Data Reduction, Output Data Rate

Data reduction
Reduction applies for
You can reduce the measurement output in the controller if you set the output of every nth measurement value. Data
reduction causes only every nth measured value to be output. All other measured values are discarded. The reduction
value n can range from 1 (each measurement value) to 3,000,000. This allows you to adjust slower processes, such as a
PLC, to the fast sensor without having to reduce the measuring rate.

Error Handling (Hold Last Value)

If no valid measured value can be determined, an error is output. If this is a problem for further processing, the last valid
value can be retained for a certain period of time and will be output repeatedly.
Error handling
Grey shaded fields require a selection.
IMS5x00
Value Instructs the controller, which data are excluded from the output, and thus
the amount of transmitted data is reduced.
RS422 / Analog / The interfaces, which are provided for the
Ethernet sub-sampling, are to be selected with the checkbox.
Error output, Instead of a value, interfaces output an error
no value
Hold last value Interfaces output the last valid value until a new, valid value is available
infinitely
Hold last value Value Between 1 and 1024 values can be retained.
If the number is 0, the last value is retained until a new, valid
measured value appears.
Value
Fields with dark border require entry of a value.
