Output not showing in dcs

The output may not be showing in the DCS for the YOKOGAWA FLXA202 due to the following reasons:
1. Incorrect Output Configuration – The output settings may not be properly configured. Ensure that the process parameters for output are correctly set.
2. HOLD Function Enabled – If the HOLD function is active, the output may be fixed at a set value instead of transmitting real-time data.
3. Simulation Mode Enabled – If the device is in simulation mode, it may not be sending actual measured values to the DCS.
4. Wiring or Connection Issue – Check if the wiring and connections between the FLXA202 and the DCS are correct and secure.
5. Power Supply Issue – Ensure that the analyzer is receiving proper power and there are no interruptions.
6. Communication Protocol Issue – If using HART communication, verify that the DCS is correctly configured to receive and interpret the HART signals.
7. Measurement Signal Issue – If the sensor is not providing valid measurements, the output value may not be transmitted properly.
To resolve the issue, check and adjust the output settings, verify connections, and ensure that the HOLD or simulation functions are not active.

Two (2) Sensor modules (2 inputs): 22.8 to 40V DC (for pH/ORP, SC and DO) Note: When the FLXA202/FLXA21 is used in the multi-drop mode of HART communication, the output signal is changed from 12.5 mA DC to 4 mA DC just after the power is turned on. Enough power supply for the instruments is to be provided.
<2. WIRING AND INSTALLATION> CAUTION The FLXA202/FLXA21 is used with a DC power supply. Do not use an alternating current or 100 volt mains power supply. The cable leading to the distributor (power supply) supplies the power to and transmits the output signal from the FLXA202/FLXA21.

Need help?
Do you have a question about the FLXA202 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Output not showing in dcs
The output may not be showing in the DCS for the YOKOGAWA FLXA202 due to the following reasons:
1. Incorrect Output Configuration – The output settings may not be properly configured. Ensure that the process parameters for output are correctly set.
2. HOLD Function Enabled – If the HOLD function is active, the output may be fixed at a set value instead of transmitting real-time data.
3. Simulation Mode Enabled – If the device is in simulation mode, it may not be sending actual measured values to the DCS.
4. Wiring or Connection Issue – Check if the wiring and connections between the FLXA202 and the DCS are correct and secure.
5. Power Supply Issue – Ensure that the analyzer is receiving proper power and there are no interruptions.
6. Communication Protocol Issue – If using HART communication, verify that the DCS is correctly configured to receive and interpret the HART signals.
7. Measurement Signal Issue – If the sensor is not providing valid measurements, the output value may not be transmitted properly.
To resolve the issue, check and adjust the output settings, verify connections, and ensure that the HOLD or simulation functions are not active.
