POINTRAC 31 • 8/16 mA/HART - four-wire
The value is an indication for the reliability and reproducibility of the
switching point.
The greater the difference in the pulse rate between covered and
uncovered status, the greater the differential value (Delta I) and the
more reliable the measurement. The automatically calculated damp-
ing is also oriented around the Delta I value. The higher the value, the
lower the damping.
A Delta I value below 10 % is an indication for a critical measurement.
In this menu item you can simulate measured values via the current
output. This allows the signal path to be tested, e.g. via downstream
indicating instruments or the input card of the control system.
You can simulate different values:
Pulse rate of the sensor
Current output
Switching function of the relay
Information:
The simulation is automatically terminated 10 minutes after the last
press of a key.
The sensor calculates a suitable integration time automatically.
