Resolution of PV and Setpoint on CALogix-sw can be set as 0.01, 0.1 or 1. This resolution is also the format used for the corresponding
data register with CALogix unit to be read by an operator panel or for data acquisition. It is recommended that display setting of 0.01 is NOT
used when a thermocouple or PT100 sensor is used as the displayed value will fluctuate.

Setpoint 1 upper limit

Sensor Max

-9999 to 9999 step 0.01

Sets a maximum permissible value for Setpoint 1


Setpoint 1 Lower limit

Sensor Min

-9999 to 9999 step 0.01

Seets a minimum permissible value for Setpoint 1


Span Offset

0.0

-9999 to 9999 step 0.01

Realigns readings to match another instrument e.g. calibration source or meter see note on recalibration.


Zero offset

0.0

-9999 to 9999 step 0.01

Zero sensor error. +ve zero offset increases measured PV, -ve zero offset reduces measured PV, see note on recalibration.


Linear High

50.0

0.0 to 50.0 step 0.1

Configures maximum linear input see Linear inputs


Linear Low

10.0

0.0 to 50.0 step 0.1

Configures minimum linear input, see Linear inputs


Linear high scale

1000

-9999 to 9999 step 0.01

Scale controller to display value at Linear high value


Linear low scale

0

-9999 to 9999 step 0.01

Scale controller to display value at Linear low value



Module * - Output settings

Default

Options


Setpoint 1 output

None

Output 1, Output 2, Output 3

Select physical output to be assigned as Setpoint 1.


Setpoint 2 output

None

Output 1, Output 2, Output 3

Select physical output to be assigned as Setpoint 2


Setpoint 3 output

None

Output 1, Output 2, Output 3

Select physical output to be assigned as Setpoint 3


Output 1, 2 & 3 burnout state

De-energised

De-energised,

Energised

Configure state of outputs on sensor burnout / break


Output 1, 2 & 3 inversion

False

False,

True

Reverse operation of outputs


Output 1 inhibit

None

None, Output 2, Output 3

Prevents other outputs energising at the same time as Output1


Output 1,2 & 3 cycle count

-

Count value (Read only)

Each module internally stores a read-only value of the number of cycles for each output, this can be used to check the estimated remaining
life of a mechanical relay, if fitted.


Module * – Setpoint 1 control

Default

Options


Setpoint

1 0

-9999 to 9999, step 0.01

Change setpoint 1 value

P, PI, PID, PD, Park, On/Off

Primary control type for setpoint 1
P

Control


Band

10

0 to 9999, step 0.01

SP1 proportional band or Hysteresis -

* 100% sensor maximum, proportional control eliminates the cycling of on-off control. Output power

is varied, by proportioning action, across the proportional band


Integral Time

5 mins

0 to 9999, step 0.1

SP1 integral time/reset -

Auto-corrects proportional control offset error


Derivative time

25 secs

0 to 200, step 1

SP1 derivative time/rate -

Suppresses overshoot and speeds response to disturbances


DAC

2

0.5 to 8, step 0.5

SP1 derivative approach control dAC -

Tunes warm-up characteristics, independent of normal operating conditions, by adjusting

when derivative action starts during start-up (smaller dAC value = nearer setpoint).
