5.6.3 Point Options
After a point number is chosen, if the point is a new point to program, the point can be setup from scratch,
copied from another point already setup, or restored if the point had been setup previously and then deleted. If
the point chosen has already been setup, the point parameters may be modified, or the point may be deleted.
5.6.3.1 Setup a Point by Copying
At the “point? X” display, use the Numeric Keypad to enter the point number desired and press ENTER.
Use the UP (
↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Key to highlight “Copy pt” menu option and press ENTER. The display
will read “from pt? X”. Use the UP ( ↑) DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to select the desired point number, 1 - 9 or A
- F, from which to copy the parameters. When the point number desired to copy from is displayed, press
ENTER. The display reads one of the menu items in the Point Type Menu. You may continue programming
to change the point parameters as needed.
5.6.3.2 Setup a Point by Restoring
At the “point? X” display, use the numeric keypad to enter the point number desired to restore and press
ENTER. Use the UP (
↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to highlight “Restore pt” menu option and press ENTER.
You may continue programming to change the point parameters as needed.
NOTE: To restore a point, that point must have been previously programmed and still be in the system
memory. If the point was not previously programmed you will get a “PT NEVER SET” message.
5.6.3.3 Modify an Existing Point
At the “point? X” display, use the numeric keypad to enter the point number desired to modify and press
ENTER. Use the UP (
↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to highlight “Modify pt x” and press ENTER. You may
continue programming to change the point/parameters as needed.
5.6.3.4 Delete an Existing Point
At the “point? X” display, use the numeric keypad to enter the point number desired to modify and press
ENTER. Use the UP (
↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to highlight “Delete pt” and press ENTER. The display
will read “confirm del?”. Press ENTER or YES to delete the point. Press NO to exit the delete point menu
without deleting the point.
5.6.4 Programming Point Types
There are various point types that can be selected, from simple Linear to complex
equations. Once a point has been selected to Setup or Modify, the user will be
presented with the Point Type menu shown in Figure 5-5. The various choices are:
Linear - Basic voltage and current input with linear scaling or dry
contacts.
Industrial Square Root - Performs square root extraction on input.
Log Linear - Performs inverse logarithm on input.
T/C - Thermocouples as defined.
Rtd - Resistance Temperature Devices as defined.
Calculated - Derived channels from user entered algorithms.
Conditional - Boolean logic channels.
External - input channel via comm port.
