44 Configuration Parameters

General Parameters

Use the general parameters to configure the sensor out-of-range allowance and
to enable the relay reset switch terminals on the XM-360 module.

Channel Parameters

The channel parameters define the characteristics of the inputs you will be
using with the XM-360. Use the parameters to configure the sensor input
range, output scaling, and time constant. There are six instances of the channel
parameters, one for each channel.

Sensor OOR Allowance

The margin beyond the Input Range (as a
percentage of full scale) that will be considered valid
and will not cause a sensor out-of-range fault.

This parameter allows you to extend the sensor
out-of-range limits beyond the sensor input range.
For example, if the Input Range is set to "4-20mA"
and the Sensor OOR Allowance is set to "2%," then
values between 3.68mA and 20.32mA will be valid
and will not cause a fault.

0 to 5%

Enable/disable the relay reset switch terminals on
the XM-360 module. When this parameter is
enabled, the Channel 6 input terminals and Channel
6 4-20mA output terminals are made available to
wire an external relay reset switch for remote reset.
See page 22 for wiring details.

Note that Channel 6 is not available for configuration
if the Enable Relay Reset Switch is enabled.

TIP

The Channel LED will flash red when a sensor-out-of-
range condition exists on the channel even if you are not
using the channel. You can keep the Channel LED from
flashing red on unused channels by setting the channel’s
Sensor Input Range to "-5 to 5 Volts."

TIP

Channel 6 is not available for configuration if the Enable
Relay Reset Switch
parameter is enabled.
