10-1 Input and output adjustment This chapter describes how to use VJ77 to monitor input/output values of a JUXTA or YS80 instrument and how to set wire resistance compensation. JUXTA adjustments are made in the ADJUST menu window of the Parameter Setting window.
10.2.2 Adjusting the Input Span Apply the 100% level of the input to the JUXTA instrument. If the signal level after A/D conversion in the JUXTA instrument (the value displayed in the P05: IN1 SPAN ADJ data cell) and the actual input signal level do not match, you must correct the input span. The procedure is the same as above.
This section describes how to perform corrections of outputs. The following shows an example when doing so for a JUXTA VJH7 isolator. For wiring with a calibrator or other apparatuses, see the user’s manuals for respective JUXTA or YS80 instruments. Step 1 Double-click the P30: OUT1 ZERO ADJ data cell and click WRITE. The 0% level is then forcedly set to the output regardless of the input level.
10-4 10.4 Setting Wire Resistance Compensation This section explains how to perform wiring resistance correction using JUXTA VJU7 (S4) as an example. For wiring details, see the relevant JUXTA or YS80 user’s manual. If the input wiring resistance is causing a significant error after the wiring to the field device has been completed, you can compensate for the wiring resistance with the following procedure. Change the wiring connections in the field as shown at the bottom of this page. Step 1 When the input is stable, double-click the P01: WIRING R data cell. Step 2 Click the arrow next to the text box. Choose EXECUTE from the list and click...
To output the 100% value forcedly for example, type 100 and click WRITE. The 100% value is then output. The ADJUST menu window for some models of JUXTA does not have the TEST sub menu window on which you can forcibly set an output level. Even with such models however, it is possible to output 0% and 100% levels forcedly by the same procedure as that used for output correction.
