Advanced Operation and Configuration
MC5-IS' software refer to pressure modules as follows:
Port: Module Name
which means that there is an internal pressure module in port
P1 with a 0 to 400 mbar (0 to 6 psi) pressure range.
The names of internal pressure modules start with the letters INT
and end with the letters "-IS". The middle part of the name includes
numbers and possible additional letters as follows:
1. The number defines the max. nominal pressure in the SI
pressure unit bar.
2. If the number is followed by a small "m", the given max. nomi-
nal pressure is given in mbar.
3. If there is an additional letter C, the pressure module is a
compound module with an ability to also measure negative
gauge pressures.
Examples: Name
INT100m-IS
INT400mC-IS ± 400 mbar
INT2C-IS
Notes.
Compound modules with a max. nominal pressure above 1 bar
(e.g. INT2C) are able to measure negative pressures down to -1
bar. Compound modules with a max. nominal pressure below 1
bar (e.g. INT400mC) are only able to measure as deep negative
pressures as positive pressures.
The name of the internal barometric pressure module is B.
Eternal pressure modules have a name that start with the letters
EXT and end with the letters "-IS". The name includes numbers
and possibly an additional letter similar to internal modules (does
not apply to old XPMs).
Pressure transmitters or converters used for flow measurement
often have square rooting character. To enable correct percentage
error calculation of square rooting transmitters, select "square
rooting" as the Transfer Function.
Square rooting is required when entering instrument data for a
pressure instrument (see Part D, Calibration). Standard pressure
measurement in Basic Mode does not require any Transfer Func-
tion information.
