Page 38: Probe Information
In the Enter Probe Name field write a short descriptive name for the probe. In the example shown in Figure 6-3, the probe is simply titled “pH.” Figure 6-3 – After choosing the connector to which the probe attaches choose a name for the probe and the type of scaling. 2300 Controller Quick Start Guide Page 37... -
Page 39: Scaling
In the case of the latter, the signal coming into the 2300 simply needs to be scaled to translate current readings to process variable units. However, since we make no distinction in this manual between sensors and transmitters, we use the two terms interchangeably. -
Page 40: Scaling Of A Transmitter Signal
The procedure is similar to that of a true calibration. The difference is that the probe is connected to a transmitter instead of the 2300. The transmitter ‘s 4-20 mA output connects to one of the 2300’s four analog inputs. -

Page 48: K-Factor Scaling/Calibration
2300 calculates flow in the correct units. Figure 6-16 shows the screen in which one enters the factory-supplied K-factor. In order for the 2300 to calculate flow in the correct units you must also enter the units of volume and time. In the example in the figure those units are gallons and minutes. -
Page 49: Probe Description
Connecting Virtual Probes One of the most powerful features of the 2300 is its ability to construct “virtual” sensors from real ones. The most common type of virtual sensor is the totalizer, which integrates the flow over time to calculate a total volume. - Page 50 Figure 6-21 - The description for the totalizer is consistent with that for the flow probe to which the totalizer is connected. 2300 Controller Quick Start Guide Page 49...

Page 51: Configuring Differential Sensors
Similarly, controls and alarms may also be assigned to the differential value. Be aware that the difference value is already scaled from the input current values, so that further scaling is liable to provide non-meaningful values. The difference value may be either positive or negative. 2300 Controller Quick Start Guide Page 50... -
Page 52: Configuring A Flow Sensor For Batch Control
They are specialized flow totalizers that are used to fill containers in an automated batch filling operation. There are two types of Dispenser Probes selectable in the 2300 Controller. Both are used to action a flow in order to dispense a fixed volume of fluid. The vast majority of users will select the Manual Start Dispenser, which initiates the flow (via a relay) based on input from a contact switch closure. -
Page 53: Appendix
7.1.1. 3-channel Digital Input + 4-channel Digital Relay Output card The 3-channel Digital Input + 4-channel Relay Output card is included with the 2300 standard model. A second card brings to 6 the number of digital inputs and to 8 the number of normally open relay outputs. -
Page 54: 6-Channel Relay Output Card
This card provides for 4 channels of 4-20 mA output loops, which may be programmed via the Action function in the Probe Configuration Wizard. More than one output may be set for an input, and the outputs may be used for the virtual channels as well. 2300 Controller Quick Start Guide Page 53... - Page 55 Select Input button the back of the 2300 showing the Analog Output connector appears, as shown in Figure 7-4.
