the controller:
•
The PD6210 is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read in milliamps and volts depending on the
input selection. The calibration equipment is certified to NIST standards.
•
Use the
Scale
menu to scale process inputs without a signal source. A calibrated signal source is not
needed to scale the controller.
The
Program
menu contains the following menus:
1. Scale without a signal source
2. Calibrate with a calibrated signal source
3. Total time base & conversion factor
4. Grand total time base & conversion factor
5. Total reset mode for total & grand total
The process inputs may be calibrated or scaled to any display value within the range of the controller.
Additional parameters, not needed for most applications, are programmed in the
Advanced Features
menu; see ADVANCED OPERATION AND PROGRAMMING, page 41.
Input Calibration Method (
InCAL
)
There are three methods of calibrating (or scaling) the display to show the correct engineering units.
•
Use the
Factor
menu to enter a K-Factor. (Pulse input models only.)
•
Use the
Scale
menu to enter the scaling without a signal source.
•
Use the
Calibrate
menu to apply a signal from a signal source.
Note: The K-Factor, Scale, and Calibrate functions are exclusive of each other. The meter uses the last
function programmed. Only one of these methods can be employed at a time. The Scale and Calibrate
functions can use up to 32 points (default is 2). The number of points should be set for Scale and
Calibrate accordingly under the Number of Points
(
nopts
)
menu selection prior to scaling and calibration
of the meter, see page 46 for details.
