Damping (Damping); Characteristic (Function); Fieldbus Address (Address) - ABB 265GS Operating Instruction

Configuration
7.4.2

Damping (DAMPING)

When the output signal for the transmitter is noisy as a result of the process, the signal can be
smoothed (damped) electrically.
The additional time constant can be set between 0 s and 60 s in increments of 0.001 s.
Damping does not affect the value shown on the digital display as a physical unit. It only affects
the parameters derived from this, such as the analog output current, free process variable, input
signal for the controller, and so on.
7.4.3

Characteristic (FUNCTION)

This menu item enables you to switch between the "linear" and "freely programmable" functions.
The individual values of the freely programmable characteristic cannot be changed here. A
handheld terminal or graphical user interface (DTM) must be used in order to make changes.
7.4.4

Fieldbus address (ADDRESS)

This menu item enables you to change the fieldbus slave address. A number between 0 and
126 must be entered for the selected pressure transmitter.
All new devices receive the factory setting "126". The pressure transmitters should be assigned
different addresses; this is the only way to ensure targeted addressing. If, for example, the
device data is loaded via the graphical user interface (DTM) after the address has been
changed, a new connection will be established and an error message may appear. This error
message must be acknowledged with "Repeat". The data will then be loaded without any
problems.
